How Many NOLLYWOOD Movies Have Been Shot on Canon?

How many Nollywood movies have been shot on Canon?

This is a very important question both for Nollywood and Canon.

Knowing how many people are using your products is critical to the growth of your company in Research and Development (R&D); Marketing and Sales Analysis of the products and services.

Nollywood is the largest film industry in Africa in the productions of movies and should be the largest market for cameras for both cinematography and photography. 

The Nigerian Film Corporation (NFC), Directors Guild of Nigeria (DGN) , Producers Guild of Nigeria (PGN) and Cinematographers Guild of Nigeria (CGN) or Association of Cinematographers in Nigeria (ACN) should know and have the data on the cameras and accessories used for film and TV productions in the Nigerian film industry.

These facts are included in the indices for the development and growth of the film industry.

What are models and specifications of the Canon cameras used for film and TV productions in the Nigerian film industry?

When did Canon cameras become the most popular cameras in the Nigerian film industry?

Does Canon know the film and TV productions shot with Canon cameras?

The most popular and the best Canon cameras used in Nollywood and Kannywood?

The best movies, documentaries and music videos shot on Canon?

By the way, the third part of my on going documentary film, "Lagos in Motion" was shot on Canon.

New Nigeria on Pinterest Attracting Thousands of New Viewers

New Nigeria on Pinterest

www.pinterest.com/nigeriansreport

From 240, 000 viewers monthly last month to 270, 000 viewers in October.
This is significant progress by having 30, 000 new viewers.

New Nigeria has great content curated by me

Getting premium content has never been my headache, but majority of people and companies pay lip service in their bragging rights for premium content, but they don't want to pay for it.
Premium content does not come cheap.
The best content will always cost more.

From movies and TV series to documentaries, I have premium content from every region in the world available for acquisition and distribution.

There is No Scarcity of Content

"There is no scarcity of content.

But there is scarcity of content of premium quality."

- EKENYERENGOZI Michael Chima.

Thousands of movies, series, documentaries, music videos and shows are produced every day. And majority are offered free to view online and offline. But millions of people are still willing to pay for the subscriptions to watch the best content for their entertainment 24/7.

What is the secret of the success of ABC, Disney, HBO, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and other top content producers and distributors in the world?

UNiQUE CONTENT!

We are always anxious and curious to see what is unique and exciting.

Excitement is the joy of Entertainment.

Any content that does not excite us cannot attract us.
