The analogue video look is so closely associated with an era, the 1980s and 90s, that it's difficult to shoot anything today without evoking that time. It's such a visual timestamp, aesthetically speaking, it would be interesting to hear anyone shooting analogue for non-nostalgia reasons.
I do it partially only a little out of nostalgia but not because i am 80‘s obsessed but simply cause it makes things look fun and stuff its one of the few times imo where less imo is better I Simply like it because it conveys Cinema and "photo" so much It’s not perfect that’s what is great about it I just think it gives me warmth. Also i like using the cams analog is just so cool to use. As a metalhead taking images of me and m friends is always fun and beautiful to look at.
I have an analogue Sony DVD handycam made 19 years ago, anything recorded on it looks itself to be as old as the camera. Going to experiment by taking stills and videos of object/places that weren't around back then e.g. The Shard (London) etc
I love that analog look -- it adds a certain atmosphere and cinematic flare, while the digital camcorder just looks like plain old reality, which, ya know, I see everyday through the lenses of my eyes.
It has nothing to do analog and everything to do with the sensor. That’s the CCD look. MiniDV is digital encoding and still gets the same look when you shoot with a CCD camera, even more so when using a 3 CCD camera like the VX1000 or 2100.
I think analog mediums are distorted enough that it almost captures the distressed nature of our memories and it feels more accurate to how we remember stuff
I love analog, it just makes things look cozy whilst the comparison in digital was kinda depressing haha I need the noise and the pixels and the sound distortion 😂
Hehe or upscaled analog for the... strange but crisp sharp quote sharpness turned up high.. sort of look.. like it is I guess trying to upscake from lower resolution but not using an actually older pre say mid late 00s/flat panel vs flat faced crtvor plasma display panel.. from the 1979 or 20th century sometime.. hd cams came in our modern sense of the word high defiition.. in 1979 onwards but yeah... fun factveven the SUPERA NINTENDO has mostvorvall titles on it officially licensed ones.. capable of surround sound.. minus the info on cartridges to say that.. because copyright of thevword dolby surround being a cost of money thus eliminated the effortvto mention ability to do single back speajer surround with leftvand right front sound.. using the needed additional stereo equipment.. but yeah many do not realize you can play on official hardware castevania /cassablanca 2 or 3?/hotel transylvaniawhatever the game in thecexample J sawconline on youtube demonstrated in Also if you wanted they did in fact do such a thing.. is demo the sony sound processor used in all snes consoles.. via a cartridge capable of up to a minutecor a few perhaps of about cd qaulity sound.. if only used for storing sound on a 4mb or less snes cartridge.. vs the n64 with ok or less sound but up to 64mb of game size.. for reference modern or more modern gamecube discs hold up to 1.4 GIGABYTES.. vs mb.
Just found my grandpas 1997 JVC GR-AX720U VideoMovie Camera. Definitely going to shoot some 90s videos. I have 90s Vehicles; (92 Ford F250, and a 95 Ford Ranger, and a 01 Mercury Grand Marquis). I personally love living a simplified and fun life. I am fixing up his all original One Owner 1971 1080sqft brick home and loving finding the hidden treasures and the odds and ends! I am keeping to a 90s theme. Minus the bright neons lol!! A earthy green and brown and white look!
Oh man, this took me back to high school, I used Hi8 cameras all the time, and the school had a dedicated player connected to an editing machine. Eventually, I got to use the newer Digital 8 camcorders, which used a firewire cable to connect to the computer for import. All the editing we did was in Adobe Premiere. There is a certain look to that old camcorder footage, and while it brings me back, I find working with my D750 for video today is far better. As for editing digital to look like analogue, not my thing, but your footage certainly makes me enjoy the look! PS: I came over to your channel after Lucy Lumen recommended it!
Another thing i found out is that if you get to find some old point and shoot camera, it can also do similar results to the analog camera when the resolution is set to vga (480x600). Still not the best or the same but to some extent it does the trick.
i gotta say i'm an analog girl! BUT i appreciate digital for its convenience. im conflicted about editing digital footage to look analog but because shooting on film/analog can be expensive i can understand.
