Handycam

Then we get Smash 2.

Interior showroom, Captain Clark's day, Handycam footage in parentheses.

So now this is telling us what we're gonna get is Handycam.

This is important to see, you know, if you write found

footage, if you write, you know, horror things where we're using different media, whether it be ring cameras or, I don't know, a surveillance camera from a balloon, um it's cool to see you know different ways to do it here it's just a matter of putting it in the in the header and with the parentheses he's like he's letting us know this is all handycam footage and we continue with close on a table lamp okay this is a camera direction and now we're going to describe the lamp

Lovely.

Less than a minute into the first episode of the TV4 show, we meet Craig, a shaggy-haired young man in shorts, sandals, and a T-shirt with a Handycam pressed up to his eye.

He's meeting three of his five new flatmates and interrogating them in the process.

Okay, my name's Craig Wright.

Our local take on the watch-people-living-together show in '97 was much more low-key than either of those examples.

For our version, one of the flatmates was basically an embedded film crew.

With his simple Handycam and shotgun mic, it was largely on Craig to capture the goings-on of his flatmates.

I'd cycled through India and made a documentary about it, and that got me into the industry.

And from there, I realized, you know, I really, really enjoyed the production aspect of making movies, getting your hands on a tape.

Sony Handycam camera.

And at that time, my dad and I, we really enjoyed building computers.

And so we learned what a capture card was.
