Hi,

W+K, Nokia, Lcuk, and I have been working on putting together a "library" of videos, showcasing real Maemo Community members talking about what they like about their Nokia N900s. You can view some of the tests here:

http://vimeo.com/maevoice

Yes, you'll notice a bunch of "us" in those videos.

Ok, so now we need "you." At some point in the future, something really cool is going to be done with all of these videos (trust me). And, these videos will be seen by millions of people, all over the world (really).

But, what do we need from you?

Take a look at the videos at the URL above. One of the videos that exemplifies what we're looking for is this one, by Adam (rm_you):

http://vimeo.com/7544002

Here are the "rules":

Record one more video where you answer the following question:

"What is your favourite feature on the N900 and why?"

DO
  • Do shoot it in front of a fixed camera or webcam.
  • Do talk directly to camera.
  • Do hold the phone.
  • Do make sure that what you are saying is audible.
  • Do talk about why you like whatever particular feature.
DON'T
  • Don't try to show the feature on the phone. Just hold it.
  • Don't move the camera around. It should be a fixed shot.
Also, one thing you will see in all of the existing videos is us saying the, "This is my voice," part. Don't do that. It was a test and we decided not to use it.

Then what?

Once you have recorded a video (or videos), PM me via this forum and let me know. When you do, I will give you the login info to the Vimeo account where we want the video(s) uploaded.

Easy, no?

Thank you. I look forward to receiving your PMs and seeing your videos!

Tim