Thank you for bringing back the nostalgia for this analog device. I remember when I first started out in video with this Hi-8 format. The jump to the the subsequent digital generation of Mini DV was quite noticeable in terms of image quality and sound. Then when HDV and other HD formats came along, looking back to the old footage was almost unbearable. Today's 4K or 8K still didn't quite have the impact of the transition from the Mini DV to the golden HD generation.
I have only now seen your video contribution and as a former Hi8 Fimer I would like to say something about it. My Hi8 film equipment consisted of the very good Sony CCD V600E camera and the Sony EVS 9000 recorder as a player for the PC. The recorder had TBC on board and produced an excellent picture by eliminating the 2-line color replacement on the screen or PC. The video image was absolutely stable with no line jittering at the edges of the subject. That was a very good starting point for editing on the PC. The clips produced in this way still look good on large flat screens today. Of course, the Hi8 resolution of around 400 lines is a long way from HD. But in certain image sections the difference is not that serious. Today, of course, with 4K everything is cleaner and almost unnaturally sharp, almost unrealistic. Nevertheless, the analogue time had its charm in the high-end range.
Ahhhhh been waiting for this one! Thank you for uploading 💗 you literally were the reason I bought my sony handicam aha. I shoot film pics and personally I don't like editing film apart from a few color corrections but with digital videos I don't mind editing it to look like analogue videography but I guess it just depends on what equipment you have accessible to you 💗
The playlist you made: Lofi Beats to put u in a good mood has literally gotten me thru my BSN, I graduate August 26th, and while i associate that playlist with pain and suffering, it pavlovs me into focusing
WOW! I still use my Sony analogue camcorder and thought it was doing OK until I saw the quality of what is possible using one of the cheaper Sony digital camcorders. I also transfer my films to the computer via an analogue to digital converter. After seeing the quality of Sony's supposed low end digital effort, & how easy it is to transfer files, I am hooked. Just ordered one for myself. Excellent work Audrie.
I already love it from the very start! Great content. I also remember (I was born in 84) around 1995 my uncle came home from Hawaii and he had an analog JVC camcorder and he taught me how to use it and I became the go to kid at that time to operate that camcorder. Peace
I think that the failure here is the screen capture recording method. The proper way to do the transfer is to use a analog to digital video converter box like the Canopus ADVC 100 ($100 to $200 used), then go FW 1394 (firewire) to PC and end up with a DV or AVI file. Much more accurate display of what the analog 8 camera can do. But if one wants the easy way to do this, then fine OBS got the job done. But a pure digital conversion from analog via Firewire is the pro way to go.
I love both images. I guess I have a soft spot for the hi 8 footage since I used it so much when I was younger. Thanks for the video!! Cameras and camcorders plus your sweet voice in California has caught my interest! Thanks again!!!!
I'm 19, what I love about my old memories are how they are videos captured on analogue with the typical dad cam aesthetic. Nowadays it's too easy to just whip out the iPhone and take a quick pic. The quality seems clearer than my eyes and it just doesn't feel the same.
Thank you for the editing tutorial! I have been looking for a way to replicate the camcorder effect because I want to use it for my assignment. I am saving this for later.
5:52 mana para que le sacas la tarjeta microSD si está videocámara la Sony cx405 tiene una entrada USB y tiene un cable para conectarla a la computadora Pc windows o iMac MacOS
mmm the correct comparison would perhaps be hi8 camera versus digital8 camera, since being HD the one you put here changes even the resolution, and digital is not the same as HD.
I used to capture Hi8 tape via firewire PCI-e card to digital file for my school-university project, you'll get a really better video quality from Hi8 with the uncompress AVI with PCM lossless audio on Windows and Prores on MAC, compare using RCA output that was down streaming to USB and then was compressed again with OBS. With firewire card it will be separated into clips as you press the record too. Or even for better quality just use the DVCAM deck with SDI output then use Blackmagic Hyperdeck to capture. I have used it last years to restore some of miniDV tapes, after that upscaled to Full HD resolution. It was really wonderful quality.
@@Baer9471 I used Sony DCR-TRV240E PAL. It has DV in/out on the camera to connect via firewire. Because it is an analog signal, it was captured to digital video 720×576(50i ) on my system.
