As you may be aware I am planning on filming quite a bit of footage on the upcoming Scumrun rally in May.
One of my hair brained schemes is to build an old school video system into the car. I will have a fair bit of modern digital shenanigans with me as well but I want to put cameras where they just shouldn't be and will likely get unavoidably mullered in the process.
I'm ideally looking to create a feeling of ubiquitous viewpoint from within the car. A live edit suite at 100mph if you will...
To do this I've been on the hunt for old video equipment for a while now...so far I've accumulated various Hi8 and vhs-c handicams from the 90s (all notably with hi end lenses, mostly sony carl zeiss) These will have their video and audio outputs component cabled into a switch box in the dashboard before the final signal being sent to a Bang & Olufsen Beocord VHS recording unit.
So old school, analogue but quality kit is the plan!
I am waiting for bits and pieces to arrive before I set it all up in my lounge (photos will ensue) and run some testing.
Then I need to work out how to build it all into the car...that will be a whole other story!
Current Bug total camera count for the rally is up to 6 so far...
