memories of a very specific piece of .dv footage,
lingering in my mind for several years.
finally, it itched enough to go spelunking,
just a quick scan of the archives away, maybe...
i knew the year,
but kept coming up nil.
maybe the subject of a latter-day digitization?
yes.

.dv footage just hits different,
something about the frame rate and saturation.
shot coeval to that particular film zeitgeist of the 00's,
primer, eternal sunshine, the only picture of us.
everything filtered and warm,
myspace blues, cd-r distribution networks.
elegies to our teenage years,
myself, just/only 18.
none of it edited in post,
even the reverberations from the baseball game are real.
(was it actually 19:28?
i seem to remember shooting this in the afternoon.
midwest sun just after the solstice,
the field at 42.27249932319169, -88.14133575827987...)

i realize why,
this clip never made it to one of my films.
it already says it all.

Instantly heard the camera. ❤

one of the best noises, for sure. the mic on this thing was just a tiny little pinhole in the body.

@@tyleretters7237 i had started a few days ago with a lengthy comment how it triggered my mind back to the days on Vimeo and how I got a Canon HV30 with tape 'cus that was the low budget option for diy Tweakers. Many were making their own lensadapters and whatnot. I made a dolly with PVC pipes and skatewheels. The camera bag is constantly calling to me because of your video trigger ... Thanks for that. Must do something with this nostalgia.
