New project - shooting a lot on a Canon G70 camcorder for an entire year, making a lot of movies - has begun
In previous years I've shot a fiction feature every 1 to 3 or 4 years. I finished 1 feature in 2022, and then another 1 in 2023. But perhaps movies can be made faster with an approach that's similar to blogging and vlogging. Daily work, using easy-to-use gear. So we begin a new filmmaking experiment - shooting and releasing a lot of indie fiction features within 1 year, and using 1 camcorder. The camcorder that has been selected for this project is the Canon Vixia HF G70. It's a small sensor camcorder, but with very recent tech. The camcorder came out in fall/late 2022. Good focus and color tech. People mostly use that camcorder and similar ones for news, events, sports type work. But, I believe it can be used very well for fiction feature filmmaking. Here is video from day 1 - a quick cinematic look test to see if the colors will work (they will) and if other aspects of the camera will work (they will) for my filmmaking projects in 2024 - shot on a very cold day in NYC. More, better planned, with more post work, videos coming in the future. Also behind the scenes videos from the new movie. The first one is being planned for a March shoot at the moment.
