If his video looks like a fever dream, it's maybe because I did the editing just after getting my booster shot of the vaccine and I actually have a very high fever...
it feels very dreamy, but also brings a special vibe in this video. Thank you
Prompt retablissement!
I hope this time the vaccine will help.
Maybe we all need a 4th one, like people in Israel?
@@ookiemand until they will release a one year lasting vaccine, we ll not get rid of Covid 19 because every 3-4 months ppl will be have a chance to get it…. Unless they respect all health measures
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!
It actually looks kinda cool in a weird nostalgic way 😂
You have me thinking about why we may feel nostalgic seeing old tech.
A new person would not feel the same way because they don't know of those older happier times.
@@ookiemand there's going to be so many people that are born after this era that just look at this footage and think: "well... that looks like pure shit" xD Funny how those things work right?
I'm not so sure, I'm a young teen and I think this footage looks really cool as well 👍
Also, unlike the majority of cameras these days (smartphones) this lens has optical zoom
I agree with @@racecardriverrr4201 . I'm 24 and a sucker for MiniDV eras.
The skate scene still resolves heavily around the Sony VX1000.
Man... I've been trying to get this old sony camcorder running for weeks for exactly this purpose. I never imagined anyone would beat me to the punch, largely because I figured everyone else would think this idea is too stupid to try, but you know what? It looks exactly as good as I hoped it would. Excellent work Mathieu, thank you for making this!
Nothing is stupid to try. You should put up a video too.
Hopefully you were able to get your camcorder working to test this concept yourself!
The way to make 2022 look vintage! Thanks for the video - and thanks for keeping under five minutes. It's the number one reason why I clicked on it. Too many creators stretch a five minute video into 18. Thanks for keeping it succinct!
Right?! I rarely can tolerate anything over10-12 minutes myself!
This is why I love this channel, you do such cool things with cameras and lenses. Love the videos!!
Thanks a lot Max !
@@MathieuStern hey Mathieu beautiful video as always! Can you pls share here the link for the anamorphic adapter and the all handle gear you use in the video?
@@baloup571 there is no linj because it's all vintage, you can look for a kowa 16h adapter on ebay, but I don't have a specific link.
@@MathieuStern ohh i understand, and what model in specific u use of kowa 16h adapter? I’m totally new to these adapter
What was the anamorphic lens used?
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 LOVE this so much!
I knew you would love this !
This was state of the art technology back in the day. I had a similar panasonic camcorder which I brought for my US trip. Great experiment and wonderful results! Its got a very old video vintage look!
I love this format ✨ it gives the images a warm family vibe :) thanks for this video, now I want to try it.
This is everything I wanted but didn’t know I needed.
Mathieu, you brought back some memories! In 2008 when I was in high school, we went on a school trip to Paris to some of the exact places you showed in these clips. And seeing those places in the same low fidelity video that I recorded back then brought back all sorts of memories. 😊
At first i asked myself why. But then i remembered that's why I subscribe to your awesome channel. Its a cool look. Started my video career on Mini DV SD. I do not miss it. But those tape deck motor noises sure gave me nostalgia.
yep, it looks horrible but thats also the kind of look we can't get anymore
@@MathieuStern it looks like a video camera in a movie. When you see something that's been recorded by a character in a film.
when i was in art school they had us working on these ancient mini DV systems. mind you this was during the 5D DSLR filmmaking revolution so every other student owned a personal 5D mark ii except me xD but the school was especially cheaped out for having us work on such ancient relics
I love the vibes this camcorder gives!
It’s pretty surreal to see camcorder footage in true anamorphic, not just black bars cut from the top and bottom. Pretty sick aesthetic honestly.
Glad you found a cool DV camera! Nice results man, I love the lens you used there, you got some really interesting bokeh. I loooove filming on my Hi8. Cheers, happy new year man
You are the real inspiration here !
I got one of these old camcorders, mine is fully digital, it records on it's own hard drive. And I love it just for that nostalgic vibe.
I really like the affect this combination gives you Mathieu, It looks similar look to early to mid 1970's films.
Love it! I found one in my house like a month ago and started using it to film tuner cars
Wow. This is so beautiful. Changed the look of the whole world. Amazing. Takes me back in time.
Very nice idea and a good display of what old tech and new creativity can do together. Please have another video in future in which you add stabilization: I expect the result to be even more striking, especially if you reveal your setup only at the end 😄
In 2019 I was in Paris, shooting film. We talked about maybe doing an episode on film. It didn't happen in the end but I was happy to see how with time you came closer to the analog way, man. And always in a refreshing approach and exploration. Genial! 😊
I love this! It looks like so much fun
Love this rig!
Brought back lots of memories. Thanks! I love the camcorder look.
I NEED THIS! YES! I started using MiniDV and Hi8 video cameras and I NEED THIS SO BADLY! THANK YOU!
You're right, you can't beat the real thing!
Mathieu is the real thing!
As soon as it went to the other ratio, it immediately was ten times cooler. Thanks for another thought provoking video Mathieu.
exceptional video as always, keep it up Mathieu
This is so cool! I know it doesn't look "good" but it's neat! I have an Iscorama anamorphic projector lens and an old camera not dissimilar to that one. I might try this!
