Here's a link to a section of the website for UGA's New Media Institute. This particular page features a number of informative public awareness pieces that were all filmed using cellphones with built-in video cameras. The film-shorts were then edited in Final Cut Pro and compressed down to much smaller sizes so as to optimize for distribution to mobile, video-capable devices and platforms, such as cellphones, PDAs, and iPods. The project, called the Mobile Media Workshop, was designed and carried out to show the new and powerful ways in which technology can be used to disseminate news and information, with emphasis placed on the growing importance of mobile video and the fact that improvements in technology allow us to no longer be limited to the TV or home computer in our search for video-based information and entertainment.
