Fantastic car race footage of today filmed using a 1968 Super8 camera

Thanks TobinL @vector and @euansmith for your kind words. I had a great time shooting and editing this film and I’ll continue to make more like it.

Also thanks to Grey_Devil @atl and @babVU98i.
I was going to thank everyone in one post but it won’t let me mention more than 2 users.

Cheers,
Nick S

That would be the forum permissions for brand new users. Just showing up and posting is thanks enough for this band of mutants. You are good.

Glad you found us, hopefully this footage has opened some opportunities for you but either way good luck with whatever you end up doing next!

I don’t care for auto racing at all but that was a fantastic experience. It was fun trying to spot things that would definitely or probably be out of place in 1968 - car makes, URLs, highly tattooed people, lots of baseball caps(maybe). I wonder how easily it would fool people who don’t realize that it wasn’t made 50 years ago.

I agree. For anyone who cares, the two main fonts are:

  1. American Purpose Casual 2 (seems identical to FTY SPEEDY CASUAL NCV)
  2. AHDN (based on the Beatles’ album A Hard Day’s Night)

Both are free.
