Gradually try to take the old rate of publication that was before this space. It is somewhat difficult because of laziness and phenylethylamine decreases continuously stand in my way. Now, in addition, various rituals of OCD type give a further twist to the situation. Anyway I wanted to post this entry for some time, and more after having spent the last days recording footage on MiniDV, so here goes.
If the previous post we all get information about a shooting method (Super 8) that as few, if sounded, in this post most of you will find a system / support completely new and, in turn, completely retro. This is the PixelVision.
PixelVision is electronic video recordings of what the Super 8 was a chemical film quality. This is a brand FisherPrice system, sold from 1987 to the first 90 as a toy, which a camera (PXL-2000) with a monochrome CCD electronic sensor (osease B / N) and very low resolution (only 90x120 pixels) captures and records them on an audio cassette. Yes, what you are reading, in an audio tape as the Walkman. In a single film could hold up to 20 minutes of video.
curious thing, and what has ce today freaks of retro-analog interested in this, is the look you get when recording. A retro style, slightly reminiscent Game Boy Camera, although the latter was intended mainly to take still images. The shots are so PixelVision peculiar that there is even recognized short film directors who have used this medium for their creations.
For that you dare to Ebay a camera still for sale at exorbitant prices of course. If you will not suffer financially you can always try to simulate the look of PixelVision with a video editing program.
I already doubt between a producer of short form using Super 8 or PixelVision.
