The Commuter with Dev Patel

Slumdog Millionaire‘s Dev Patel stars in the action packed short film “The Commuter.” The groundbreaking film was shot in just four days entirely in mobile HD with the Nokia N8 smartphone using no back up cameras, with the streets of London and St Albans providing the backdrop to Nokia’s story about one commuter’s eventful journey to work. Along with Dev Patel, “The Commuter” stars Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) and Pamela Anderson (Baywatch). It’s pretty amazing how far we’ve gotten with technology that short films can be shot with mobile phones. The cameramen on the set used an adapted steadicam system to hold the Nokia N8, which was used as the sole device for filming. The N8 features a 12 MP camera and stunning high definition 720p video.

Previously, Nokia used some nice special effects for the Nokia N96 to show Bruce Lee lighting matches with nunchucks and Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchucks.
