I would've recorded it but the cellphone wasn't around at that time. Bats in the Philippines are larger.

I had a baby and momma bat fly into my living room one night. The momma bat flew out. But baby bat got lost. I looked at the top of my recliner and suddenly baby bat was crawling from the top back of the recliner. Just then momma flew back in then baby and momma flew back out.

Right on!
As a retired talent manager for Star Wars, retired personal photographer for the late Actor/Bodybuilder Dave Prowse aka the original Darth Vader (Dave wore the costume). Now I'm making Experimental Horror Films. This means I have to write then read a script.

Nice! Very 1970's. What synth keyboard brand is that please.

Most Synthwave sounds were popular in the U.S.A. from the 70's- early 80's. It's always been in demand to create theme music and sound effects during those days for Italian plus American Horror films.

Check with film school(s) closest to you. Speak with the film teacher concerning your story. A documentary would be a wise choice.

As a retired talent manager for Star Wars talent I got to meet John Carpenter years ago. He was a total jerk. Some are like that and in more ways than one. Yet, best just to enjoy the work of these Artists separately.

My point is that the vintage movie cameras of yesteryear Bolex, Fujica even Arriflex would be outrageously expensive to be built the same way. Being all metal, mostly metal and the work on the component boards being mostly top notch. Worst stereos & VCR's were Fisher.

Concerning vintage movie cameras I repair and film with I don't believe Bolex, Fujica any company ever expected filmmakers today would have an interest in these cameras. However, most models were built so strong. That's remarkable.

When I was young checking on service technician jobs it was quickly decided to open my repair shop. That did well. Big down side was dealing with customers. Even when explaining an issue (in basic terms) politely at times it didn't work. Some customers were just rude, others polite.

True that's a pain to work in. Long ago there was a company titled: Circuit City that sold small and large electrics. They had a time limit for technicians repairing units something crazy like 20 min. And if a technician in house couldn't repair the unit in that time the unit was unrepairable.

I've been servicing vintage movie cameras (VCR's) back in the day, Sony Walkman etc for over 35 years. Water damage is really the worst. With stereos, VCR's, computers people tend to put their drinks on them. Then that soda, cup of coffee gets turned over on the unit. It's then cleaning+jumper time.

I've been servicing vintage movie cameras (VCR's) back in the day for over 35 years. On my YouTube channel Paul Morbid it's strongly suggested to send a vintage movie camera, Sony Walkman etc to a service technician b4 using them. Most repairs today are vintage equipment.

I repair and film with vintage movie cameras. On my YouTube channel Paul Morbid it's urged in sending a vintage movie camera to a service technician for repair/servicing b4 filming with a camera. No vintage movie camera operates perfectly b4 an overhaul or CLA aka Clean Lube and Adjustment.

Filmmakers such as myself are film/analog lovers. Then there's digital creators. These are to be respected as well. I prefer grainy, scratchy film that can be manipulated by hand. To me, film is easy to work with. Movies that are crystal clear are too pretty for my taste.

Experimental Filmmaking hasn't changed. Only thing that has changed since the early days about the genre is that far more markets to showcase works are available. Being online as many know. Back in the 70's and before my generation viewed films of the late great Artists at school and universities.

Right on. True audiences for the underground genre will seek their desires. Years ago in managing Star Wars talent the trick of Hollywood movies is to continue churning out remakes. Because much less advertising is needed. The title sells itself. Star Wars, Batman.

The Experimental, Student, Underground, Indie film boom is here. As always these films have usually been showcased in Museums, schools and Universities. Today filmmakers (like myself) shoot on film. Plus now Digital Directors create impressive work. These days our movies can be shown anywhere.
