There s so much great work out there that even if I spent the full 24 hours a day on Directors Notes I d still only be scratching the surface, which is why I m so pleased that the mighty Wholphin DVD magazine exists to bring the best of it straight into our homes every quarter. I managed to hide the envy in my voice long enough to have a chat with creator and man at the helm Brent Hoff. Showlinks Wholphin David O.

Scribemedia interviews filmmaker Jehane Noujaim (CONTROL ROOM, Startup.com) about Pangea Day.

Shot, edited and sent with Nokia N93. This was our last weekend in the English countryside before we emigrate. I wanted to capture and cut together some quiet little moments to take with me on my phone as a reminder. But after it was done, I thought it could do with a bit of tightening to improve it. Maybe cut a few seconds here and there. So I opened up my phone and started fiddling. You know when you re doodling or sketching, and you make something you re vaguely pleased with, but then you just have to add one more line and then another and then another ? Oh - and my last week in England is also the fourth annual Videoblogging Week. So I ll be churning out my egocentric mobile rubbish every day this week! Hurray! To join in, just make a video every day this week and tag each video videobloggingweek2008 and post a link at: http://videobloggingweek2008.blogspot.com/ Original MP4 file

Please share this with any of your family or friends who d appreciate a little magic in their day And I m making films for the Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards at the moment, so if you like this film, I d love it if you could rate it and/or comment on the Pangea Day channel to help me out, and I ll return the favour on your videos/blog/podcast. Of the 200 or so films that I ve made with my phone in the last year, I think this is the one I like the most. We went on our favorite London walk for the last time yesterday with our friend Lucy - along the River Thames at Hammersmith. In two and a half weeks, we re moving to Canada. So I started filming a plane in the clouds with my phone, thinking about making a video about us leaving, and suddenly something magical happened and kept on happening! Instead of fading, they got brighter, and more intense! In mythology, religion, art, literature, music and film, the Rainbow is a powerful symbol - a sign of hope and life and new beginnings. I grew up in Christian boarding schools, so usually the first thing I think of when I see a rainbow is the rainbow that God sends Noah after the great flood in Genesis: And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. Yeah. It s either that or The Wizard Of Oz. See you on the other side

Shot and edited on my Nokia N93 phone - excuse the lip sync - combination of the phone editor and Ovi s flash video conversion. The next person to inspire me : Mrs Patel from our local Post Office, about to be closed down by incompetence and greed in government and the privatised Post Office. After 35 years of service to our community - what does she get? An OBE? No. Termination. This is today s entry for the Pangea Day Nokia Mobile Filmmaking Awards. The brief is to make 2 minute films about: - The next thing that makes you smile. - An act of kindness. - The next person to inspire you. - The best part of today. They don t stipulate in the rules that it has to even be shot on a phone, never mind a Nokia, but I m doing what I always do and shooting AND editing on my N93. Hopefully that ll give me extra brownie points with the judges! (if I get that far) Please go here to the Pangea Day channel on Ovi and give me views and comments and favorites to help me out. You need to sign up for an Ovi account to comment, but if you have a spare two minutes, *please* do (also, you should upload your own)! It s only the most popular films that will get a chance to go in front of the judges. I should say that aside from the main competition at Ovi, the remarkable Mr David Howell has been appointed by Nokia to run his own Pangea Day competition at http://davidhowellstudios.com - post a link to your film in his comment section by May 2nd. ANYWAY, enough selling as for today s film The Government are currently engaged in a disgraceful act of cultural vandalism. I believe that in 10-20 years - and beyond - they will be remembered for two things: The Iraq War, and the loss of the Post Offices. For the sake of a mere ??200m per year, they are closing the last remaining centre of community in thousands of towns, villages and urban neighbourhoods. This is a brief interview with Mrs Patel, who has run our Post Office for 35 years. Two posts offices within half a mile of here are closing. Seven in our Borough. (and of course thousands throughout the country.) We have a higher density of older and disabled people in this ward than anywhere else in the borough - people who will lose vital services. I m glad that I m not going to be in the country at the next election. I d be in a real dilemma at the ballot box. I couldn t bring myself to vote Tory, but nor could I bring myself to reward the current bastards for everything they re doing. Every day, more reasons to emigrate. The Post Office issue is a classic case of everything that s wrong with a) blind Privatisation and b) our party-based representative democracy. The local MP, Andy Slaughter, who lives opposite me, was fiercely against the closure of the Post Offices. But he couldn t express that view in Parliament, where he represents us, or he d lose his job. He was forced to vote for something he knew to be wrong, because his weak, venal party leadership had decreed it as policy. Anyway, you probably came here to watch me making my usual arse of myself, not listen to my political opinions, so I ll stfu and let you meet the lovely, inspiring, discarded Mrs Patel.
