The Typewriter- Documentry

i made this for school

[@ffymile]

Yes I know I misspelled ‘conclusion’ I can’t do much about it now I made this back in 2012 or 2013 for senior year of high school. I won the best documentary category at my school that year. the original files are long gone now.

Well done, I love your punk aesthetic to the piece. I hope you're still typing.

Robert Montgomery had passed away last year. I would have loved to have met him.

[@ffymile]

Squatch Hammer sad to hear he was a very interesting guy feel luckily to have met him

I love them…been typing since the age of 16. Learned in high school typing classes. That was back in 1966. Still type today and own one selective electric bought new in the 80’s and 2 Royal portables, 1 Royal KMM, 1 - 1953 Smith Corona Super, 1 - 1955 Smith Corona Sterling and 1 - 1965 Smith Corona Sterling and last but not least a 1959 Olympia SM4 in Hunter Green. Beautiful…total of eight. I’m 72 and still love typing.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this! The editing is so captivating and well done, the rock and roll music and the old dude talking was hilarious for some reason lol. I can tell you went above and beyond for a school project that might not have required it, so cool.

Love this! I interviewed Montgomery a couple years back for a newspaper. One of my favorites.

[@VirtualGuth]

The footage of Robert Montgomery and his repair shop is priceless. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us. I'm not sure if you'll see this comment so long after you posted this video, but I would be curious to know if you went on to work in filmmaking, or something else on the creative side of things.

*Manual typewriters(not portable, there are electric ones which are portable as well, like that Smith Corona electric I saw at the Flea Market in my area, along with massive office typewriters which weighed a lot and a courtroom stenograph machine.)

[@ZoeyHuerta]

I really hope that Montgomery gentleman is still alive and well. I wish he was my grandad. :'(

[@kingcorduroy1686]

You have a typo at 6:45. You wrote Conculsion when you obviously meant Conclusion. :P Otherwise that was pretty well edited and fun to watch. :D

[@evelynabston7137]

[@mcostasb23]

Great video! Look out for Tom Hanks documentary call "California Typewriter" out this summer 17

[@phoenixtypewriter2136]

Great going, I might link this from my web page, Nice job ! ! Only thing I didn't like about the typewriter shop was all the cans of WD-40 I kept seeing . . . . .

[@johntapp1411]

Ah yes, the dreaded WD 40. Gum and gunk in a spray can. The Cheez Whiz of lubes. You might as well spray some Cheez Whiz into the typewriter.

[@lies137]

[@torbco]

You had mispronounced Versailles, it's more like "Ver-sigh" not "Versaws."

[@proletariennenaturiste]

[@842qwery]

Yeap!

[@johntapp1650]

The chapter interruptions sure do use intense music. I guess typewriters are more intense machines.

[@enigma9306]

Of course the greats used typewriters, there wasn't anything else to write with lol. loved the video though

[@johntapp1411]

Well, don’t know just how great I am exactly, but I do use typewriters.

[@Fwyd]

PLEASE don't let a kid do your narration!

[@rajachattopadhyay7931]

NICE MACHINE.
