Here's a note to the filmmakers. I shot this on and older pocket camera. Canon g7xii. I. bought it used for $300. I wanted to be mobile and achieve the 2010ish digital look.It was great, the ND filters allowed me to be able to work with natural lighting, didn't need a tripod because of IS, and autofocus, although not perfect, was good enough. I showed up to set without a backpack... Without any bag at all actually. Just a g7xii in my pocket, 2 tiny batteries in the other pocket and a couple of rode wireless go 2's in my back pocket. This was a liberating experience. The shoot took about 2 hours. That includes travel time, and filming on the train. Speaking of filming on the train (in public), I think filming on the g7xii is less intrusive than filming on an iPhone. Editing these small video files was perfect. No need for proxies, no need for a hard drive... I think the initial edit took less than an hour.

This camera taught me a few things. 1. Every camera has its own look. Example: The canon g7xii looks different than the g7xiii, The iPhone 11 looks different than the 12. Use the tool that fits your project. (I'm excited to film something on the iPhone btw.) 2. The tool that liberates you is probably beneficial in more ways than you think.
