Component 4 is all about the Cameo Microfilms I produced in 2015.
As with all the ‘components’ of my Dabbling with Creative Technologies final project, 365 FRAMES 2015 is its own distinct and complex project.
My cameo microfilms are 12 very short films (two-and-half minutes or less) that I produced using Vimeo’s now defunct Cameo video editing app.
The original version of the app allowed you to edit together a sequence of shots, with or without applying image filters and text, alongside a piece of licensed music available within the Cameo app’s music library.
The footage I used to create my 12 cameo microfilms came from the footage I shot for my 365 FRAMES 2015 project which I was undertaking at the same time.
Ultimately, my 12 cameo microfilms represent a somewhat more refined expression of the short form filmmaking I was evolving in my 365 FRAMES Project.
I used the creation of cameo microfilms as a further means of refining my practice with short form filmmaking and the microfilms very much exist as an adjunct project to the experimental filmmaking I was undertaking in my 365 FRAMES 2015 project.
