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.

The case for using AI for indie film reviews (if tech is developed to be able to write good reviews)

Regardless of how it is presented to the public, everything in US film (and probably worldwide) - Hollywood and indie - is about money.  If you have the money, you can make and release films, buy ads in publications, and get reviews.  There are 200+ reviews for a mediocre Hollywood movie now at Rotten Tomatoes site - for the new Fantastic Four movie. At the same time there were less than 10 reviews for an indie movie that was playing at IFC Center in NYC last week. Outside of even IFC runs, there are 100s of indie movies - fiction features and doc features - that come out on VOD and YouTube every week these days that do not get reviewed and do not get any articles written about them. With some effort I and many other indie filmmakers are able to get some reviews for our movies. However, the vast majority of new indie films are not reviewed. Film is art, it is easier to make and release films now than it was in the past, and all films deserve reviews and articles about them. ...

Written notes/review plus live video review of By the Stream (2025) by Hong Sang-soo

By the stream review - from Lincoln Center, NYC viewing - no spoilers The hype is real - By the Stream is very good by Hong movies standards and also normal comedy-drama standards. There were like 30-40 people at Lincoln Center for the 1PM Fri 8/8/25 (opening day) screening of By the Stream.  People in that neighborhood are serious about their foreign films. Cinematography is very simple, from a canon XA small sensor HD cam, I could see familiar details, how those cams film the moon, scenes at night - it’s like a 1980s or 1990s early indie cinematography style that we do not see much these days - works well for Hong’s movies. No color grading, very simple video/cinematography. A more fleshed out movie than some recent Hong movies. In the movie a skit is prepped, and we actually get to see it performed. A couple of serious issues are discussed.  Some unexpected, light things happen. It’s a comedy-drama chill hangout movie w/ creative South Korean people - good times. Probably o...
