Subject: Fisher Price PXL 2000 Pixel-Vision

Oh my. I discovered this beautiful toy tonight. Has anyone ever had one of these? Were they happy with it? I checked on Ebay, and they're pretty expensive now, but I'm definitely going to save up for one.

Here is a video that was just about completely made with a Fisher Price PXL 2000 Pixel-Vision. I'm absolutely in love with the haunting feel it creates.

That's beautiful, but you're getting too predictable, Bethany.

I say... I don't know what I say. You can probably make your own! Doooo itttt.

...What are you talking about, predictable? I like how it records things....

You can do the same thing with just about any $200 dvd video camera and Windows Movie maker. :)

I think he meant to express hope that you bid on the camera, and were successful in acquiring one :)

Speaking of which, it's been a while.  Didja get one?  Pretty amazing what they were able to do with conventional cassette tape as a recording medium.

If and when you do, know that the PXL-2000 is highly hackable (the hack where someone uses a modern PVR in place of the casette is pretty neat...) 

In the meantime, you've also got almost a whole year to come up with something to show at next year's PXL THIS film festival, typically held in SoCal in May.
