Anybody else do this? You hook the game boy camera into the super game boy. You hook the super game boy into the SNES. You run the video out composit cable (the yelllow one) into the video in feed of a VCR.

Then, you get a cassette recorder plus a 3.5mm audio cord on one end, and composit audio on the other end (it’s going to be red and black, but you can hook them up just fine to the red and white inputs).

You record whatever the audio is supposed to be on cassette first. Then you rewind, start recording, on VCR, hit play on the cassette, and act out the scenes. Trying to match up the voice up to the lips.

…I made a lot of weird videos as a teenager in the late 90s. One was just a bunch of action figures talking about pasta. As you slowly learn that one of the action figures is racist against Italians.

Another was me doing pro wrestling moves with my buddy, until one of us hit each other in the gut so hard, that he started spraying poo out of his ass (despite still wearing pants). We used chocolate syrup for the poo, because if it’s good enough for hitchcock, it’s good enough for me!

Anyone else do this?

    Is this Brendan Small’s Lemmy account?

    I guess not, but only because even the kid in his show had better equipment/production values than you’re describing, LOL.

      I worked with what I had in 1998. Home cameras back then were EXPENSIVE, and we didn’t have cell phones with cameras back then.

        Of course! I didn’t mean it as criticism, just as commentary at how reminiscent of Home Movies your story is.
