A particularly busy week here at the Thunderbean HQ, full of news. More on SOME of this news next week, as well as some new transfers.<\/p>\n
But for now, another romp down memory lane. The topic for this week is: What do we all want and why, anyway??!?!<\/p>\n
When I was a kid, I remember really wanted the ‘Polavision’ Camera and Projector I saw advertised. You could shoot super 8 film, and then rewind the film and play it- instantly! <\/p>\n
Now, of course, as a 9 year old in 1977, there wasn’t such thing as ‘taping’ cartoons on TV, so when I saw this new technology, I was astonished. I have dreams of taping Toyland Premiere<\/em><\/a> (1934) when it ran on rare occasion between the other cartoons that were part of the Woody Woodpecker show. To me, the whole purpose of getting the camera wasn’t to make my own films, it was to somehow have that ONE film, filming it with that Polaroid System. Considering what I do these days, maybe, in some ways, we still are who we are through and through. I really wouldn’t have been able to tell you this would be some kind of life obsession, to find that rare film, whatever it is.<\/p>\n
