My 70's Vlog - vlogging on an 8mm film camera
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2018
- Using my Dad’s 8mm film camera, I set out to explore whether it would have been possible to vlog in the 1970’s.
Film made by Paul Allen
Behind the scenes and back-up sound: Marek Larwood
Titles and Credits: Claire Speight
Music: Thomas Harvey, Barbarella’s Bang Bang & Paul Allen.
Official Selection: FilmBath / Palena Film Festival / Making Waves Film Festival 2018.
As a 60 year old today, I'd say that the tape recording sounds like what we used to think was great back then.
Nah. Tape can easily sound fantastic. Shitty mic and shitty recorder.
someone wanna tell me why this video doesn’t have 1 million views by now? this was absolutely bloody brilliant
I think the same :( , this video deserve more
Seriously
This video will get the recognition it deserves! Time is our friend :)
Amen, Brother. It's incredible work and thought.
Bloody? Yikes that sounds violent!
In the 80s it became more easy to vlog yourself but even then it was weird. Nelson sulivan who vlogged from 83 to 89 would always be asked "why are you filming yourself?" Its crazy to sew how far we have come really
But where would he post his vlogs?
80's had a vlogs, it just called "hey mate, can you film me for the family's archive?"
@@TheJaminator128 on the family tv lol
@@TheJaminator128Before Nelson died, he wanted to put the vlogs on TV.
@@TheJaminator128 I'm sure there would be local cinema / camera groups. Small audience for sure, but more than just the vlogger himself.
5:47 - Thatg shoot with your dad is so beautiful. Definition of priceless moment, saved in time. Dad just loving his son. Definition of meaning of life. I fucking cried so much seeing how you guys posed and had such a cool relation.
ahh man your comment's making me tear up. I have 5 and 7 year old girls, and I really need to capture more of their early lives
loved this part too, i'm missing my dad at the moment while watching this
They absolutely could have vlogged in the 1970s, but reading the comments on the vlog would've required two teletypes and a cap'n crunch whistle.
Ironically, that was one of the most original things I’ve seen on RUclips all year. ❤
How do you only have 150 subscribers? This is professionally edited, recorded, and published.
Nice one. The sound guy is really fit, a proper macho man.
It's a real distraction
And a compulsive liar, too.
This video is very badly underrated! Guys, it deserves at least a million views! Please make it popular and share with your friends!
in the 70s it was actually possible to record sound directly onto the film, as some film stocks had magnetic strips for audio. However sadly nobody makes these films anymore and no one currently processes them.
optical sound on film was a thing forever and can be done with the right camera with normal film
This guy, instead of changing the lens, he just builds an extending arm, brilliant.
There’s something about the old grainy look of 8mm film that makes everything appear much more cinematic. I saw footage that was taken the other day on a flightline of US Air Force pilots scrambling current day bomber aircraft that for some reason was taken with an 8mm camera. Much more intense and the plumes of smoke from the back of the planes firing. It full throttle reminded me of Vietnam war footage. Made it somehow seem aged and yet, it was filmed last month.
Man I absolutely LOVE the end credits song. Wish there was a full version of since its such a positive vibe to end this piece of art you created.
seconded! love the sound of it
Brilliant video, it’s crazy to think what it would’ve been like if home videos of the 60s-80s would’ve been like if shot with more modern equipment.
Brilliant.
I’m amazed there are only 88k views on this Dec 1 2023. Here’s to a million more!
This is gonna blow up in half a decade.
As someone who vlogs with modern cameras, I really appreciate the effort you put in to demonstrate how far tech has come 🙂 very interesting 👍
I am not sure if someone pointed this out, but Kodak was making Sound Super-8 film up until the 1990s, and Super-8 home movies could absolutely have synched sound. Sharing was done by way of using a projector, some would project and read the soundtrack on the film as well. There were also cameras with macro lenses that you could have just hand held and been in focus. I admire the efforts you have put into place to make this vlog - probably the only vlog I've ever watched because I am not fond of the way digital images look, and would definitely watch more user generated content if it was shot on film - for what it's worth, the process you followed is as interesting as the result and a big part of it.
The dedication on this is absolutely incredible. Thank you for making this!
This is so beautiful. Amazing job
Lovely video, Paul. Nice idea using your Dads old camera and happy to find the story here...years after you shot the scenes !
