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.

[@srushtibargale5429]

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 :(

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.

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

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

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

[@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 😹🙈

[@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 🥰

[@esariodaguman6580]

The aesthetic is just so immaculate

[@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.

[@Renormal]

I love the sparks when the light hits water.

[@cmdcrey]

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

[@AudrieStorme]

Very happy you enjoyed ❤️

[@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!✨

[@erialleatienza]

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

[@chelsea9955]

this feels so nostalgic wth 🥺

[@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.

[@takeru2165]

Film while it's sunset *plus Robbers - 1995 bgm =aesthetic 90's vibes

[@melissaeortega]

this is so cute! It reminded me of my whole family sharing a camcorder and passing it around for "special occasions" lol

[@luvvy888]

I could have cried watching this. Something so peaceful about it!

[@qwuizi]

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.

[@bartsimpson83]

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.

[@paulinekashemwa6054]

Hd a friend tht was relocating n gave me the best gift ever

[@flaviafaria1010]

Funny, I just found my parent old camcorder too! Its the weirdest feeling being my parents age at the time and using it

[@loafy69]

Still have my parents. Hasn’t been used sense I was a baby. They got it at a thrift shop for quite cheap. And just decided to film me when I was little. Which is amazing.

[@reallymentalpig1173]

My father got a camcorder in 2000 he got a thousand dollar one though, the tapes on it are incredible and we used it until 2010. As of now, the quality is amazing for hi8, and it rarely glitches, frame rate is smooth, battery still works, and the focus, zoom and other things are actually better done than my phone. (iPhone 8 plus) The camcorder I have absolutely destroys in comparison to the camcorders I see mostly on KZbin.

[@asDAISIEme]

My parents have a ton of older cameras and I’ve been wanting to put them to use for soo longgg, but have lagged to find & replace the proper films, tapes, chargers etc.

[@BRZguy]

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.

Try using an s-video cable. It gives you better video quality than the yellow cable.

[@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!

[@luvkaeya]

was laying here wondering why everything looked so familiar and then I saw the LB theater omgg + I’ve been wanting to get a camcorder sooo bad so watching this made my need for it increase even more!!

[@hollywoodheiner6028]

I don’t know what went wrong but unfortunately the camcorder footage has an extremely low framerate, I guess it’s related to your adapter or capturing settings. Also it’s not necessary to hook up two video sources. Just use either composite (the yellow jack) or S-Video.

[@brenisdank7097]

Was just coming here to say this, if possible you should use s-video > the yellow composite cable cause the video quality will be higher. In the OBS settings there should be a way to change the capture settings from composite to s-video. As for the studdering you can always look up the framerate and resolution of the capture card and change the obs canvas and recording fps and resolutions settings to help stop scaling and fps conversion issues.

[@WolfShadowhill]

[@livialivia5260]

audrie's videos are gold

[@thalidomide01]

I have this camera though we have a different model but they work the same. Had so many memories recorded with that thing.

You do not need to plug the yellow connector in, as you are using an S-Video cable. The yellow one is composite video, and you only use one of those at a time. S-Video gets you better image quality, so you only want to use composite video if your equipment doesn't have S-Video. The white one you had unplugged is the left audio channel. The digitized video is skipping quite a lot. Maybe there are some settings that could fix it, of maybe the capture hardware just isn't all that good.

[@williamdlc3]

NP-F330s are easy to find, they still use em in 2020 for LED lights and other film accessories :) theyre on amazon for like $20-30

i cant believe we used to think this camera quality couldnt get better. iw as soo amazed when my uncle bought that at family gathering when i was a teen (

[@NitasNiche]

Right? It's like, I don't remember the quality being this bad. It looked so crisp and new back then 😂

[@DoubleMonoLR]

@@NitasNiche That was partly due to the types(& sizes) of TVs at the time, that tended to smooth things out, and better match the recording. Of course, some quality is also lost converting it to digital, particularly in the example here where something went wrong when converting to digital - it definitely shouldn't be jumpy/stuttering like the video here.

I'm 38 years old, and I've messed with electronics since I was about 3 years old.

[@quencionthebeat9770]

that was cool

[@zantigar]

I enjoyed your video - great nostalgic look! I was wondering why the motion of the Hi8 stuff had a jerky quality - the frame rate is 30fps, the same as standard digital stuff of today, so it should be smooth movement. That is, unless you shoot and edit your digital videos at 24fps - the frame rate of cinema. That might explain the jerky quality - which is fine, adding more nostalgia to the montage. Nice piece!
