Sometimes I am astonished by modern technology.

This "film" was made using a small handheld digital camera and a computer.

My first two years of college I wanted to be a television engineer. The highest quality television equipment then was heavy, bulky, and the quality was nowhere near the best 16mm film equipment, which was also bulky and expensive. A digital time base corrector and a two inch video tape machine, which were required for any serious editing, cost a small fortune. The time base corrector had memory that held one or two video frames, the equivalent of 640X480 24 bit pixels at most, and some had memory measured in lines, not frames. Cables connecting all these expensive devices were thicker than a 20 amp extension cord.

Here is what makes me think: In today's world so many people have a super-computer on their desk, and a super video machine they can hold in their hands. What we are lacking is artists, and people who appreciate art.

Artists can, of course, use "retro" technologies too. An example of this is 8mm film.
