Old Camp Movies

In late 2021, we went to the old TMC film vault and pulled some ancient VHS-C tapes out of a dusty bin. We figured they could be worth bringing back from the brink of destruction. A few weeks later these old analog films were converted into a digital format. There are five of them for your entertainment pleasure. And they are fun...especially if you were there and are in them.

Remember, these were filmed old school. Sure, we used a camera. But there was no real way back then for a bunch of campers to edit video, add effects, sound, etc. It all was done with a single handheld video cam with a single mic built-in. Each scene had to be shot in the order you wanted the audience to see it. Imagine what blockbusters we could produce today.

What mattered was how much fun this was to do on a usually quiet Sunday afternoon.  Keep in mind that these boys are all middle-aged gentlemen by now.

Enjoy and take a step back a few decades.
