I am a big fan of social media for teaching, learning & promotion.

What if we/you as film makers actually produced the content for others for this media?

We could earn money, control the creative & build a rep too?

This medium is not going away; it’s new; we have the tools/knowledge & ability to use it to our own advantage.

I see this as a whole new outlet for our desire to create & show our work.

Regards,

Rachael

If a Feature Film is a Novella and a Short Film is a Short Story. This is the Haiku of Cinema. And that isn’t a bad thing.

the folks that created the particular kind of animated GIF that became known as a cinemagraph used it in a way i think is actually indicative of a the potential. these apps don’t seem to capture that at all. they’re just GIFS mostly. which is fine, just not cinemagraphs. and i don’t think a proper cinemagraph encroaches into filmmaking at all. its purpose is entirely different (save the basic to all media which is to tell a story).

Loved the post Peter, and thanks for the mention! I think promoted Lightt ‘highlights’ or the like from high profile users or productions could definitely be a viral marketing strategy of the future.

I don’t think this hurts filmmaking. I think it actually adds to it. I was just writing a post on my blog about using the Ipad to shoot BHS footage when I saw this article. BHS footage is almost essential to low budget film promotion (and certainly big budget as well). So, I think an app like Lightt can really help with film promotion. Imagine being able to shoot decent video and quickly edit/grade it for upload to youtube to document the making of the film. Its easy, quick, and anyone can do it, even your other crew & cast!

While a gradually shortening attention span is something to worry about, the YouTube generation hasn’t eaten into the huge profits of terrific flicks like Skyfall and Lincoln. On that same thought, I don’t think filtered GIFs like the one in the article will endanger what we do on the net.

Cinemagraphs should be good for some types of advertising. Web advertising and Point-of-Purchase are two that come to mind. When I first saw them, about a year ago, I was impressed.

Cinemagraph poster, at a mall, would be usefull to entice people to go the the cineplex to view your film.