@@mc25141 that’s a D8 camera my guy, you use Hi8 tapes on it still. Ah btw some ppl capture Hi8 analog tapes via a D8 camera (bcz firewire) and because some D8 cameras can playback analog Hi8 tapes. Is that what you mean?
I actually have an old jvc camera from the late 90s early 2000s and I have a fascinating with New York city was recorded with a camcorder in the early 2000s like skateboarding or just walking around before the 9/11 attacks and when I get a chance it's on my bucket list I wanna record myself rollerblading in New York. I record my life with this camcorder everyday its my life
i would still pick digital over vhs just because the colours in digital look less washed out, colours are important to me. aside from that analog camcorders are really expensive and high maintenance and pretty much out of my budget. if I'm speaking like a layman right now its because i am one xD but if i had the budget id love to have both on hand, and id use either depending on what feeling i want to capture :)
Such a well presented video and love the analog look. Your voice / mic setup is a little ASMR like there's some high frequency lip sounds when you talk which took me by surprise lol. Cool that you showed the digitizing process and also how to make digital look more like the Hi8, but maybe don't need quite as much channel blur I guess but I still am not too familiar with the Premiere effects so it was useful to see
One recomendation I learned doing VHS capture to PC, if you have access to a video game console that can play 240p Test Suite, you can calibrate your capture card color, brightness, contrast etc I have an ElGato Video Capture, and after the calibration of Contrast and brightness the videos look really good.
I feel like I need something that’s in between these too in terms of video quality!! The analog is too grainy/blurry for my liking but the digital is wayyy to crisp & lacks character. Any suggestions?!! 🥰
I appreciate the work. I really do. But if to dig into the topic. I believe, the true comparison of analog and digital would be watching the cassette running through the best professional player or rerecorder (or whatever its name was at the time) just on the screen - meaning watching it through the shortest chain possible. Because the way many people do like that it's comparison of digital technology recorded with an analog camera against "digital" recorded with a digital camera. For example, that easycap usb thing (or whatever its nonamed name is) is a poor choice. Than another thing - it's just one of the few analog technology. What about film? You can't compare shooting movie on a film against digital consumer camcorder. When ccd sensors were growing we thought "wow, it's so sharp!", then the first HD came out and we thought "wow, it's so sharp!", Then Full HD came out and we thought "wow, it's so sharp!". So the pictures that were shot on digital stayed in res that were shot in. But movies that were shot on film were digitalized with big sensors. And we can watch them today like they were shot in 70,80, 90 on a modern digital movie camera. In 20 years the same movie will be digitalize with bigger sensors, and they will look modern. Guess what, movies that are shot today in Full HD will stay in Full HD. Yes you can process them with effects. But it's not the same.
Great video! I actually have the same set up as you. I have a Sony HDR CX405 and just bought an older JVC camcorder. I first got the Sony digital camcorder first tho. I took a few vacations in LA & Chicago and wanted to vlog along the way! The videos on my channel are all recorded by my Sony camcorder. I recently wanted to experiment around with an older camcorder because of the classic look and how it seems more intimate, idk how to fully describe it. So I looked online and got a JVC camcorder from like 2000. I'm still trying to figure out how i'm gonna transfer the film to my laptop tho hahaha
You´re close but not quite right. It records this digital signal into a cassette but this type of medium is not actualy analog it´s stored in a digital form on the tape. Soo... Digital VS Digital
I want to grow by exploring, appreciating and treasuring all the moments of my life. I badly want to have an digital camera or recorder but as of now, my parents won't allow me because its too expensive, and hoping that I can enhace my skills in photography and filming .
I have a the same type of Sony digital camcorder with touch screen menu,and got water proof housing too,takes great video.camcorders quality is so much better then a mobile phone for videos.the Sony hanycam came with pmb software.
Audrie, please I need your help! That adaptor you have where you can put the usb input into firewire to import your Mini DV tapes, can you put a link to where you got it, or let me know how you found one, I have been pulling my hair out because I cannot find any such device!! Thank you!!!
Maybe a better suggestion, if you want a better capture for 60 FPS (if that camcorder is NTSC anyways) and you don’t want to spend too much money, try to buy a DVD + VHS combo that have a DVD recorder on it, I think you could connect an S video cable to it and record
Hey, I am "modernising" an old VHS-C camcorder with a drone FPV DVR. I am hoping to be able to record analogue TVout signal, directly to Micro SD, with a sound channel. I am using a $13 eBay field recorder to capture digital audio off camera and am hoping to produce a very clean, but aesthetically satisfying video. I just stumbled on this video in my searches...
