Wayyy back when this is how we logged our footage. When I say "we" I mean myself and T Bird Two Bit Terry. Everytime we came home with clips, we immediately copied them to a VHS tape via VCR. We didn't have computers with Final Cut Pro or anything. So any slow-mo you see is straight from the cam to the tape!
Anyway, for better or worse it's going up. In chronological order, no music, no image/audio correction, no labels, just "The Footy Tape." But I'm doing it in segments.
It's hard to remember the actual year that most of this went down. I'm pretty sure that the first clip in this first segment is the very first trick I filmed with my Digi8 camera that I got for my birthday in 1999, because I remember filming the festivities of 2000's New Years Parties.
Most of this is footage that I compiled into the 1st ever unofficial TDS Video. It was edited straight from cam to VCR, with a soundtrack and everything. I only made one copy which I gave to Micah Friedman for his (13th? 14th?) birthday. It is now lost. But I still have MOST of the clips on...The Footy Tape.
Points of interest: Lens cap scraping the ground, bucket hats, pickup truck graphics, DC shoes, The Nuge's cackle, the tennis court in Nompton before there was a skatepark, TBird's sweatpants, pre-hippie Micah Friedman in a green suit,and The Dirt.
