Title: Eurofurence 3 - The Lost Tape
Post by: Cheetah on 25.03.2015, 10:50:35
This is the earliest known Eurofurence footage, found by Cheetah on an 18 year old analog 8mm video tape. It is random, shaky, and shows nothing spectacular - but it's a unique glimpse into the past. We present to you exactly what was on that tape, mostly unedited. Let's see how many known faces you can spot :)

*LOL*

Damn you caught me :)  I was kinda hoping I could sneak this by without anybody noticing :)  My problem was - this was the ONLY picture I had (or could reasonably create) that is related to the narration. The rest is just filler without any direct connection to the narration, it's just there to somehow establish the location and the time. I originally had the tape appear at the appropriate moment in the monologue, but then I had the problem that once the narration and the picture stream connected, I couldn't go back to showing unrelated images. Once the connection is established you'd expect it to stay in context after that - and I had no material to do that. I tried a few alternatives (leaving it out completely, altering the text to mention the tape again at the very end), but the current version actually felt like the lesser evil. Then it was 4 in the morning, and I wanted the damned thing out :)

Yeah, I gotcha. There are a couple alternatives, but to be honest, they would've been a lot more artistic and would have required a couple days of work. So this was indeed the best alternative, or lesser evil. :)

Strange to see how many of us still had HAIR back then.
