I went to a PXL-2000 film festival about 15 years ago in Vancouver which was absolutely brilliant. It's amazing how creative people get when forced to deal with constraints.

Speaking of constraints, the camera apparently had a problem with its RF filter, which resulted in a lot of static when you were recording to the audio tape. Someone figured out you could hack in your own RCA video out connector, so most of the films shot with the camera have been modded to get a better picture. Here's a link on how to mod one: http://users.speakeasy.net/~joem/Pxl/guide.html

My best friend had one of these as a kid and we made epic backyard GI Joe movies.

Incidentally he now works as a film editor.

That's amazing to me, I had no idea video cams were able to store video on one of the old audio cassettes. I'd always assumed higher density tape was required.

I used to own one of those as a kid. I used it to create stop animation of my toys. My family still talks about that to this day.
