Panasonic AG-450 "A Rose"

This was shot entirely on a Panasonic AG-450. The AG-450 is An SVHS camcorder from around 1994. This camera was used as a 'Reporter' camcorder back in the early 90's by major networks. In this short film, it was shot without the use of a tripod.

This video is for reference and artistic purposes only.

ENJOY!

@LTOWN1993 Sure! Tell me what you want and I'll do my best!

@LTOWN1993 You're very welcome! The song is from Seal, it's a different version from them.

@LTOWN1993 Yup, no conversion, it shoots in one mode, or the other.

[RET80]

@LTOWN1993 Sure thing! Well, the camera has two modes. It has the standard VHS mode, which will work with normal VHS tapes, then it has SVHS mode, where it works with only those special SVHS tapes. If you film using VHS mode with a normal VHS tape, you can use it on a VCR. :) Otherwise, if you film using SVHS mode with the 'special' tapes, then you'll need a SVHS VCR.

@LTOWN1993 It uses Super VHS, I use a USB converter from Roxio (they sell them at Best Buy) to convert VHS signal (the red, white and yellow RCA plugs) to a digital signal.

Pretty clear image. I have a few SVHS cameras on my channel.
