A company called Talenthouse recently teamed up with mobile handset maker Nokia to offer a prize to the winner of a mobile film competition. The competition was designed to find the most talented videographer who is using mobile phones to create hot videos today. The prize was the chance to film an exclusive private concert by star singer Rihanna on the evening of November 16th. The winner of the competition is a 24-year old mobile videographer named Michael J. Herbert. He’ll have the chance to use the new Nokia X6 device to film the concert which takes place in London.

The competition, called “Creative Invite” pitted mobile phone videographers from around the world against one another to determine who is doing the best job of making videos using mobile phones today. Mobile phone artists were invited to submit their work for review. Herbert won because of the creativity and polished skill that he exhibited in the samples that he submitted for review. The United States artist got to travel to London to film the concert. His work is then being streamed out live to viewers so a global audience can watch the concert along with him.

This speaks to a lot of changes that are taking place with mobile technology today. It shows that major brand names are taking mobile phone art and mobile phone videos very seriously. It shows that there is a growing interest among filmmakers to use mobile phones as the medium through which they practice their craft. And it hints at the fact that new handsets being produced in the years to come will have advanced video features that these artists can probably only dream about today!
