"An entertaining film, rather than a catalog of family history" - nothing changes. The advice for creating shots is as valid today as it was then, only the technology has changed. You could make engaging movies with your mobile phone now, if you follow the avice in the beginning of this film.
Yes that MacDonald Cary. The young actor making the film was on the Brady Bunch as Harvey Klinger the insect obsessed nerd that Marcia was in love with.
The camera the young man in this film is actually using a Bauer C Royal. A very pricy $500+ camera when it was new in 1969. I assumed by 1973 he got it used and hundreds of dollars less.
"Yes Sir, 1 Super 8 Camera ... , 1 video editing suite, 1 analog audio studio, film, magnetic tape, and processing,... that comes out to $9,638 and 27 cents. Will that be cash or cash?"
This is real filmmaking right here. Tape is great for video, but modern digital is the tool of amateurs who have nothing to say, just distractions from life.
I grew up with and prefer the aesthetics of movies shot on film and projected on film. It’s a look I am used to from viewing countless film prints during the ‘80s-‘00s, and working in a projection booth. Out of the hundreds of indie and major studio feature films being released in 2023, something like 19 were either completely or partially captured on film. For better or worse, digital long ago usurped film as a professional production and theatrical projection medium. At this point, suggesting digital is a “tool of amateurs” is just silly.

Most enjoyable...thank you
A lot of little points I never knew as a silent Super-8 user whose dad never went beyond a basic Argus. Serrated splices? Mag striper? Nice!
Narrated by MacDonald Cary, as in Days of Our Lives?

“Professional quality “. THIS VIDEO is no where near PROFESSIONAL QUALITY!
Especially compared to 16 or 35mm quality. Let's call it a promo film to boost 8mm sales. ;)
The actor playing the young filmmaker also played Harvey Klinger the insect obsessed nerd that Marcia Brady was in love with on The Brady Bunch.
Yes that is him
He's left handed so he's clearly very intelligent !!! His movie will be a masterpiece.
👍

Somebody doesn't know how to shop for materials and equipment correctly and it shows.