Watching the Hi8 video on a laptop does NOT do justice for it at all. It looks old and 80's time. I have 20 yr old MiniDV tapes that i play on my camcorder and they look really good on that 2.5 inch screen.
What type of battery do you use?I found my father's camera sony dcr-sx45e and I want to use it again. The battery is bad and I don't know which battery to use. Please guide me
Shooting on a 480p digital camcorder gives the same look as analog. You’re comparing an HD digital camera to Hi8, so of course you’ll see a major difference.
Just for the record, vinyl records were NEVER outdated. The music industry TRIED to make them obsolete -- it only ended up being a VERY temporary reprieve. Now, vinyl is stronger than ever -- even more so than digital sales of music.
Is there a video camera which kinda has the look of the Hi8 but which works with a sd card? I have a camcorder for minidvds. I really like the look but most if the times the dvds do not work and they are very expensive… also I can also use them only for one time…
I have a Sony TRV 140 which I still use and just ordered the analog to digital device so I can start uploading previous and current recording to my iMac. I also have a Sony HDR as well as a 4K recorder but sometimes I just want that nostalgic look, I’m old school from the 8mm film days when I got my first 8mm camera 50 years ago to film my new born son🤣🤣
Both cameras use analog sensors so there won't be much of a quality difference anyways. I use a Sony MiniDV (digital tape) camera and the quality looks exactly like your "analog" camera because the sensor itself is analog.
is tape recorder reusable or you need to buy another to shoot if its full? i really want to buy analog camcorders but this is kinda my consideration cause i already have analog camera and its really expensive to always buy a film
Well i have an camera which is water proof (NOT AN CAMCOREDER) And the thing is when i just film or make pictures it gets really vintage and that’s what i love! But i really want an Camcorder! ❤ My cam is currently both of the cams you are showing ❤
The camcorders i like the most are the ones that use mini dv cassettes that are digital tapes but still are similar to vhs tapes. The colors are better but the quality is similar
Not really the same thing. Mini DV is just the same quality as DVDs, but with a higher bitrate, and can be transferred through FireWire instead of those crappy composite video capture cards.
@@kennerfee100 sorry i was a dumbass 6 months ago. i didn't even have a vhs player. now i even have a canon uc2000 (1997) that uses 8mm cassettes, in fact, this camcorder is the first camcorder that I bought and that is MINE, because i already had a camcorder (it used mini dv's) but it isn't mine.
this is literally not the point of the video at all but your "my handsome assistant" and then your boyfriend's little satisfied gasp right after made me smile ^o^ edit: sorry *HUSBAND hahahaha
My personal regards for this interesting video 📽️ a well done comparison between two eras. i own a Samsung 8mm Camcorder (bought in '95..It still works!). Emotional teardrops are unavoidable😪 have a nice day! Massi from Italy

Doesn't Quentin Tarantino film some movies in Analogue?
I think Mad Max Fury Road 2015-ish was also Analogue
Right!

I love analog, it just makes things look cozy whilst the comparison in digital was kinda depressing haha I need the noise and the pixels and the sound distortion 😂
Ahah yesss there’s just something about analog
I know
The pixels are the digital glitches… The analog glitches are the distorted horizontal lines of video (static, colors etc.)
Analog brings things to life while digital puts them to sleep and makes them look lifeless and boring.

I believe, the true comparison of analog and digital would be watching the cassette running through the best professional player or rerecorder (or whatever its name was at the time) just on the screen - meaning watching it through the shortest chain possible. Because the way many people do like that it's comparison of digital technology recorded with an analog camera against "digital" recorded with a digital camera. For example, that easycap usb thing (or whatever its nonamed name is) is a poor choice. Than another thing - it's just one of the few analog technology. What about film? You can't compare shooting movie on a film against digital consumer camcorder. When ccd sensors were growing we thought "wow, it's so sharp!", then the first HD came out and we thought "wow, it's so sharp!", Then Full HD came out and we thought "wow, it's so sharp!". So the pictures that were shot on digital stayed in res that were shot in. But movies that were shot on film were digitalized with big sensors. And we can watch them today like they were shot in 70,80, 90 on a modern digital movie camera. In 20 years the same movie will be digitalize with bigger sensors, and they will look modern. Guess what, movies that are shot today in Full HD will stay in Full HD. Yes you can process them with effects. But it's not the same.
