Oh look! Baby Timmy has taken his first step! You want to chronicle this moment and keep it forever. Easy enough to grab your Kodak Brownie and snap a shot, but it’s just a still image.
Wouldn’t it be more fun if you could capture Timmy’s actual movements for all to see?
With 1950s technology it’s possible. Time to head to the camera store.
Here you speak with a Bell&Howell representative, who is an expert on home movie equipment. Turns out there are twobasicformats to choose from. You start off learning about 16 mm film.
You whistle. 16 mm movie equipment is a little pricey. Is there a more affordable option?
Of course, there is.
Take a look at the world of 8 mm movie making!
$49.95! That sounds a lot better for your budget. The salesman helps you load your new “Auto-8 Voyager” camera and “Monterey” film projector into the trunk of your car, along with several pre-threaded film magazines!
You can’t wait to get home and record Timmy‘s next antics! Now preserved forever thanks to Bell & Howell and GVS, Glorious Vintage Stuff!
