That's pretty neat. Reminds me that 20 years ago my dad used an electro-mechanical Smith-Corona typewriter from the '80s to type reports a few times a year that would be 15-20 pages long. Every time he'd make a mistake he'd run upstairs to get that "eraser card" then carefully type over the mistake in the same letters (in white ink I suppose). I would fall asleep to that loud "clack clack clack clack" sound, until my mother convinced him to get a computer with Microsoft Word 2000. He tried to treat the computer as a typewriter, and it was hard to explain to him the concept of formatting -- hyphenation, indentation, ordered lists, etc. That you don't just hold down the spacebar to get to a different spot on the page. Anyway, old times... I noticed that your use of 4:3 "standard" ratio video is less common in today's widescreen video environment. Is that a stylistic philosophy or technical preference of yours? I never really jumped on the widescreen bandwagon either. Just more pixels, more bytes, and larger files I thought.
More happenstance than anything... 4:3 is just the ratio of the camera that I generally use. It's a Canon Powershot from around 2010 or so, back when 4:3 was a much more common aspect ratio. That said, each of my side monitors are also 4:3 ratio (the main one is widescreen).
that’s nice type writer man 👍
