Filming the Saamis Teepee on VHS Camcorder

Last night I decided to finally test out the 1985, shoulder-mounted, ONCE state-of-the-art VHS camcorder that I picked up earlier this year. Who needs 4K footage when you can shoot foggy 360p in a really cumbersome and inconvenient way?

Shoutout to anyone who actually captured home videos with one of these things back in the day. You really had to want to document those memories to lug one of these beasts around.

I imagine this would've been the quality of footage you would've captured when the Saamis Teepee first opened back in 1991. Sorry it's so shakey, but need I remind you, it's really difficult to see what you're filming through a tiny black and white viewfinder that cuts out half the time.