Absolutely incredible
What a brilliant little idea for a short film. Very well done!
this was so beautiful watching your vlog shot on the 8mm camera made me feel like i was in 70's , please do make more of these
What an intriguing and unique video, it made me happy just watching it - I had a smile on my face the whole way through! Thanks so much!
woooooow, that's one of the best video ive ever seen, great job!!!! I loved it!!!!!!
Brilliant! One of the best things I've seen on YT. Great work! Cheers
this is EXCELLENT!
WE didn't change, technology did.
I somehow I agree with your comment.
People are a lot dumber now.. they're insulated from books by an endless web of around the clock entertainment (and their heads are empty -- ask anyone on the street to name the three branches of government).
I agree but I’d say people do change too with cultural evolution.
Outstanding!❤🎉😊
beautiful video!! the whole vibe, information and the fun. everything was great
This video is greatly under appreciated. Great work, please keep doing things like this
I love this video! What a great concept :) The aesthetics of the rough grain of the 8mm plus the speed variations, frequency cut-offs and low dynamic range of the tape recorder are just gorgeous. There is just so much "mechanical soul" in the vlog. kudos!
RUclips algorithm randomly pushed this to me. Amazing video man! Love your storytelling voice and the way it came through
This is insanely well made
Thank you Paul, very cool!
freaking incredible
I very much enjoyed this. Thank you!!! I was making VLOGS in the late 80s with my camcorder as a teenager. I had no idea what I was doing, but that's what I was doing. They are hilarious.
Such an awesome video!
This is awesome!!
What great video. Love the reflection about technology at the end of the video
this was beautiful
Just seeing this now! What a cool project! This looked so fun to make.
This was brilliant
This was so great
you sir, are brilliant.
This is fantastic. I have no way of explaining why this doesn't have more views and why you have only 219 subscribers. You have my sub, Paul. Very good job with this!
That was pretty good mate. Nice work!
Great to see how you coped with the limitations.
Wow! Glad this was recommended to me. Excellent video amigo !!

This was so cool, absolutely brilliantly done🙌
Beautiful grainy uncomplicated analog film...love it
Love it!
That was so awesome! I love crazy ideas like this.
This is phenomenal omg!!
I cannot believe I had never seen this before! Thanks RUclips for recommending it to me just now, such an incredible idea and video! Huge effort put into it, but definitely worth it! Incredible!
how has youtube just shown me this. this is insanely great
This just got into my recommended. What an amazing idea! Hopeful that me getting this recommended is a sign it might be in the algorithm and will get the recognition it deserves
Brilliant, keep up the videos!
This is effing great! I hope it blows up big time. So forward thinking of the 8mm manufacturers to feature a notch for modern phones too ;)
love this
OMG, this is so gold! I wonder if you have keep creating content like, this up to this day!
Your channel would have blow up for sure !
You’re dedicated bro. Keep hustling
AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing video my friend i always thought that the 70's was amazing
With the amount of effort put in this video, i hope this channel and video blows up!
The RUclips algorithm is a finnicky fellow. 4 years? This should have at least 5M views by now. Truly excellent!
-Johnny
This is a great concept for a video.
amazing!
This is so cool!!
This is so cool 😎
It’s truly a shame it hasn’t broken 100k in 2022 :(
Excellent work
great doc 🥰
This was very cool! I'm pleasure by this conceptual exploration. brvao!
Incredible video and concept!
god I remember using these lol it was quite fun waiting for the film to be sent back to see what you filmed then loading it into the projector
4:30 I love how the people are walking by are looking but at the same time like yeah so.
great storytelling and concept :)
What a fantastic amount of work put into such a needless and absurd pursuit. The outcome was as expected.
This was amazing! Thanks for sharing and it makes you think about what we don’t even know we’re missing yet, like how in the 70’s, vlogging and sharing online wasn’t even a concept… just think about what we’ll be able to do 50 years from now! Who knows!
What???? This is amazing!!!
Very cool. I wondered about the feasibility of vlogging on analog equipment the other day. You told me exactly what I was curious about! Cheers mate!
Incredible video. Loved seeing what it took to make and how it relates to the evolution of content creation
Super cool idea !
this is amazing !!
Loved this!
THIS video deserves way more views. So underrated.
This is too dope!
