Half of year has passed (with additional month) and I haven’t missed a day filming a year movie. What an achievement for me!

Yeah, there some shots that look 100% placeholders, there is strange broken video with “WTF” caption (forgot to press “record” and press it instead of “stop”). There are days with amazing events I forgot to film, and instead of I used another footage. But there are no missed days — comparing to previous movies, it’s a hell of a progress.

That’s it, that’s the post. I’m just proud of myself and want to celebrate it.

Made another movie of the year.

From July 12 I started to film year movie. It was an idea in the my mind corner for a some time. I knew about all these “1 Second a Day” movies, and Timur Zarudny constantly mentioned his movies (he’s been shooting since 2013). He even released a course (as newsletter), but then 2022 happened, popular mailing services left Russia, and only recently Timur relaunched his course. I thought about purchasing for a few hours, then paid for it. I wanted something new and interesting.

There are several formats of such movies, the most well-known is to film one second each day, which I already mentioned. I think, it’s the simplest one, with numerous apps available to ease the process of shooting and editing.

Initially, I planned to do the same, but I also made a 2-second version for comparison. And after getting some feedback from my friends I decided to stick with this format. There are multiple episodes on some days, so the rules are flexible. The limitation helped maintain a rhythm and reduced editing complexity.
