You get a certain feeling of warmth when tuning into old family home movies. Beyond watching a parent as a young child or even seeing your grandparent in younger days, is just the vintage-style of it all transforming us to another time in the life of our family. Life somehow seemed simpler then, and it’s fun to set aside an evening where a group gets together just to view such videos. Even watching old-school footage from other people’s families can be entertaining, and take us back to another time. The mere premise of recording video then was exciting; these days how dated this video looks is the very first thing we’d notice.
By the 1980s, those reel-to-reel days were over, and we had moved onto VHS and BETA. Recording family videos with more modern hand-held devices became the norm. Some years later, we found ourselves transferring that content to DVDs, as the digital world took over. And who would have thought that now, we’d be recording high-quality video so much more easily, even with phones!?
Back in the day, directing much beyond a family video did not even seem possible unless you were in Hollywood. But now with modern technology, even novice directors and producers can make old school footage seem like, well - history. However, if you have a burgeoning interest in film, is there a solid way to explore that talent without a four year degree? Is it possible to edit your footage or story into the real deal?
While these days we have so many photo and video options, editing in any type of high-quality way many times does require some talent, training, and proper equipment. If these requirements don’t necessarily fall into your lap, no worries. There is now a way to inexpensively edit videos captured with a first-rate method.
