What Happened at the Nokia Lumianation Party?



Nokia Philippines threw in a grand party celebration last May 17 at the Amphitheater, Fort called "Lumianation" (Club Experience in a New Light). It was Nokia's way to market their beautifully designed Windows phones - Lumia 610, Lumia 710, the Lumia 800, and Lumia 900.

The rains didn't stop the people from partying all night. Music, lights, cocktails, and alcoholic beverages kept the people dancing and grooving all night. Booths of Nokia, Globe, and Smart were situated at the back for some phone demos, inquiries, and purchases.

Nokia's Lumianation party was hosted by VJ Kat Alano, standing in front of a huge, multi-stepper cubed stage lighted by LED screens. 

After a brief event introduction, Kat called on Nokia Philippines General Manager Dharmesh Goshalia to say a few words about the Nokia Lumianation event and of course the Nokia Lumia smartphones.

It was followed by the introduction of Nokia Philippines' Corporate Communications Manager Nikka Abes,  from whom the go signal to start the raffle came from. Nokia gave away a couple of Lumia 610, some Lumia 710, one Lumia 800, and another one Lumia 900.

Hiphop dancers jumped up and down the cubed stage as they dance to the club beats. They ended their jamming by gathering in one spot and pointing their arms towards the building on the right. That act led the people's attention to watch the surprise video shown to the audience. Watch it:



Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the first time it was done by Nokia here in the Philippines. The video mapping technique has been seen in other countries, but watching it live was surreal for me. I'm happy that Nokia Philippines thought of doing it here.

The first part of the video showed the "primitive" Nokia phones before the Nokia Lumia's came to life. Nice one!

Guest performer Jumpsmokers immediately went on to the stage to sing, rap, and entertain the audience. They came all the way from Chicago to celebrate with the people at the Lumianation party.
