Post 773 - Archival VIDEO from 1977

This was considered AN EVENT because the portable reel-to-reel 1/2 inch tape could record live and give instant gratification for WATCHING IMMEDIATELY, but it HAD SOUND.  Super 8mm film just couldn't give me that, so it was a novelty, and the A/V department at Ferris State College allowed a couple of students to check out this 30 pound portable recorder and camera for a weekend.  This footage was for a "Pharmacy Fun Night" (once a year, we were permitted to have fun) and we ran all over the building searching for a location before trying out a "man on the street" moment.  45 seconds remains of this epic!
