VHS isn't bad, people's capture methods are bad. If you film something with a new tape and play it back directly on a tv you have a very clear image unless the camera is a cheap piece of crap. if the digitizing is done correctly you wont have any nostalgia
To quote The Blair Witch Project (1999) "I see why you like this video camera so much, It's not quite reality. It's like a totally filtered reality. It's like you can pretend everything's not quite the way it is.
That camcorder is the closest we'll ever get to a time machine. It legit makes everything and everyone look like they came from the 90s and early 2000s.
It’s more attributed to the fact that the quality of video cameras have gotten better. If I had my iPhone in the 90s and filmed a video, it wouldn’t turn out very different from a video from today.
@@panda1412. shut up lol 💀i wasn’t referring to being outside, the audio plus the camera being used made it magical/surreal. “get some help” like im mentally ill is also pretty disrespectful, grow up
I'll tell you a secret bro, try to film not a beautiful chick, with attractive movements but a moment of normal life and everything will seem disgustingly depressing as only the old VHS cameras could do. Christmas films, school plays, depressing Sundays filmed by bored parents of those years, are just some examples of a good 90% of the films made in those years on these supports. good life.
Nothing beats this feeling, it’s not nostalgic it’s just *facts* that film, movies and music just felt better even to this day, regardless of the generation that interacts with it 😊 My new gen kid loves bargain hunting DVDs in 2024 imagine that
Idk why bht whenever i look at such footage, with this vintage 90s look… EVERY MEMORY of old time internet and my childhood flashes and not just that… i even feel nostalgic about events that happened prior to my birth and many many many old things…
I have a Canon camcorder from like 2006-ish. It uses a weird format that’s kind of like VHS but much smaller and much better quality. We still have a bunch of the tapes with random family events on them.
It's so close in time, especially compared to something like Super8, but you know we're going to get further and further away from that moment in your childhood
Well, because it's a very low quality capture. Old video tape stored video in 525 lines, 480 of which are visible, at 60 fields per second. So old tapes, when captured properly can look pretty darn good.
You could probably get a few people together, electrical engineer and computer science guy, for example. Then reverse-engineer. You could find similar computer chips... the magnetic tape stuff, you would have to get maybe a CNC machinist... and maybe a chemist to make more tape polymers. It's all doable but there's no "economy of scale."
@@Siranoxzyeah that’s what I always think about a lot of people wouldn’t really appreciate it except for the cultured but I’m working on some thing I’m gonna try to learn about what was put into these cameras and try to remake them. Well, of course it would be digital. Don’t know if anybody really wants to make vhs tapes
@@MrCantStopTheRobot I didn’t even see your comment three months ago and I said the exact same thing well not the exact same thing but something like that as you can see😂 yeah that’s some thing I mean give the people what they want😂
this makes me wonder how big-budget sci-fi scenery- like crazily detailed flying cities, star wars destroyers-sized ships, varied alien races etc, would look through this camera/effect. our brain would be in conflict trying to make sense of what we were looking at i feel
Something about low fidelity video makes you appreciate how easy documenting your lives or literally anything has become, I think it's very romantic to limit your video and use everything besides high definition to tell a story or keep a memory
As a gen Z, i Wish I was born in 1990ish years. Also, I know it's weird because I have never experienced 1990-2000s' but watching these videos and seeing these times make me nostalgic. It's weird but it really makes me nostalgic
unrealistic. everyone would usually face away from the camera or blocking the camera view. camera shy was big back then. im jus being an a hole XD. great vid and camera.
I was born in 1985 and I've always felt nostalgic for everything 80's(my fav music era) ever since junior high...now looking at these modern clips through 1999 camcorder quality makes me feel nostalgic about MY ERA. 😂 weird.

I doubt any of the oldest videos my family has of myself will still be playable as of now. My other childhood videos, the ones recorded by me in the 2000s, might be in a better condition, then again, back then I would religiously watch my own videotapes again and again, so maybe the baby videos actually held up better. We always hid them somewhere I never thought to look.
@@quirkyblackenby yes, the problem it's not the internet, it's social media in particular, and how it shaped society. Even old generations are glued to facebook.
Remembering me at Sony TD repairing them. Most tape where vacation shot (mechanical failure due sand inside). Some very very private recordings, users screwed up the mechanism to get the tape out before it went to official service centre of Sony. Great time.
Old camera footage may have looked lesser in quality, but it has a very nostalgic atmosphere.
I'm feeling some type of way in my heart

You can see the difference between those from the 90's and those from the 2000's in how they act in front of a camera.
I will always inevitably do Mandela Catalogue re-enactments in front of any fake retro filter on a video editing app, FR.
😂 Now we need prices like 1999! And we throw a party and have a good time!
This actually looked like that year the people were dressed and there mannerisms were very chill pop rock vibe
This looks like footage of someone who died or smthn.
First girl looks like Kaya Scodelario. So beautiful 🖤
It feels like the city is about to be attacked by an extraterrestrial titan like creature emerging out of the ocean
I’d say more like “Identical person, run and hide”.
If this was Instagram, the comments would be full of that one Lego Batman GIF, iykyk
This only looks good if your friends are hot.
Back then 1999 this is qualified as a high quality video, now it's just an old 144p video
