... 'Nagra 4.2' reel to reel audio tape recorder - picked this up years ago from a former 'NFL Films' cameraman who ran his own production company - he had upgraded some equipment and this was "payment" for some production work we assisted with - was more than satisfied... in film production film and audio is recorded separately but in "real time" double system synchronization - that's the purpose of those "Hollywood Clapper Boards" you've seen forever; to facilitate "synchronization" of film and audio in later post production...
... here's a (bit dusty) vintage consumer 'Regular 8mm Film Editor' (an old '1969 Super Bowl' film short included) that's still in possession... amped by countless hours viewing 'American Sportsman' and the like, and together with a young buddy, we used to film small game hunts as kids using an old spring-wound 'Kodak Brownie 8' movie camera - did a pretty good job editing them on this thing into short two to three minute films... we each got to be as quick with a camera as with a shotgun trying to catch the action - would later record singe-track sound (gunshots, rustling scrub brush and ambient location) on to a tape recorder and played it in (poorly synced) audio film accompaniment for the "audience"... remember that we made a pretty good 'Pheasant Hunting' film with a few good "kill shots"... all that stuff is long gone now...
... the local fields of scrub brush used to be loaded with 'Ring Neck Pheasant' back then - if ya' didn't return home with at least two or three, ya' definitely went thru a box of 20 gauge shotgun shells - lots of fun...

... for some reason they (the wild pheasant) all disappeared from these parts during the 1970's...
