First mobisode on Youtube - by CiperP

I found this on the homepage of Youtube (underneath a rather lame, ‘we just made 1.6 billion dollars – thanks’ video from the Youtube founders. I kid you not.

CiperP was reading an article by Jenna Fischer in September’s Esquire Magazine called “10 things you don’t know about women.”

As he notes:

So I decided to celebrate it with a recital from the guys at The Office … filmed entirely on my phone.
I think that makes this the first ever Office Phonisode

Have a look att he video here. He’s got people from his office reading out each line of the article.

Smart. Now, the quality isn’t much — I reckon it must have been filmed on a low quality handset as there’s a lot of blurring/pixelation now and again, but it’s good enough to put on Youtube — and excellent enough to engage with. I imagine he’s filmed it on the mobile and then edited it as necessary on his desktop prior to uploading.

This is a super example of user generated content — via mobile. We’re getting there. 191,500 people have viewed it so far.
