"a trick to make one more introspective and aware of one's own life"

Meditating is one of the most introspective activities, but might not make the best film. If people make a 1 second film for themselves then I think this could have a really positive impact.

If instead people make films for others then this might not be very positive because you are living out entertainment for someone else.

Instead of focusing on the tool we're using, the specific path we're following, look at the job for which you chose the tool, the destination toward which you're moving.

Introspection is a very useful way of analyzing the patterns our thoughts and actions take. Some people like to think while driving, others find ocean waves to clear their mind. For some it's their children, or a jazz song. Don't begrudge others for how they get there, just be happy you've both arrived.
