The article talks about the history of video and in the early days how it was an elitist’s profession. The first home movies were made using film, and the consumer film camera only came out for special occasions. For many one roll of film would last for an entire year. When Video first arrived it was a costly hobby or business. The first camcorder was ranged from $1,500-$2,300 and the footage was horribly lacking in quality. Video has evolved tremendously from its cumbersome and expensive beginnings.
If you go to the link, it will show you a timeline of the history of video. In 1986 Videomaker launched its first issue in June.
I think that it was cool looking at where the type of video we use today came from and how it started.
