The First DIY YouTube Creator Filmmakers Used This

[@BeingLifted]

That was my cousin, Jim. We all had parts in gangster films (with no real idea about gangster life) and we had a lot of fun. He also liked camera tricks -- making things disappear. There was a human train thing he tried, too. Tha ka for the remincer of the good ol' days and Super-8 cameras!

I tried to do this back around 1975/6. I bought a camera at a garage sale for a couple of dollars but when I went to get film for it at Kmart a week later, it would cost $25 to buy the film and have it developed all for only a few minutes. I'm curious if you know what it cost back in the late 60's? In my era it was three months worth of allowance for one short movie.

Dear David, this short film was priceless. Your friend, Cheri 😊

[@knelson3484]

Thank you David. 🙂

[@raymond_sycamore]

My dad had one! I should ask him if he still has it. Once again, David, you deliver! Thank you!

What a fantastic short video, from the thumbnail and title to the video itself to the description! ❤❤❤

[@toddclark332]

Yes sir David did the same back in 70s growing up in California have a great Friday ❤uall

[@towerofresonance4877]

I would have LOVED this in that time! I still own an early film camera and early mini dvr recorder. I prefer them.

If 8mm film was at least still cheap by today, I could afford it anytime. I gotta start writing another screenplay, in that case. Thanks for this gem. ❤

Wow, that M12 camera at the end was the exact one I had! Kodak used to have movie contests every year and I was planning to enter with my friends. Unfortunately the deadline came and went, and we had nothing. The super-8 film was slow, so you also needed bright lights indoors, which I couldn't afford. Also, I got into launching model rockets at the same time and became busy training my pet mouse to be an astronaut (I still have the newspaper article about his flight somewhere). Now that I think of it, that could have been my movie! D'OH!

😂 You have a great story to tell, at least! 😊✌️

Hey David it’s been a while. Glad to be back on your radar. Love the video take care my friend. It’s been a pleasure watching once again.

[@StephanieJeanne]

I love that kid! "Light, action, camera!"🎉 I don’t know what kind of movie camera my dad had in the late '60s early '70s; probably something from Kodak, though. 😊❤

[@drewpall2598]

@StephanieJeanne Timmy Page is a cute kid. I wonder If David and Timmy had ever exchange idea on filming technique back then? 😊🧡🎥

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@drewpall2598 Yeah, I wonder! He was a cute kid! ☺️💜

[@3DEditor]

I have an old Kodak camera like that. My parents held onto there's and passed it down.

[@JWF99]

Great video clip here! I've always loved the whole story on Timmy Page! Thanks David 📽🎥🎬✌

[@drewpall2598]

@JWF99... Evening Jim I hope your sister has a home to go back to and no damage to it? you take care my friend.

[@JWF99]

@@drewpall2598 Yea Drew they did, things are fine, thanks for asking man, and thankfully the worst of that hurricane somewhat missed the biggest part of their town, their house had been without electric for a few days while they were gone, but they had the foresight to empty their fridges before they left, all in all it was good timing on their part to be visiting here in Ohio during that week! Thanks again Drew!👍👍👍

Would have been funny if “we’re here with little Steven, he loves making these movies. We don’t know if 10 year old Steve will ever make a movie or become a dock worker, but he’s having fun now! The best part is that his dad, Mr. Spielberg loves the $30 price tag!”

[@cheri238]

Lol 😊

[@drewpall2598]

Timmy/Tim Page was a bright adorable kid. Tim Page is still living I recommend if you have the time is to read up on some of the online article on Tim Page life. I had a Kodak 35mm cartridge camera as a teen some of the pictures I took have faded but not the memories, Thanks David for a quick flashback to my teens 😊✌🧡

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@drewpall2598 Hey, that's cool. I didn't get 35mm cameras until I was an adult. I had a little Kodak that took these skinny cartridges, but I don't remember what it was called. I want to say it was a 110 cartridge? 😄💜

[@drewpall2598]

@@StephanieJeanne I am sure you remember the drive-up photo mats places where you could drop off your films to be develop withing 1 to 2 weeks. My sister use to work at one for one summer she would go through and look at the pictures when they came back from the developers. she said it was the highlight of her day when it was slow. 😂🧡

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@drewpall2598 I do remember those places! Yeah, I'll bet she saw some interesting photos. I saw some myself when I worked at the Thrifty Drug Store years ago. We had a photo department. 🤣🙌💜

$30 in 1969 has the purchasing power of about $259 in 2024.

But for priceless memories of how bad things were back then.
