It's come to this: A Hollywood movie without the Cinemescope cameras, cranes, booms, props or stages.

This Hollywood movie is being made by you, and your cinematic Swiss Army Knife is your cell phone.

"What's up people?" says famed director Spike Lee as he greets visitors to the Nokia Productions Web site. "Help us push the boundaries of creativity and co-create a film using your mobile phone."

Nokia is sponsoring Lee's plan for a three-act collaborative work featuring submissions created with cell phones.

At the most basic level, you can text in your ideas for the project, no camera work required. .Perhaps your words can inspire someone else's visual creativity.

Since music is part of the message to underscore Lee's theme of "humanity," Nokia offers a series of soundtracks you can use as part of your production, or you can create your own original score.

When I last checked, some 400 photos had been submitted. As you might expect, there are a lot of kid and family snapshots, but also some hauntingly beautiful scenes along an East Texas highway.

Users have already submitted a number of video clips ranging from backyard sports to a time-lapse look at a visit to an Oriental restaurant.

Even if you don't have anything to submit, you can be your own director by taking music, photos and clips from others and "re-mixing" that content using the online Jumpcut software that's integral to the creative process.

There are three "acts" in Spike Lee's project, building up to the "final cut" due in late October.

Along the way, active collaborators will be eligible for weekly prizes of (what else?) Nokia phones, along with a grand prize of a trip to the film's Hollywood premiere — and a meeting with Spike Lee.

We continue to get lots of questions about the big digital TV transition.

As you may know, next February 17 Channel 8 and all the other full-power local television stations across the USA will turn off their analog transmitters.

The most common question I get is: "Do I have to do anything to keep watching TV after next February?"

Most of our viewers watch us via a subscription to a cable TV or satellite service. If you fall into that category, you shouldn't have to do anything; you'll continue to get analog programming from a cable or a satellite box.

But if you don't have cable or satellite — and if you don't already have a digital TV set — you will need a low-cost digital TV converter box to receive the new channels and transform the signal into something your older TV can digest.

Our DTV Countdown page at WFAA.com has links to a lot of great resources, including the government's Web site that supplies free $40 coupons to subsidize the purchase of digital TV converter boxes.

One of the most common questions has to do with antennas, and one of our links has a lot of great information on that topic.

At AntennaWeb.org , just plug in your address and zip code and you'll get a personalized rundown of all the digital stations you should be able to receive at your location, along with color-coded suggestions for the best type of antenna to use.

There's also a map to show you precisely where your antenna should be aimed for optimal digital reception.

Don't forget: Your free TV will evaporate early next year if you don't have cable or satellite service. All local channels are already simulcasting their programming using digital transmitters. Why not make the change now?
