I’ve got a pretty interesting video format collection consisting of animated, live action and stop motion works. Not only have I also learnt from big mistakes, I am unintentionally preserving the various kinds of forgotten pop culture that are being lost to the sands of time. A healthy amount of preservation piracy is key!
The old formats
My sole Cartrivision is of the documentary classic Jesse Owens Returns To Berlin, as it is one of the first American films in home video history.
My only VHD is of a movie compilation of the groundbreaking OVA Dallos, which itself rhymes with Dallas.
My sole Video 2000 is of the Canadian comedy classic Meatballs.
I need to grow a VHS collection, so my sole VHS as of this writing is for an episode of the HK Cantonese dub to the legendarily notorious anime Super Pig.
I have a Laserdisc collection, so my only film Laserdisc is of Columbia Pictures’ Hamlet.
I have a small VCD collection, so my sole complete Asian VCD is of the Taiwanese Mandarin dub to two Popeye short films.
