My name is Andrew Norman. I am an amateur media preservationist, and huge fan of collecting vintage technology and physical media. I am 24 years old (my birthday is March 23rd, 2001) and I'm on the autism spectrum. I do VHS and DVD (and occasionally LaserDisc and Blu-ray) openings and other kinds of stuff like that.

I used to have a channel called "SouthParkFan1997". I had around 1,100 subscribers on that channel, until it got terminated back in July 2018 for "spam and misleading content".

Have a nice day and enjoy my content!
And keep in mind that I'm not gonna be active all the time. I'm currently employed.

Hello. My "Balto" VHS opening got copyright-claimed by NBCUniversal. They blocked it worldwide because of the preview for "The Adventures of Timmy the Tooth".

I was planning on uploading the opening to the 1995 LaserDisc release of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but it has been copyright claimed by Fox and blocked worldwide. So, I decided to upload the video to Internet Archive.

Check the video out here: archive.org/details/butch-cassidy-and-the-sundance…

Looks like my "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" VHS opening has been blocked worldwide by NBCUniversal :| They blocked it because of the Universal and Imagine Entertainment logos at the beginning of the film.

Update: I decided to upload the opening to Internet Archive, although it's in 720p30 because I accidentally deleted the original 1080p60 file before it got copyright claimed.

This is my vintage Sony AVC-3250 black and white vidicon camera from the 1970's.
I bought this on eBay back in February last year for around $60. It came with the camera itself as well as the viewfinder on top and a cosmicar lens. I also bought some accessories, such as a zoom lens that costed $40, a tripod that costed $20 and a pack of UHF-male to RCA-female coaxial adaptors, which costed around $14. In total, it all costed $134. Although this camera was first sold in 1974, my camera was manufactured in December 1975.

Here are some test videos I made with the camera:
