This camera makes 2020 look like the 90’s. I’ve the same camcorder, I can’t wait to try this. It’s like entering a vintage world through the lens.

[@AudrieStorme]

Let me know how you like it! It’s been such a cool process trying to figure it out. I need to get more tapes so I can keep playing with it though 😅

[@srushtibargale5429]

Oh damn. I forgot I’d have to go on a hunt for tapes. Now that’s a challenge. We digitised all of our old tapes :(

[@nancyroche3980]

where do you think I would be able to get one

[@srushtibargale5429]

@@nancyroche3980 vintage stores? Or maybe ebay. eBay at times has vintage items.

[@scott3678]

Isn’t it a Sony tr98, I’m pretty sure it came out in 2001

[@luckyshow98]

At 3:17 It just dawned on me what nostalgia really is: it’s just a lens that you look through in. At the end of the day, people of the 90s were cruising down the same street that you now do, albeit a few changes of course. Life itself remains the same. Thank you for this, I appreciate your effort ❤️

[@pattran4057]

insightful!

[@luckyshow98]

@@pattran4057 thank you :) I hope you have good days.

[@hollygreene6259]

Precisely! YES! nothing has really changed except technology, Fashion and our ways of life and human interaction but that's about it!

[@scotey]

This is mostly true and a wonderful way to describe the sensation. But there are many differences between the '90s and today, mostly small, but combined they do change the look and feel of city life. Obviously fashion was different. The cars are vastly different, as are the typefaces on signs. Even the street signs have been modernized in many cases. But no question, at a glance, this video felt like time travel. Magical.

[@rodrigocalzada7120]

That camera turned everything aesthetically pleasing

[@Aureus_]

Ikr

[@ploopybear]

I'm scared that 2010 aesthetic will be like this in 2030. Ear-rape and ironic editing being the new calming.

[@ThatWhiteHand]

LOL

yess!! our childrens be like: i wanted to live in 2010s so bad 😫😫😫

[@aspentune2719]

@@amylikespiders Lol yeah. When people miss the terribleness, beauty, and weirdness that is gen z humor, now replaced by adults in Disney doing the same humor unironically and ruining it all and deranging it into something else for monetary gain. Then we broke through and we're doing memes with APLS

[@juu1412]

well... it's not even 2030 but it's trend now

[@DebruhBM]

i love how she's using her dads camera and her moms clothes from the 90s. (i love you btw audrie, I love the content and how hard you work on editing)

[@AudrieStorme]

After seeing my parents, I felt like they gave me some inspiration (I’ve been lacking a lot of that lately). Also it’s been really fun just thinking about how different things were made back then 🙈

[@kendallspodcast1915]

Ikr i love how she fulfills my vintages dreams

[@damilola]

you're literally so lucky you got one from your dad, i really want one but they're so expensive to buy😭🤧

[@AudrieStorme]

I had to convince him to let me take it 😹 - I promised him that if I could figure out how to get it to work again that I would digitize all of our old video cassettes.

[@damilola]

@@AudrieStorme awwe🤧🥺

[@ssisssis-ok8hb]

You could probably buy one in a flee market or a thrift store

[@gabrielle9227]

I got mine for $120

[@KP-yy7ph]

they are only around $150-$200 ... not bad at all... but i’d buy now bc that price will go up!

[@chalsea9208]

My mom also has the same camcorder and even after 21 years, it is still working. There's something magical filming home videos with this camcorder.

[@alisia729]

your channel is the best🥺 its so aesthetically pleasing and a whole vibe! never stop filming, much love

[@racheltham]

So cool to see your process for this video! The transitions for the walking scenes and the ad were so smooth, I love it! Can’t wait to see what you film next!

[@erialleatienza]

I can't stop binge watching all of your vlogs. They're all cinematic and therapeutic. I love you 💕

[@natsinternetdiary]

this was literally SO helpful. you've inspired me to start practicing with my mom's old film camera!

[@tripunk]

So aesthetic!!! Love that your parents keep so many of their old items (like your mom’s dresses). Things were made to last back then; I still have some of my mom’s dresses and wool trousers and they look pristine still! It’s also funny that you didn’t know the cassette tape didn’t go in the camcorder- it’s weird how much technology has changed...

[@AudrieStorme]

Ahhh I’m just lucky my parents are very sentimental! It was so funny trying to get that audio cassettes to go in, it was a solid 2 minutes before I realized it was the wrong one 😹🙈

[@matv90]

My dad used to have the same camcorder. Watching this brought back memories. I'm over the modern day quality in our cameras and miss filming with the quality we had back then.

