JANUARY 2007 - IAFILM spreads its web.
Now that "blogger" provides on the fly logging so well, let's try it out for running
an
iafilm Blog.
YouTube offers an interesting hosting environment with the potential to reach a
large audience and interact with them by videos becoming discussion starters and
even the method of dialogue in discussions. A mostly non-commercial environment
but good promotional opportunities.
iafilm on YouTube is now up and running. Some of the
clips there are recently-made "quickies" in a quirky-alternative-reportage style
which we have made especially to go on YouTube. We are into scoring higher
viewing figures so we can point to them when going for funding for future-planned
bigger ambitious iafilm movies. The best score so far is 205 views for "Raurimu
Spiral" but the recently-added "The cheekygirl10 Guide to Len Lye" is growing fast
and we have high hopes for it to do well.

What's Up with Film Digitisation?
John Calder experiments with Super-8mm and "simulated 16mm" (via a 35mm still camera)
to report on methods for archiving the Iafilm film legacy.
Which leads to a big question does it make sense to shoot our new projects on Super-8
? UPDATE: June 2007 after the experience of making a new Super-8 Film
- in most cases "no". Super-8 can give excellent results when using fine-grain
black and white film, and otherwise has a grainy "look" which may be effective for
the odd shot, but for general use we now want to move on and get into HDV.
