      Wonderful idea and great video. I still have my Panasonic NV-GS400 MiniDV camcorder which at the time was a great model that was top of its range, but now even the most basic phone camera surpasses it in terms of clarity of picture. Nevertheless, those old MiniDV cameras were made with some great features and physical construction and also have a really unique quality to the video that brings a nostalgic feel, as demonstrated by your film here! Hope you feel better after the booster and best wishes for 2022!

    My DV camcorder (Canon Optura XI) and some others from the same era (around 2002ish) have a built in anamorphic scruncher. When I used to import the content into iMovie or Final Cut, it would automatically realize it's anamorphic, and show it as widescreen.

    I just happened to have an old mini DV JVC camcorder I bought back in 2003 when I was in college. Shot a lot of great stuff on it and after seeing this I kind of wish I still had the camcorder. That anamorphic lens really gave the footage a great look. There's just something about the old sensors that gave footage a harder look compared to today's cameras.
