Exactly a year ago, I started participating in “a week in a minute” video challenge. You are meant to shoot footage (nearly) every day and edit a minute-long video out of each week’s material. I did 11 episodes between 6th of April and 4th of July.

Film One Roll, One Camera January 26, 2018January 27, 2018 by Miika

Canon Epoca, known also as Canon Photura and Canon Autoboy Jet, is an odd film camera from the 90s. The camera resembles a video camcorder and is in no way a discreet camera. But even despite its ugliness, it has a solid build quality and I liked the experience and pictures I got with it.
