From Dan’s Daily:
I was recently talking to a friend who runs a film production company. We chatted about the huge amount of archival footage he has amassed over the past 16 years.
One interesting thing he shared was that video quality advances so quickly that footage older than 8 years old is generally no longer usable on modern projects.
About a year ago my dad wanted to show the kids a recording he made of my high school performance of The Wizard of Oz (I was the Tin Man).
He originally recorded it with a VHS camcorder, then ported it over to DVD at some point, and we were watching it on a 4K TV.
It did not feel like you were right there in the APHS gymatorium.
This post got me thinking about how the tech we use to capture moments doesn’t hold on to them very long. But maybe for some things that’s okay. We don’t last all that long, either.
