For film fans, yes, this means all footage is entirely analogue for this video. Editing was very tedious because there is no audio playback reference, and even more difficult, older 16mm cameras do not shoot in time (and we did not have access to a crystal sync Bolex). The original raw footage constantly swayed between slight fast and slow motion with no predictable regularity. Being off even one frame makes a big difference, so strategic cuts and frame dropping got us as close as possible. Still, it's not perfectly in sync like most videos today, but we hope you'll dig it nonetheless.“ Shot by Randy Smith Edited By Chris Smalley and Dan Wetmore Color by Randy Smith and Chris Smalley For more information:
