Iconic Kodak 8mm Movie Camera - ASMR

Possibly an American icon, the Kodak Brownie 8mm Movie Camera allowed people of average means to create home movies for the first time. Up until the Brownie 8mm, the more expensive 16mm format kept moving-pictures beyond the reach of most of the world. With this $29 movie camera, Kodak blew the motion picture doors wide open to consumers across the globe. Relax as I show you this Silver Halide relic up close and personal while imparting a few things I have learned on the subject. I even run the camera at the end of the video but I must warn you that it is a little louder than I had hoped. One more thing: I used a poor choice of words in the video when I said something about seeing my wife "alive" on film as a small child. One viewer took from that, that my wife was deceased. After going back and listening to what I said, I can understand how one might conclude that. What I meant was that I have seen many still-photos of her as a child and teenager, but to see her "alive", as in moving around, animated, was really cool. My wife is alive and well and I apologize if anyone thinks otherwise because of my poor sentence structure. I hope you enjoy the video.
