You might use your mobile phones to take photos. But what about making films? The Golden Globe-nominated (提名的) director Lalu Wang has tried this. She made a short film on her phone to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Her filmNian(《阿年》) is about a well-known Chinese folk(民间) story. A young girl wants to find a beast(野兽) called Nian. But when she meets him, she finds that Nian isn't bad at all. They build a beautiful friendship together.
Making films on a phone is much cheaper than making on aprofessionalmovie camera. This lets young filmmakers(电影制作人) to start making their own movies. Wang said that another good thing about making on phones is that it lets filmmakers to be more mobile and free. After all, phones are easy to carry and use.
“We try to find out where else we can put our phones so we can get movies that are just a little bit more special," Wang said. “We thought, 'Oh, why don't we just put the phone inside of Nian's mouth?'” .
It's much like what photographer (摄影家) Chase Jarvis once said, “The best camera is the one that's with you. ”
