About me: if you are 18-24 and living in the north west of england, enter our mobile filmmaking competition.
if you're not 18-24 or you're not in the North West, why not show us what you can do with your mobile phone anyway - either here or via our YouTube channel.
Who I'd like to meet: people using their mobile phones creatively
Are you keeping your camera busy? Have you made any little movies recently?
Looking for inspiration? Check out the short clip on my page. The Nintendo Wii doesn’t actually feature whaling or beheading games but it did inspire one video maker to put together a 2:40 runtime film based on the popular home video game console.
Here’s one I did a couple of days ago to showcase one of my 3D models:

I thought it was as dull as paint, but it appears to have amused a few gamers.
If I can make a little movie then so can you, so get your lenses polished and get an entry in for the Cinema With a Big See competition. You never know, you might just get that £1,000 first prize.

After the success of the Science with a Big See competition, Cinema With a Big See is going Scotlandwide, online and open to films of all kinds.
In association with TayScreen, sponsor, Dundee Prototypical Simulations is working with Scotland’s own YouTube, ScotVid.com and this time there’ll be four prizes up for grabs – a total of £2,000.
Anyone over the age of 16 and based in Scotland can submit an entry in the general or science categories, as either an amateur or professional film-maker.
And it’s a great chance for film-makers to get their work in front of judges like top UK promo producer Simon PoonTip, whose company works with bands like Candi Payne and the View.
The closing date for entries is Friday, 1st February 2008. Go to ScotVid.com for more information or to submit an entry.
Sorry, only open to entrants resident in Scotland. But if that means you’re excluded, why not move north of the border to work or study. Come and find out why everyone is talking about Dundee.
Show us what you can do with your mobile phone, upload your clips to www.shortsharpshots.co.uk by 21st Sept 2007 to be in with a chance of winning a production grant of £250 plus training and support to make a new film, and *NEW* a top of the range video phone so your final film will be even better!
