Trying the "rack-over" method with my vintage movie camera

In this video, we dive a little deeper into the forgotten craft of the "rack-over" method used in Old Hollywood for more than half a century, as I demonstrate what it was like to shoot this way using my own vintage movie camera! If this sounds familiar, yes I did very quickly hit on this topic in a previous video, but I felt like I didn't do it justice. Besides, I didn't have a good way of reproducing the technique - UNTIL NOW - as I acquired an original accessory for my camera called "the Focusing Alignment Gauge". Heartfelt thanks to my daughters for helping me and for causing me to overreact with joy to the footage we shot over the Holidays. GOODBYE 2020! Shout out to Origin8Video and their video for Art Adams "The Canyon", where I pulled the on-set demonstration of the Bell & Howell 2709 racking over, as well as a HUGE shout-out to Sam Dodge and his fantastic insight on historic cameras. AMAZING stuff and thank you for making this available to the filmmaking community!
