I made a fan music video for Tool's "Stinkfist" in 2002.
Please be gentle on your feedback on this, it's 16 years old and shot on MiniDV. Very, very pre-HD. I was 22.
I typically don't show this video due to the female in the video being someone in my (very distant) past, but it came
up in conversation so I figured what the hell.
Camera used: Canon Optura (1st Gen)
Edited using EditDV software (long gone now).

This is dope. Vintage yet very creative
I had the Optura PI, my first miniDV camera. Was the letterbox in camera, or later in EditDV?
Ah, the days of worrying about video capture cards!
Nice! I sold several of those when I worked in the camera shop. I liked the 1st gen better for only one reason, and that was because it had a 1/8th second shutter speed, creating some great motion blur. This is what I took advantage of in this video for the "whirring head" effect. The lowest you could go on the Pi was like 1/15 or 1/30.
The letterbox was added later, as I was a big fan of widescreen movies on VHS and DVD back then, and I thought it looked better than full-screen SD video. Also, I don't recall having IEEE-1394 card issues. I was pretty lucky, I think.
I knew that was going to be good coming from you. I do not really like that for music but you have talent, so I was eager to watch this..... it was awesome man.
It is freaky watching you and the female laying down and rising from each other etc.
Thanks in advance for the nightmares in about 12 hours tonight LOL
It is really good!
Retro stuff is back in these days anyways, so maybe it will get picked up by VH1 soon.
(:
OMG, VH1 still exists???
IDK man lol
I was wondering that as I typed but even if just for a cultural milestone marker I knew you would get that the millennials don't it was worth a shot.
lol
I miss Pop-Up Video.
