I'm thinking about making a short experimental film with my camcorder

I might make it only a minute long. And edit together quick takes.

I think my library has editing software so I can edit it together there when the library is done being renovated.

Cool! It’s kinda hard to explain it’s like a narrative about cinema, the camera’s perception, our perception, and a short monologue on the occult.

It might be longer than a minute haha!!

I’ve always wanted to do that. I wrote a short screenplay once years ago that I wanted to film. (Before the age of camcorders and videography). It’s now actually possible to do. I would have to hire the actors.

I would also have to learn how to edit.

@Lifer Thanks bud! :blush:

@SkinnyMe Yes, it’s a lot easier nowadays to shoot a film with digital technology. It even makes lighting and sound design easier.

@anon39054230 While I’ll even direct a feature with a cast of dwarves only!!! :crazy_face:

@Montezuma

The original Blair Witch Project movie was shot using a Digital 8 camcorder and 16 mm film.

Definitely! It went on to gross millions too. A lot of young directors like starting out in horror films.

David Lynch shot Inland Empire on a little consumer camcorder.

@Montezuma What about making the shortest found footage movie ever?

That would be a lot of fun! :smiley:

It would definitely force one to be creative and conservative with the script length.

I tried making a move in high school with some friends and a buddy’s camcorder, it sucked but we had a good laugh.
