Mobile Movies Showcase – Week 59
Welcome the fifty ninth showcase in our Mobile Movies Column, curated and edited by Vanessa Vox and Giulia Baita. Every two weeks Vox and Baita will curate the movie uploads to our Flickr group MobileMoviesTheAppWhisperer. They will view all the videos uploaded and comment on the ones selected.
Within this selection today, both Vox and Giulia have curated the movies and Giulia has written the commentary for this week, this will alternate (foreword by Joanne Carter).
All of the entries were either shot or created on mobile devices. Many congratulations to Chad Rankin, Eleni Gemeni, Nanou Ghanem, Armineh Hovanesian and Ger Van Den Elzen for being featured this time.
Mobile Art Video by Chad Rankin
Nice movie presented for the new section to TheAppWhisperer – TrueView Interview – “What does my work say about mobile art?”. Nice idea to respond with his own reflection in the mirror. Professionalism in the words of Chad. Compliments!
Going Backwards by Eleni Gemeni
This movie is original and fun. Nice idea to edit the scene backwards and accompany the music in the same way. Mood old as a silent film 20’s. The end result of the work makes this movie very enjoyable as the scene of a comedy.
Long Beach by Nanou Ghanem
How many numbers? By Armineh Hovanesian
Magnificent mood, as usual … A woman plays guitar and a voice that articulates the numbers in French. The scene is repeated for a few seconds. Tasteful and personal atmosphere of great poetry.
In a split minute by Ger Van Den Elzen
In a split minute we see a singular scene. A double image and people coming in and out from a glass door. Extraordinary view captures the original vision of an everyday scene. The music which accompanies the video is really cool!