Throwback vibes!!! Love it
Damn that are some vibes right there!
What a neat idea!!
Looks very cool Mathieu! Big fan of your channel. I've only recently gotten my first camera. Because of your video about the Edixa Reflex I bought one and have since then made a little trip with it, also visiting Paris. Recognizing a lot of locations! I'm waiting for my scans now, curious to see the results. Thank you for the inspiration :)
The best old school video or camera in modern day video; I have seen. I have 2 Mini DV camcorders. A 3 chip Panasonic I purchased back in the day; and a new old consumer One I purchased for $29. Your video shows you could still make a short film or UA-cam video on one. You’ve inspired me to make a project.
I love how this looks
That footage actually looks pretty good!
Hii,
Didn't you have any problems with exporting the videos in the computer?
I tried but it doesn't work after finding specific drivers for data reading.
I love these kinds of ideas!!!
This looks great!
Watching this makes me feel like I've travelled back in time! 👍
Having the device always be the best rather than apps. Kudos ❤️
Tickles my brain because the content is current but the medium is two decades old. Love it.
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.
I would swear this was shot in the 80's. good job
Amazing idea! Supercool.
Thank you! 😊
This looks so dope
love it !!
I enjoyed this very much ! building a rig now but with a much newer DSLR based camera body and a giant long throw lens from a obsolete video projector
what is the piece of kit that is suspending the lens in front of the camera called? i wanna try this with my old Nikon P7100
Hey this is amazing! I want to do something similar with my Super 8mm camera. Which anamorphic lens are you using??
The resolution may not satisfy the current consumer but the quality is still there and with the anamorphic lens and spending time with the editing, it may compete many recent devices. Love the video btw ❤️ thank you 🙏.
2:33 When filming the footage, it appears that there is a lens visible outside of the frame. Did you zoom in to avoid showing the lens angle, or did you edit it in post-production?
Wow this camera makes everything look like it is the 1990's
Pretty cool video
Brilliant, I was just shoot with one of these over Christmas!
man, this is so cool!
With the BGM, new video gets 80's and early 90's feeling ( so is it's resolution)
Loved it so much dude, subbed in a sec
This is so dope!!
Do you know how i can put a wide angle lens to my sony mini dcr pc100?
That looks pretty damn cool.
Great idea! What anamorphic adapter did you use? I’d love to do similar tests with my old camera.
Love!
Very Helpful thank you For sharing this !
Another really cool post -- didn't realize you had a Patreon until today. Happy to chip in! Keep making good stuff!!!
Thanks for your help Bryan ! Much appreciated!
This is awesome and inspiring.
It looks so cool anamorphic!
Gorgeous :)
I orderd a sony xperia 1 iii used im wondering how good photos and videos it takes
I love this so much
This was so entertaining
You’re a freakin genious mate...
Wow. It looks cool.
I still have my JVC mini DV camcorder from 2000. Bit bigger than this one, but otherwise basically the same! Now I’m inspired to dig it out and play with it. ☺️ Thanks for sharing your footage! 🐈
Beautiful
super cool!
Does anyone know the equipment used on the actual camcorder setup? I wanna know soo bad
Can we transfer footage shot on a camcorder to 35 mm film. How did Abbas Kiarostami and Lars Von Trier did it in their films?
Ha! I just converted all our old mini dv tapes to digital and sold a very similar camera afterwards. Good times! great video Mathieu!
@@kostasb3570 mine was already starting to break and I sold it as broken parts. These are very finicky
@@kostasb3570 Where I live MiniDV (and other tape based) camcorders have been expensive for years already
how i can import the footage with cable ? thank you
This is great - I love the anamorphic look with the retro camcorder - what lens adapter did you use?
I've got a similar era MiniDV camcorder, but unfortunately the tape mechanism has kinda crapped out. The only way I've found to record video with it is to have it connected to my old PowerBook over Firewire and recording in real time, bypassing the tape. Not exactly super convenient for on the go shooting.
THIS IS SUPER COOL, MIGHT TRY THIS AT HOME
Yes! Mini DV video!!
Gave me Goosebumps
This was my first camera. I made my first movies with it. It has a very distrinctive video look. Thete is a clear lack of details with anamorphic though ^^ My following camera was HD and 16/9 ratio but still on tape.
this is a cool and unique idea!!
Saw the thumbnail and immediately clicked
I see we have some royalties visiting our humble channel !
Uhhh this is the coolest thing ever
amazing how much video quality has grown.
amazing!!
Amazing
Love this! Very unique rig :)
Glad you like it Sean ! It's really something you could do on your channel too :)
That Camcorder reminds me of Christmas when I was a child happy memories.
Wait which adapter you used ? How you made it work
Woow 😵💜❤️
Awesome concept man. The footage has a great look to it.
What was the bracket you used to hold the Kowa lens, please?
J'avais (enfin, mes parents) le même caméscope à l'époque. Qu'est ce que j'ai pu m'amuser avec !
nice video! do you mind telling what or what kind of anamorphic adapter that is you used? thanks!
Awesome!!
Thanks!
