Minolta C-1E 1987 Camcorder promo video (complete and higher quality) atariman1988 2012-05-25 | This is an ultra cheesy 1987 promotional sales video for the Minolta C1-E camcorder. As well as having a laugh at the brick sized camcorder, just watch the 'acting' abilities of the actors - espcially the little lad's forced 'smile' he does throughout. I previously uploaded this video in two parts, but this is now in a single complete video and at a much higher quality than before. There's a little tape damage at the start, but it's OK after that.

Million Dollar Motor Car (Open University / BBC 1984) atariman1988 2011-03-20 | A fascinating, and very nostalgic, programme from 1984 used as part of an engineering course for the Open University. It shows car prototypes being used in Japan, and what sort of things were likely to be seen on cars of the future. Watch out for early test prototypes of GPS/Sat Nav, in-car entertainment systems, graphical dashboards, etc. Made even better by the excellent music of the Alan Parsons Project. Made in 1984 by the BBC for the Open University, this programme was still being used in 1988, which is when I recorded it. Of course, the rights to this programme remain with the OU and BBC. I'm not sure what they could do with it all these years on, but they do have the right to remove this video if they want to.
