"The small, lightweight, inexpensive camcorder was a great liberator for filmmaking. Not only did it mark a significant leap in accessibility, it also made it easier for filmmakers to achieve the kind of raw, immediate visual language that had been established by directors like Spike Jonze in Video Days (1991)."
"The introduction of video recording to digital single-lens reflex cameras in 2008 marked another shift in the industry. The bigger sensors, interchangeable lenses, real control over depth of field and other features started to feel like a real filmmaking tool."
"When the Apple iPhone, originally released in 2007, introduced a video feature in 2009, it altered the way we make and consume moving images. Films have been made on it like Tangerine (2015), and people can now watch movies anywhere."
"As consumers move toward high definition, some filmmakers are looking backward and experimenting with older lenses. A modern digital sensor and old optics marry well with each other, producing certain aberrations or unpredictable elements."
The introduction of the MiniDV camera in 1995 transformed filmmaking by making it more accessible and allowing for a raw visual style. This shift was furthered by the creative legitimacy gained through films like David Lynch's Inland Empire in 2006. The advent of video recording in digital single-lens reflex cameras in 2008 provided filmmakers with advanced tools. The iPhone's video feature in 2009 changed how films are made and consumed, leading to a focus on high-definition techniques while some filmmakers experiment with older lenses.
