02.04.2011– Oklahoma City, OK - Kyle Roberts, owner of the Oklahoma City-based film company Reckless Abandonment Pictures, has released a music video featuring local independent singer-songwriter Denver Duncan.
Set to Duncan’s original song, “Stalker,” the video is the first to be shot entirely with Nokia’s new N8 smartphone.
In the video, posted to YouTube on Jan. 31, Duncan is stalked on a social networking site by Oklahoma City resident Jenna McCarthy, then he returns the favor by stalking her back. Ultimately the two meet in person and enjoy an afternoon together in Bricktown
First Official Nokia N8 Music Video: Denver Duncan "Stalker" From concept to finish this project took 30 hrs to create. It was shot exclusively on the Nokia N8. Kyle Roberts says, " I put together a "case/plate" for the phone so we were able to use a tripod, steadycam, and even a slider. If your looking for a GD&TOP or TVXQ style music video, this isn't it! Hope all you stalkers out there enjoy this smart phone music video!"

“It all came together very quickly and seamlessly, about two days total,” Roberts said. “Denver and Jenna were incredibly professional and easy to work with, and the online stalking concept is funny because it’s so true to life, and well-timed considering Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.”
Nokia offered Roberts free use of the phone, based on the YouTube success of the “Sarsparilla Girl” music video he directed for local band Dr. Pants with an iPhone 4. Roberts has entered the video in the wireless company’s “Nokia N8 Producers” contest.
The song, “Stalker,” appears on Duncan’s most recent album, “Let’s See What Happens,” and is also available on iTunes.
