My jaw dropped when I saw that you had less than 200 subscribers. This is genuinely one of the best video essays I've seen in a long time, and it hit on lots of things I've personally been thinking about (transcendental filmmaking and short form content). You helped me understand transcendental filmmaking better and name things I've been feeling, and it is very clear that this was well researched with plenty thoughtful material to illustrate your points. I can tell your channel is going to do well, because this was an amazing essay, and I look forward to following you for more! You just got one more subscriber!
very good job - subscribed - also really enjoyed the short in the end. And a very good idea to put it at the end of the videoessay where there is an audience and a space for the short.
This was wonderful; I’m surprised you have under 200 subscribers, while watching it felt like you were a high production, bigger channel I see massive growth coming your way! Excellent work
Great essay! It’s got my wheels turning for sure. If movies are an art form sculpted in time, how do you sculpt something meaningful with less time to work with? This will dominate my shower thoughts for a while.
Brilliant video mate! Very important for this metamodern age to fully Embrace social media storytelling. But I loooved the slow cinema section. Some movies there I haven’t seen! And I didn’t know that’s what Paul Shrader was all about. Have you watched The Curse yet??!! Omg. Greetings from Australia. Make more slow cinema videos!!
Thanks mate! I really appreciate your comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, particularly the slow cinema part - I was initially unsure about adding it! :) I haven't seen The Curse yet, but it definitely seems to be a non-conventional show that ventures into uncharted territories of cinema language. Cheers!
@@lofi.cinema it’s fully transcendental!! At times hard to watch - as is the point - but so worth dedicating the time to it. Just don’t anything about the finale before you watch.
Notice how we have gone from quick flickbook animation novelty sideshow to Ben Hur big screen submissive viewing then to small screen interactive. Hierarchy of craft is disappearing as is meaning. Into cinema verite meets theatre of cruelty by Artaud and the futurists
@@lofi.cinemayours too my friend ! I have just added your channel to my channel list at the bottom. Hopefully it makes a difference, even if it’s minute haha ❤
Fantastic essay and thesis on different forms of storytelling! I’m not entirely sure I think the piece lands on a coherence of it point on how these elements blend into the new medium… but in some ways that is the point, and I absolutely feel we are on the verge of a new medium being born that incorporates cinema with content. I think someone like a Megan Tan or the myriad of young content creators (mostly women exploding in popularity even though there are other genders developing this style) are starting to scratch the surface. Personally I think they are still blogging “cinematically” and this is still a precursor to what is to come. Anyway great videos and would be interested in hearing your take on the new way of cinematic bloggers.
You're spot on with your observation. I've started to unravel how these elements might come together in a new medium, yet the full extent of their integration into micro short-form storytelling remains an open question. It's precisely what I'm exploring in my work, such as with my little experimental movie "Silent Room," although, as you rightly noted, we're just beginning to scratch the surface. The trend of cinematic blogging is an interesting evolving medium and plan to dive into exploration of cinematic blogging in a future video. This all ties back to democratizing cinema. My next video will look at AI's impact on breathing new life into how we tell stories. Thanks for sparking this discussion!🙂
Yeah, La Haine isn't fully transcendental, but it shares some traits, like those moments where you're just with the characters as they hang around, doing little... It creates a sense of 'boredom' that actually engages you more, making it feel like you're spending time with friends. It's somewhat like 'Dazed and Confused' in that way :)
IMO popomo>metamodern. metamodern is a subset of popomo, but metamodern is too literal and assumes there is a way or place past postmodernism. I and many others disagree with that assumption.
I want to get lost in a world and story, and you simply aren't lost in a story if you're going from story to story every couple minutes which is the biggest downside imo. I like short stuff sometimes, but tiktok makes me mad dude. Even if something is meaningful it's gonna be over so soon and ur gonna be watching someone drop cakes off a roof or some such nonsense
Super glad I found this channel. Awesome work
ABSOLUTE GOLD, I will be subscribed till the end of time!

While not entirely a transcendental film, I really enjoy La Haine.
Have you seen that movie? What are your thoughts
Yeah, La Haine isn't fully transcendental, but it shares some traits, like those moments where you're just with the characters as they hang around, doing little... It creates a sense of 'boredom' that actually engages you more, making it feel like you're spending time with friends. It's somewhat like 'Dazed and Confused' in that way :)
what is the ai you use for the narration it’s insane
Great

10:03 from which movie or tv show that scene is from? Btw great video
The Postman's White Nights (2014)
Thanks man this scene reminded me of a very similar scene from shoah
"great"

Don’t condone AI.
No, it can’t. Next.
You stole my joke a year before I thought of it
