- 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.
someone wanna tell me why this video doesn’t have 1 million views by now? this was absolutely bloody brilliant
As a 60 year old today, I'd say that the tape recording sounds like what we used to think was great back then.
WE didn't change, technology did.
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.
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
Even if your Dad's 8mm camera was a sound one, you cannot get 8mm sound film anymore.😊
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.
You’re dedicated bro. Keep hustling
Nice one. The sound guy is really fit, a proper macho man.
That was impressive and I had no idea that you would still be able to get film for the camera and as for the cast of each cartridge - ouch.

How do you only have 150 subscribers? This is professionally edited, recorded, and published.
Ironically, that was one of the most original things I’ve seen on UA-cam all year. ❤
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.
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.
This guy, instead of changing the lens, he just builds an extending arm, brilliant.
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.
This is gonna blow up in half a decade.