[@lmarieshaw]

OMG your channel and videos are a whole entire VIBE! I really enjoy your footage of LBC! It's already the coolest beach city ever but your videos make it so much more cool.

[@memoriesofanothertime3992]

This is a very lovely video! Good to see people recording with those old cameras again :)

[@Jdcv99]

Great editing, music, and production on this video. I enjoyed every second of it!! The old school vibes of your Dads old camcorder really brings back the nostalgic vibes and you made it look aesthetic at the same time. Great job!! 👍🏽🔥

[@M22.2]

I grew up in Downtown Long Beach in the early 90s so seeing 2020 DTLB through a 90s camcorder was a trip for me 🥰

[@cmdcrey]

Omg I literally just woke up from my nap and saw a notification that she posted a video, this is the best day! 🥺💕

[@annajo2938]

Wow watching this just reminded me that my dad had also given me his camcorder and I almost forgot it existed! I get upset sometimes when thinking of my 70D that got soaked up in sea water last year, but this video got me to get that camcorder. It’s a sony dcr-trv22, not as old or expensive, but still holds its value. Thank you for this beautiful video!✨

[@realguitarshredder]

Aahhh those starlike blinks in the water.. these footages brings back magical days.

[@LittleKittyCat]

I love the way these cameras look. ❤😍

[@ssspit]

i just copped a handyman camcorder dvd edition after wanting one for years :) that aesthetic really reminds me of 2000-2010. I geek over this type of stuff. cameras are so timeless with the ability to "take us back" thru film. that's something modern phones/cameras have really ruined about the aspect of capturing memories. i appreciate all the devices that remain timeless for this type of thing. it keeps the vintage era alive.

[@esariodaguman6580]

The aesthetic is just so immaculate

[@adrianreyes4702]

Excellent Video info! I just bought the late 90s DCR TRV 27 Sony Handycam so I could play tapes I had when my 21 year old Daughter was a toddler. I love it! The old tapes still play like new, in excellent quality. Thanks for sharing! Thank you so much for the Transfer to digital info!!! Those mix tips and separate Audio items I would not have figured out right away. I know our Cameras have to have easier methods for transfer because mine has a “mpeg EX” sticker, DV out ports, a built in SD card, and S-Video out ports.

I love the sparks when the light hits water.

I have a one exactly like this from the 90s that my grandmas parter used to own before he died unexpectedly in 2005, I could buy a couple tapes and use them for stuff like this. It has some old holiday tapes from 1999 and my mothers 18th and other stuff like that but it just shows how much a camera can do.

I definitely am in love with this. My grandpa has a lot of old things, I'll be asking him if he has any camcorder from the past I can have.

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you for watching! It was definitely a process trying to get it to work, but I’m kind of loving it. Totally worth it if you have some time on your hands though - it’s been a pretty big source of inspiration for me during this time 🙈

[@jocelynmejia8991]

OMGGG THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO NOW I KNOW WHAT CAMERA I WANT TO GET FOR MY CLOTHING BRAND AND JUST START FILMING EVERYTHING!!!!

[@ediecote1466]

Heck I have the exact same camera!! the flip out screen on mine is cracked but other than that it still works and I occasionally film fun stuff on it, it's super fun! I've also used similar cords and video capture software from elgato, and the digitization process is really intuitive and easy! The only filming tips I have definitely apply to all cameras but go easy on zooming in and out. A lot of my families home movies where myself or my siblings are filming we would just go nuts with zooming in and out and it's so painful to watch lol.

[@Renormal]

This is so sweet , I love it ❤️

[@nkk_23]

wow, i love this so much. it's so pretty!! it reminds me of my old home videos omg

[@AudrieStorme]

Yes!! Next time I see my family, I’m going to try and digitize all of our old videos. I’m really excited to watch those 😹

Earlier this year I got one of the old VHS cameras that takes full size tapes from a local thrift store. I haven't done much more than test it so far, but eventually I'd like to do a cheesy low budget horror flick shot on VHS. The VHS apps you can download are cool, but nothing beats authenticity.

Hi8 is awesome. Did you know that in 1998 when nightshot was introduced, it was able to see through clothing? My Dad actually got one that year since I was born in March 1998. It was a Sony CCD-TRV85 (top of the line back in the day)

I grew up with a camcorder just like yours! My family filmed a lot of things, and I used to make stop-motion lego movies with it haha. I want to find ours wherever it is, but the tapes must be a pain to find. And probably pretty expensive and not made anymore lol.
