Apple launched their new phones on Thursday, June 24, 2010. On June 27, 2010 we shot a film using only the iPhone 4s. Every shot you see here was taken with Apple iPhone 4.

The score is by a guy in Colorado Springs by the name of Luke Atencio. It was purchased at www.Tunesociety.com.

We used Owle Bubos (http://www.wantowle.com). They’re killer for getting stabilization and shooting through a real lens. We highly recommend them.

Thank you to the great team we had put together, all the racers, the interviews we’ve yet to use (but are planning to in a follow-up).

…or have a slap and tickle naked party in the shower, followed by "injury faking" and "arm raising" training? Maybe bake a little bread and go shopping?

They watch their game to improve.

I bet you would love all that. You wouldn’t last 10 minutes on a football pitch.

Sri Lanka rolls out the red carpet for IIFA

The 11th edition of the IIFA Weekend began here on Thursday with the host country Sri Lanka rolling out the red carpet for Bollywood actors who are participating in the extravaganza despite calls to boycott the event.

Stars such as Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan are participating in the controversy-ridden event which has been boycotted by the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce as a mark of protest against the alleged mistreatment of the Tamils in the country.

The arriving stars were given a warm welcome by the Lankan fans at the Bandaranaike International Airport today.

Roads leading from the airport at Katunayake to Colombo were manned by police and army personnel and a pilot vehicle escorted all guests along the hour long drive from the airport to the city.

For the first time, IIFA brand ambassador Amitabh Bachchan is not attending the three-day event which has come to be known as the ‘Bollywood’s Oscars’ outside Indian shores.

The megastar is currently shooting in Gujarat while his actor son Abhishek is in Istanbul for a film shoot and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai is in Paris to promote a brand.

Shah Rukh Khan who has not attended the IIFA weekends since 2005, has decided to give it a miss this time as well citing the ongoing production of Ra.one.

But Sri Lankan cricket captain Kumar Sangakara applauded the film personalities for their “courage and conviction” in coming to Colombo despite obstacles.

Sangakara who will play a charity match against a team led by Hrithik and Sunil Shetty said that his countrymen were “true fans” of Bollywood stars and expressed confidence that his country would live up to the challenge.

Actor Vivek Oberoi who has spoken up against the protests said that though he had a special relationship with Tamil Nadu, he believes that the IIFA event will actually benefit the displaced Tamil population of Sri Lanka.

“My foundation-Yashodhara Oberoi foundation has worked for the rehabilitation of 3,000 Tsunami affected families in Tamil Nadu. Any platform that does good work is a good platform. My foundation and IIFA along with Tamil NGOs and Sri Lankan NGOs are joining hands to build homes for war affected people in Northern and Eastern Sri Lanka,” he said.

Jacqueline Fernandez, the Sri Lankan beauty queen who debuted in Bollywood with Aladin opposite Riteish Deshmukh thanked the film fraternity for supporting her country.

Variety of events

The IIFA weekend will see many events including film launches, a charity cricket match and a fashion show, leading up to the gala award ceremony on Saturday.

Salman along with co-star Sonakshi Sinha will walk the ramp at the fashion extravaganza to showcase his upcoming film Dabangg.

Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksha will inaugurate the FICCI-IIFA Global business forum on Friday which will be attended by prominent personalities from the field of business, entertainment and cricket from both countries.

Films like Help, Lamha and Knockout will be showcased while there will be a sneak preview of Kingdom of Dreams where Hussain Kuwajerwala, Isha Sharvani and Gauhar Khan will perform a piece from the soon to be launched theatre production.

The grand finale of the three day extravaganza, the IIFA awards on June 5, will see star studded performances from Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Bipasha Basu, Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Jacqueline.

The actors in the world are common to all people. why some tamil people protest against the actors not to go srilanka to participate in the film festival but many indian actors are gone there to attend the film festival celebrations.
