I hope this hasn't already been posted, I couldn't find anything using 'search.
Australian production company, Film Headquarters has made an innovative music video for the Presidents of the United States of America, for their Australian single “Some Postman”. This is the first music video in the world to be shot using mobile phones.
“Some Postman” is currently on Australia's Channel V (as “Clip of the Week” last week), ABC, Rage, Video Hits, VH1 and national and regional radio networks as the band prepare to launch their album "Love Everybody" in Australia in October, backed up by an Australian tour.
The music video was filmed in Seattle in just one day using a plethora of Sony Ericsson mobile video phones. The content was then blue–toothed to a Mac and composed like a jigsaw puzzle to form the basis of the edit.
The director of the video, Grant Marshall from Film Headquarters, said he was very excited when Presidents of the USA agreed to this idea. He came up with the idea after the company's creative team lamented how budgets for Australian music videos were far lower than those for international clips. Producer Nick Wolff said "We joked that budgets were getting so small that the next thing we'd be doing is shooting on a mobile phone."
