If you shoot some time capsule movies...they may live long after you kick off.

[Daniel D. Teoli Jr.]

Over at r/DataHoarder they had a discussion about what will happen to their data hoards after they kick off. It is mainly kids at Reddit and most of the replies said they want it to die with them, along with the dead man switches and crap they use to destroy their archive when they kick off. They sound like a bunch of perverts trying to hide their porn stash!

If you like your work to live on, shoot some time capsule material. It is routinely the highest price realized 16mm auctions on eBay for home movies. Here is a recent example. You can also work it into your films if you are not a historian. I bid on it but was nowhere in the ballpark. Some GD stock footage company with a Lasergraphics bought it or maybe a museum in NYC or maybe even a rich film nut. 

 

 

I would have loved to get some footage of gasholders. They were all around L.A., NYC and the entire USA. I collect gasholders in my Archive.
