Re: Analogue days, before the arrival of industrial video screens

I remember in 3rd grade, guess I was 8 or 9 years old, I was the "TV Monitor" - really, that's what they called it! I had to go down to the office, get the TV set, roll it down to the classroom and...

Re: Analogue days, before the arrival of industrial video screens

Cool stuff, thanks for posting. I didn't want to get into it before, but I had extensive experience working with 35mm slide projections in theatrical productions. The first I recall would have been...

Re: 2026 Artemis 11 Contunued.

Just saw an ad for this, didn't realize it was coming. Leave it to Spielberg to cash in on anything related to aliens! :)

Re: Audio for nature videos

That's pretty cool. Back in the mid 1980's, we had a slide projector with a built-in cassette deck. The audio was recorded on one track and the other track had some kind of clicks or tones that...

Never met Miss America, but Miss Ocean County New Jersey was my room mate back in 1973! As for Hollywood, my ex-wife was from California and had an "interesting" family; her uncle was Robert Blake...

Re: 2026 Artemis 11 Contunued.

Yes, I'm familiar with that incident and a similar one from 1994

Re: 2026 Artemis 11 Contunued.

You don't think I'm serious? Eisenhower's own granddaughter Laura is the chief proponent of that theory. And I also saw it on "Ancient Aliens", an authoritative source that is beyond question.

Re: 2026 Artemis 11 Contunued.

Chinese settlement on the moon? Exactly what is that? Sounds like a clear violation of the treaty that President Eisenhower signed with the Grey Aliens in 1954.

Re: 2026 Artemis 11 Contunued.

Aren't you confused here? I mean, of course it's all Kubrick's fault, but only because we never actually went to the moon and he was hired to make the fake videos and film. Haven't you seen "Room...

Re: Viewing XDCAM files on a iMac?

A bit confused... you are posting in the XDCAM-EX forum, is that a mistake? I've had an XDCAM EX1 since around 2009 and it's been supported by Final Cut Pro for as long as I can remember. Haven't...

Re: Goodbye to the Oscars.

Yeah Doug, those are good points. But I just don't "watch" video much anymore (sit down and actually watch for entertainment, as opposed to just having it run while I do other things). After posting...

Re: Goodbye to the Oscars.

I only remember watching the Oscars once in the past 20 years. I was visiting my friend in Athens and had just stepped off the plane that same day in 2014. It was also some kind of carnival day and...

Re: Camp Snap CS8 retro Super 8 camera

Portraying the lack of a screen as "gloriously distraction-free" is hilarious. I mean, I see the point but I was there back in those days and have never wanted to return. I remember getting a VX-2000...
