During the launch for the N8 in China a pornographic video streamed LIVE causing an awkward/embarassing moment for the Finnish company.
That said they have been going to town on demonstrating the quality of the N8's output. The latest campaigns all challenge creatives to create with or on the new handset, letting the quality speak for itself. In the clip below the image is drawn using a stylus on the N8s touch screen.
And they have also remade Pearl Harbour shot entirely using the phone's built in camera. Using scale models it's a pretty impressive film.

40 years
40 years has just won best international short film at the Orlando Film Festival along with a bucket load of other film festival selections and a couple of other prizes for best sound and best cinematography.
It's the first film directed and written by my old friend Russell Appleford. He created the Channel 4 idents and is a 3D wizard. For a short film it has an unprecedented level of CGI effects. That's due to Russ' skills and the fact that he created and animated the monster himself. I helped Russ out by painting the set at Greenford studios (I'm offically a Set Decorater) and Mr Shinn & I also did the type design.
Check out the trailer here

Skip digging
This from CR Blog
"So what's this all about? Well, turns out that long established Soho record shop, Harold Moores (specialist in classical and jazz releases), is closing for a re-fit. In order to prepare the shop for its revamp, staff are chucking out thousands and thousands of records (well over 20,000 by my reckoning) - which were dumped, rather unceremoniously, in a skip outside the premises...
But that's not to say the records are destined for landfill just yet. During my lunchbreak I stumbled across this scene of vinyl hungry people clambering over each other to grab a few vintage slabs of wax..."
