    Solid quality video and fact about the Super 8. I referenced your “service” video in a lesson I taught at church. It helped create good discussion on that subject. Enjoy the videos as always.

    Aaaahhhh wow. This just blew my mind. The idea that Super 8 was physically present at the time of shooting and later viewing is complex and nuanced. There is a deeper physical connection to the film itself than only the abstract mental memory triggered by viewing a video recorded on a digital media. Also, the film cannot filtered or edited after the fact, it is what it is.

    For anyone else inspired to make one of these like myself, Fisher Price is still making the viewer and carts. 30 bucks CAD at Walmart for the viewer and two cartridges. Happy modifying!

    You are the only RUclipsr that does this kind of Content and i would watch it anyways hhaa. Super fun video and just the fact that the clock was there on most timelapses shots gives another perspective and sense of timeline that i wouldn't have gotten if it wasn't there! Amazing film! :).

    Fisher-Price hosts an event every year to paint all the fire hydrants in East Aurora, NY to look like toys. So many hidden gems from this playful company.

    I kinda wish I didn't watch this video because I thought the movie viewers were "built" from scratch (I didn't know they were a Fisher Price toy) and was suitably impressed. But having looked them up on eBay now and see a bunch selling for under $10, it makes total sense to me to buy those and modify as you did to save time and money. But the idea to use them as part of a marketing tool is pure genius and the insight at 3:16 got me over this initial disappointment and sort of blew my mind. And Mr. Sachs was right, the videos you make and the stories you tell through them are your superpower.

    I had that same Movie Viewer as a youngster and it survived me and then my two sisters. I think it was passed on to younger cousins eventually with a whole box-full of the movies. My favorite as a kid was a movie with Donald and Goofy going camping, and the road to the top of the mountain was very rough, so all the food and gear was thrown all over the camper (which came unhooked from the truck!) with Donald inside. I used to like to watch it, and then reverse it and see all the things fly back into their containers and back up unto the shelf. So cool to see this get a second life in a very profound way.

    The Braun clock...everyone I know who has a certain design aesthetic has that clock. I wish I still had mine that I got back in the 90s, I don't remember what happened to it and is one thing I wish I still had. Thankfully they are still made and in various styles. Everyone I knew back then who had this specific clock was a tremendous influence in my life.
