This is the thread where you simply list the titles of all the films/shows you made with your family's camcorder as a preteen...

ah... memories of some truly dire films (so many of them near shot-for-shot remakes of other horror films) made just so I wouldn't start asking my male friends if they wanted to suck my dick...

Shadows in the Sky
Wednesday Night Live
Deadly Spells*
Cole's Puppet Show
House*
Rock 'n' Roll with Cole
Ouija*
Our Faces of Death
When a Stranger Calls Back... Again
House: The Theatrical Release
Suspense
The Burn
Quake
Sasquatch
King Kong
Shipwreck
Windstorm
Skate-O-Rama
Rock 'n' Roll with Cole 2
The Cards of Misfortune
Untitled Funny Movie
Fat Workout
Vietnam Charlie's Apartments and Cutlery

* = episodes of our own "Tales from the Crypt"-style horror anthology series called "Midnight Hour" or "Nightmare Tales" (I can't really remember and it always changed anyway)

my family didn't have a camcorder.

The only one that had a title was "The Incredible Shrinking Boy," which made liberal use of the "film a scene with oneself in it, rewind, and tape over yourself walking towards to camera to turn it off with the same scene without you in it to make it look like you disappeared" trick, as well as the "walk holding the camera right next to the ground to show the point of view of a shrunken boy" trick.

KORN
MARIONETTES
HADES

although these were made with a friend's camcorder.

― gunther heartymeal, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 22:59 (twenty years ago)

I forgot a couple:

Buried Alive
Schindler's Shortlist

I remember that disappearing trick. I think I did a whole magic show with it where I kept turning my friends into my schnauzer puppies and back again.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:04 (twenty years ago)

My family also did not have a camcorder. I still don't. I guess cocksucking is my only recourse.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:05 (twenty years ago)

Alas, we had no camcorder but I did some pretty elaborate radio shows on the old Panasonic cassette recorder... Zero Mostel followed by Andy Gibb was typical of my eclectic third-grade programming.

― andy --, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

Oh my god, the radio shows are another thread entirely! I still shake my head at some of the racist crap me and my sisters spouted off while imitating Yan Can Cook. In our version, it was the Yan stand-in forcing his supplicant wife to cook chop suey for him every single day. His name was Chin-su, and she was Ching-su. Or something like that.

I wonder what my underage sex life might've been like had I not wasted so much time on the crappy filmmaking.

I did not have a camcorder, but was an active participant in:
Attack of the Giant Red Freak
Tornado!: The Weenie of God
Mulder and Scully Vs. the Wolfman
and the trailers for Hackers 2 and Attack of the Mutant Transvestite Barbies

We never had a camcorder, but my friend Clay had one of those Fisher-Price Pixelvisions that I recorded some random things on. No titles though...

Hijack in an Elevator Shaft ("This elevator will go to Pakistan!")
(Planned sequels: Hijack on a Cycle Path ["This bicycle will go to Pakistan!"] and Hijack on a Sidewalk ["These sneakers will go to Pakistan!"].)

Why Did the Snorppa Film Fail? ("Snorppa" was an ancient Finnish god we invented.)

We also had a story for The Bloody Inheritance of Baron von Carlsberg, but that was never finished.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 20:05 (twenty years ago)

I also made radio shows with different friends when I was a lot younger. A continuing feature was called "The Adventures of Pee Man, Poo Man & Bat's Fart".

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 20:09 (twenty years ago)

When I was very young a friend told me all Chinese were called Ching, Chang, Chong, or Ibalex.

I believed him.

The Blob That Ruined The Fashion-Show
It Lived In The Backyard

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

Basically, every time we got the camera out, it became an excuse for my sisters to run away from me screaming while I was wrapped up in trashbags or something.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

I made a lot of songs with my friend Aaron when we were young where we took turns, one of us making guitar noises with our mouth, the other singing. Some of our songs:

Water Warriors
Heart Attack
We Are Going To Win
Hotrod

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 20:28 (twenty years ago)

Was the Fisher-Price Pixelvision the one that recorded on regular audio casettes? I wish I had one of those now, that thing was great

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 22:22 (twenty years ago)

I made sci-fi radio shows on a saisho mono tape recorder.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

this one was too poor

Yup, and they filmed that B & W part in Slacker on one.

I totally did the songs/skits on audiotape thing all the time with friends. A "best of" comp still exists, I'll convert to mp3 someday...
