If this isn't somebody from here, they probably should be!

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I have an idea that whoever it is at least speaks German, as the DVD and 8mm film has German writing. Any German forum members want to own up to this, now if we could only get Derann to release this as an 8mm print!

That's great. I was waiting for the disc to fly off the projector feed arm. Really funny [Big Grin]

I noticed the German title on the DVD, but the song is the fourth verse of "My country 'tis of thee", an American patriotic song. This is strange: A region 2 DVD plus a region 1 song!

(Note: I checked, it's not "God save the Queen".)

(Note also: I had to look it up, I had no idea "My country 'tis of thee" had more than once verse.)

The mystery deepens.....

that is brilliant, i think Chris tarrant should have that, maybe with a large TV audience it may remind people what film really is [Wink]

Isn't that (The Hunt For) Red October with Sean Connery?

Otherwise, that should be printed in super 8 and sold by Derann. Excellent comedy short as a feature presentation snipe to intro the media to your audience.

I contacted the producer of the video and he is a member of this forum from Germany, but not somebody who posts often.

He didn't state his name in the reply, so I assume he wants to remain anonymous.

It's funny, one of my film projects long in planning is a movie about Super-8, and I planned on creating a scene of me trying to jam a video cassette into a Super-8 camera, and concluding that "it will never catch on".

-this guy beat me to it!
