    In the 70s, at least the later part, film wouldn't have been the only option, handheld video cameras with a separate portable vcr were a thing, they cost quite a bit though. Before vcrs there were open reel tapes, and some that were battery powered, but they were very bulky, weighing over 20lb so slinging it over your shoulder would get tiring fast.

    Very awesome that you went for the 1970s recording device. What brand was it btw and did you also use an older mic? I am looking to get some audio equipment for an old 8mm myself.

    Outstanding Video, Sir! Your video is about what most of us age 63 (myself) or older already understood. The only way to "hear" what was said on my parents old Super 8 films would be to hire a lip reader. During the 1960's filming Super 8 film with no sound, I spent most of the time just dancing around & smiling....with no audio PLUS that huge blinding, unending flash machine shining on you while you filmed. On my parents NYC wedding day in 1958, the film shows my Mom post-wedding, serving my father his first "post-wedding meal" with Big Smiles. On the film seated at the kitchen table, he takes one bite of food, stood up & fell to the floor pretending to die from poison, while my Mom feverishly waved a white cloth hanky over his head on the floor in her effort to "revive him". Super 8 films made all of us behave like "Mimes"....if we wanted to make a clever film.

    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.

    Portable consumer videotape cameras have been available since 1965 and the vlogs could be broadcasted on public access tv so theoretically it could’ve been even easier than this video Also in the 80’s Nelson Sullivan recorded his life in New York and broadcasted it on public access television much like a vlog

    Might have saved yourself a bunch of metalwork and some arm strength workouts by finding a set of 1970s closeup filters and an adapter ring. But you made it work! You definitely got some strange looks from the passersby at the beach! Good job, from a 70s/ 80s kid.

    Hi, is there any similar alternative to Super-8 that is not so terribly expensive for hobbyists (film material, development, digitization)? What I like about it is the authentic analog film look. It doesn't have to be so grainy or pastel-colored. But also not as home video-like as VHS.

    There was a version of 8mm film with magnetic sound which would have alleviated the sync problem. And editing was done with scissors and special adhesive tape. No effects possible, but hard cuts could be done. The cost and distribution problems remain, even though a 3 minute spool was a bit more affordable than 70 quid.
