I guess you aren't aware of the various films and music videos created with Nokia phones, such as music videos by the Noisettes, Rob Dickinson, Eskimo Hunter, Chantal Kreviazuk, plus complete short and feature films from Spike Lee and Barbara Seghezzi.

Many aspiring filmmakers use Nokia Nseries devices for video, and the N900 shoots probably the best video other than the N93, and though without autofocus, which Nokia doesn't have in any other video device, probably alot sharper than the N93 as well.

Just trust me, the video angle will be a winner. It is for most Symbian guys, and the N900 will bring a different level of video and image capture than most of you are used to. It is DVD quality video. That's better than anyone else by far, and the world needs to know.

I agree whatever we do must speak to more than geeks, but we don't want to be too simplistic. The N900 is for the tech savvy guy, and we'll need to speak his language in layman's terms.

Something I think resonates with geeks on a subliminal level is if the characters are lampooned, like the Beastie Boys in the "Sabotage" video. The 70's look and bad wigs makes people laugh. It's totally G4/TechTVish in nature.

For the "Verizon like group", we don't need to copy them at all. I say call the devs "The ORG", and they should not look like geeks with the tape on the bridge of the glasses, but sleekly dressed trendy guys with fashionable framed glasses and expensive clothes. The RICH geek that's your boss, not the nerds with no ladies that work in the A/V dept. We need the geeks to be something cool, maybe a group of 10 guys and gals, all attractive, with laptops, wireless microphone headsets, the works.

I'm all for the FM transmitter deal, and the TV out one as well. Not many devices have true tv out.

I'm ready to start doing storyboards, but I don't have any video equipment at all right now. I can contribute music if necessary, maybe write a script. I'd really hope to have timsamoff as the lead on this based on his expertise and experience. Do we have a time constraint to get this done? I'm really wanting to make it happen.

I think the quality of the production should be good. To have multiple videos on YouTube of various quality may detract from the perception of Maemo and the N900. Apple ads are always perfect. We need the same quality, and I don't see why we can't get it ourselves.

Does anyone have any volunteers for a cast?
