1 Second Everyday - Cesar Kuriyama
‘1 Second Everyday is a video journal that makes it easy for people around the world to create meaningful movies that include every day of their lives.
It all started in 2011, when video and VFX artist Cesar Kuriyama decided to take a year off from work to spend more time with family and friends and see the country on a 95-day road trip. To document the year, Cesar began recording short snippets of video every day, which he compiled into a six-minute video to encapsulate that entire year of his life.’
Self-filming: from Video Diaries to Mobile Journalism
Origins of Self-filming: Video diaries of Nelson Sullivan
‘Mobile Journalism has introduced a specific audiovisual language with self-filming as the main characteristic element.
If self-filming is fully associated with the Mojo movement and the era of social media, especially with the selfie in photography, this method of filming has already seen its appearance in the form of video diaries and vlogs.
This new culture of “Picture of Self” and communication with others has been able to flourish for some three decades.’

Detour (2017) - Directed by Michel Gondry
‘Michael Gondry, the Oscar-winning French director and screenwriter whose films include "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," has shot a short film for Apple entirely on the iPhone 7 Plus, and it's utterly magical.
"Detour," which is running on Apple's homepage in the U.K., is the story of a child's tricycle that becomes separated from its young owner shortly after the family set off on vacation in their camper van. There begins a journey in which it follows the family along highways and backroads down to the South of France, having many adventures on the way.
That story would be charming in itself, but Gondry uses the opportunity to pay playful homage to classics of French cinema, like Jaques Tati and Albert Lamorisse, as well as show off the many features of the iPhone. He plays with with perspective, animation, underwater filming, time-lapse and slo-mo -- and you can find out more about how it was made in a set of accompanying online masterclasses, (These links seem to have expired?) "Through the eye of Michel Gondry" that demonstrates some of Gondry's preferred filmmaking technique’ https://adage.com/creativity/work/detour/52158

‘The coronavirus outbreak didn’t decimate my family’s hometown, Guangzhou, China — at least not the way it did in Wuhan, the epidemic’s epicenter, more than 500 miles away.
But when I visited my parents from New York for Chinese New Year, we quarantined ourselves anyway, as the government advised. I documented our experience in the film above, shot entirely on my iPhone.’