Great video! I actually have the same set up as you. I have a Sony HDR CX405 and just bought an older JVC camcorder. I first got the Sony digital camcorder first tho. I took a few vacations in LA & Chicago and wanted to vlog along the way! The videos on my channel are all recorded by my Sony camcorder. I recently wanted to experiment around with an older camcorder because of the classic look and how it seems more intimate, idk how to fully describe it. So I looked online and got a JVC camcorder from like 2000. I'm still trying to figure out how i'm gonna transfer the film to my laptop tho hahaha
Love the fuzzy feeling you get from film 🎥
can you do a side by side test between the hi8 vs vhs apps on the iphone
If you want in menu you can filmed in 16:9 with Sony TRV950E
ahh yes, you uploaded
I hope you enjoy 😬
I think it's important to say that actually the hi8 camera records digital via a sensor and then saves this digital file to the analog cassette.
You´re close but not quite right. It records this digital signal into a cassette but this type of medium is not actualy analog it´s stored in a digital form on the tape. Soo... Digital VS Digital
@@carlosXromano thanks for the correction!
There is no digital signal, it's electrical signal.
I want to grow by exploring, appreciating and treasuring all the moments of my life. I badly want to have an digital camera or recorder but as of now, my parents won't allow me because its too expensive, and hoping that I can enhace my skills in photography and filming .
مااجمل الماضي كانت الحياة لها طعم
I have a the same type of Sony digital camcorder with touch screen menu,and got water proof housing too,takes great video.camcorders quality is so much better then a mobile phone for videos.the Sony hanycam came with pmb software.
Check out 16mm film cameras, I’ve been getting into the bolex’s and krasnogorsk-3’s
Could you do a Newvicon vs CCD comparison sometime? I’ve never seen them compared side by side
me a 15 year old i decided it is time to continue the tradition of filming on tapes family vacation
Audrie, please I need your help! That adaptor you have where you can put the usb input into firewire to import your Mini DV tapes, can you put a link to where you got it, or let me know how you found one, I have been pulling my hair out because I cannot find any such device!! Thank you!!!
Maybe a better suggestion, if you want a better capture for 60 FPS (if that camcorder is NTSC anyways) and you don’t want to spend too much money, try to buy a DVD + VHS combo that have a DVD recorder on it, I think you could connect an S video cable to it and record
Love this. Very informative. Thanks Audrie ❤️❤️
Oh my god. The analog just hits different
Hey, I am "modernising" an old VHS-C camcorder with a drone FPV DVR. I am hoping to be able to record analogue TVout signal, directly to Micro SD, with a sound channel. I am using a $13 eBay field recorder to capture digital audio off camera and am hoping to produce a very clean, but aesthetically satisfying video. I just stumbled on this video in my searches...
there’s something about analog video that is enthralling! 👌🏽
Dang the hi8 looks so good to me, I need to figure out filming on the old ones I have
I like the background music
What is this song called?
Where you can get battery replacement of Panasonic SDR - S71
ebay
FUN 👏👏The fam camcorder is 👌You guys are the literal so cutest! Love from down coast
I am thinking to buy a analog camera 😀
i’m so confused on how to get the sony 330 footage to my pc
Did you use the Sony DCR-DVD810? That retro footage kinda looks like it.
Watching the Hi8 video on a laptop does NOT do justice for it at all. It looks old and 80's time. I have 20 yr old MiniDV tapes that i play on my camcorder and they look really good on that 2.5 inch screen.
its been a whileeee
miss ur videos so much
I’ve been living life offline for a bit 😅
What type of battery do you use?I found my father's camera sony dcr-sx45e
and I want to use it again. The battery is bad and I don't know which battery to use. Please guide me
Shooting on a 480p digital camcorder gives the same look as analog. You’re comparing an HD digital camera to Hi8, so of course you’ll see a major difference.
