    I live where Bald Eagles are plentiful, literally in the thousands (Pacific Coast). It is hilarious to see them being chased by irate Seagulls.

    Thats true Red Tailed hawks have piercing screeches. I know I hear them all the time. They scream to awaken one soul

    If Franklin saw his country today, he’d probably see that the Bald Eagle is very fitting as a national symbol.

      What a moronic statement. If we were to use any animal instead name me one that cannot be criticized one way or another. How about instead of doing the leftist thing and focusing on negative aspects of everything American, you can realize that no nation ever in the history of the universe cannot be torn down, belittled and denigrated in as many ways as the leftards do and that every nation that has people will have flaws and try to take in the positive and the negative ? Unless you are perfect that is. Your statement is either misguided about the eagle or about the US, the greatest nation that has ever existed. Unless you can find another that is overall better.

    “A bird of bad character” because it steals other birds’ food, like Americans didn’t steal this land from Native Americans and call it their own…

      We didn’t steal the land from them. We fought for it and won. It has been happening throughout time. Countries fighting other countries and taking land. Get over it and stop with the mis-information.

How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987

Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever.

With professional-grade setups costing up to six figures at the time, the Videonics brought simple editing to the masses at a tiny fraction of the price… in theory. The reality of the Videonics video editing system was a jumbled mess of retro tech that took a near-miracle to make your kid’s 8th grade jazz band concert video look a little more polished.

And getting it all to work over 35 years later? It took 8 VCRs, 2 camcorders, 3 Videonics units and 4 remotes to create a 1987-era YouTube masterpiece. But in the end, it revealed the beauty and drive of the first-generation analog filmmakers and videographers who made YouTube possible for all of us.

Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech.

Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and the company he founded on the success of the Polavision, I need to figure out how to get the thing to work… and only one man in the world could help me.

I traveled to Vienna, Austria to meet Florian “Doc” Kaps – the man behind ‘The Impossible Project’ that saved Polaroid from the dustbin of history. With his guidance and his private store of old Polaroid video tapes, perhaps I would be able to record a modern YouTube video with my vintage Polavision camera.

Through it all, Doc immersed me into his world of analog technology and the philosophy behind his mission to re-integrate analog into our daily lives. We cut lacquer records, we felt the fires of an analog restaurant, and we spent too much time trying to resurrect a relic of the past – because technology, vintage and modern, is all about people.