Hi. What is the name of the analog hi8 camera?
Just for the record, vinyl records were NEVER outdated.
The music industry TRIED to make them obsolete -- it only ended up being a VERY temporary reprieve.
Now, vinyl is stronger than ever -- even more so than digital sales of music.
Is there a video camera which kinda has the look of the Hi8 but which works with a sd card? I have a camcorder for minidvds. I really like the look but most if the times the dvds do not work and they are very expensive… also I can also use them only for one time…
I have a Sony TRV 140 which I still use and just ordered the analog to digital device so I can start uploading previous and current recording to my iMac. I also have a Sony HDR as well as a 4K recorder but sometimes I just want that nostalgic look, I’m old school from the 8mm film days when I got my first 8mm camera 50 years ago to film my new born son🤣🤣
Pretty cool you set up that camera before you left so it could get that shot of you coming in!
My handsome assistant set it up so I can’t take the credit 📹
Hello, what connectors should we use exactly, do you have any references for the cables and the reading software? THANKS !!
Both cameras use analog sensors so there won't be much of a quality difference anyways. I use a Sony MiniDV (digital tape) camera and the quality looks exactly like your "analog" camera because the sensor itself is analog.
Hi8 gives good vibes for some reason
The analogue has a 80s 90s commercial feel to it
*What's the exact model number of the Hi8 vintage camcorder ?*
Sony CCD-TRV68
That analog camera is supeerr sick!!!
Hey, I bought a similar capture device. Do you know why my camcorder won't show up in OBS?
Does your camcorder have different resolutions? Have you tried comparing them? Is it more vintage looking when you use the lower res?
Just found your channel. Awesome😜
Hey quick question, what cable do you insert into the camera because I just got the same camera for Christmas and want to digitize my footage
is tape recorder reusable or you need to buy another to shoot if its full? i really want to buy analog camcorders but this is kinda my consideration cause i already have analog camera and its really expensive to always buy a film
how’d you get the analog footage on to computer
Love it 📹🐰
Tip: when capturing analog video from those camcorders, capture in 60/50fps. Also if you want to make the effect more true film at 60/50fps
does it make it look more grainy or something? what if you want more so of a cinematic look would you stay in 24fps?
The capture card she uses isn’t capable of 50 or 60 FPS
@@eldridgeisswagtv it doesn't change the grain. If you want it to look cinematic then definitely go for 24fps
Awesome video! How is the name of the file transfer cable that u use on a Handycam?
Well i have an camera which is water proof (NOT AN CAMCOREDER) And the thing is when i just film or make pictures it gets really vintage and that’s what i love! But i really want an Camcorder! ❤
My cam is currently both of the cams you are showing ❤
The camcorders i like the most are the ones that use mini dv cassettes that are digital tapes but still are similar to vhs tapes. The colors are better but the quality is similar
Not really the same thing. Mini DV is just the same quality as DVDs, but with a higher bitrate, and can be transferred through FireWire instead of those crappy composite video capture cards.
@@kennerfee100 sorry i was a dumbass 6 months ago. i didn't even have a vhs player. now i even have a canon uc2000 (1997) that uses 8mm cassettes, in fact, this camcorder is the first camcorder that I bought and that is MINE, because i already had a camcorder (it used mini dv's) but it isn't mine.
The one with the take I sit here and I look and say disappointing I could go to de 80s or 70s for one tape
I like the style when someone make a analog looking video out of a digital one.
It even possible to send a digital file to analog output and record to analog tape, so it's really analog, and quicker to do than all those effects.
Thats the vinyl/ analog xy music right at the Beginning
this is literally not the point of the video at all but your "my handsome assistant" and then your boyfriend's little satisfied gasp right after made me smile ^o^
edit: sorry *HUSBAND hahahaha
I have the same camcorder. Could you share where you buy the cassettes for it? 🤍
Think hdr looks good standard definition?
My personal regards for this interesting video 📽️ a well done comparison between two eras. i own a Samsung 8mm Camcorder (bought in '95..It still works!). Emotional teardrops are unavoidable😪 have a nice day! Massi from Italy
Maybe the reason we like analog so much is because it's imperfect.
nothing is perfect
@@ACommenterOnTH-camcringe
which sd card are you using for the sony one audrie?
