Are there any movies shot with an analog video camera around?

I'm not entirely clear if you mean shot-on-video or transmitted live.

There aren't many shot-on-video TV-Movies I can recall, but "The Invasion of Carol Enders" with Meredith Baxter springs to mind. Robert Goulet also had a tv version of "Brigadoon." In the golden age of TV, Mary Martin starred in "Peter Pan" twice on TV -- the first was a live b/w transmission (like many TV programs of the time), the second videotaped in color and annually broadcast on the Peacock, NBC.

The thing with traditional video is that it was more difficult to edit than film -- editing video was virtually impossible prior to the '70s, and it then remained commonplace for sitcoms, variety shows, dramas and soap operas for decades, as the takes were long and cameras multiple.

By the '80s, some wannabe-cinematic anthology shows like "Twilight Zone" and "Freddy's Nightmares" were shot and edited on video. Quality-wise, they really look crummy today, so it's probably for the best that most telefilms lived up to thier name.

Thanks for reply and information. What I had in mund was shot on video. If it was transmitted live, I guess it would be more like a theatre.

I just hope these films and series are transferred to some digital medium, to prevent them from gradually fading away. Then there are some examples on both episodes from TV-series, like Dr. Who, and at least one movie, that were considered lost, but later saved because some had taped it on video when transmitted on television.

As we know, there are three ways to shoot a movie; with film, video or digitally. And it seems like video movies are the rarest ones. The future belongs to digital movie making, which would make the analog stuff, film or video, interesting for future generations. The quality isn't always the best, but everything has its charm.

Askur, in the 1970's, there were a few Tv movies that were shot on videotape instead of film:

1. Sandcastles (Bonnie Bedelia, Mariette Hartley, Jan-Michael Vincent) but the vhs and dvd versions were 'transferred-to-film' to try to make it look more like an ordinary movie.
2. Invasion of Carol Enders (Meredith Baxter)
3. Come Die with Me (Eileen Brennan)
4. Shadow of Fear (Tom Selleck)
5. Nightmare at 43 Hillcrest (Jim Hutton, Mariette Hartley)

I've also seen a few independent theatrical movies shot on videotape:

6. What Alice Found (Judith Ivey)
7. Julia and Julia (Kathleen Turner)
8. Title to Murder (Maureen McCormick, Christopher Atkins)
9. Love Don't Come Easy (Christopher Atkins)

I honestly never like the look of movies shot on videotape. To me it looks like a glorified soap opera.

Thanks. I guess there is a reason why so few movies were made that way, but it's also a little nostalgic. Almost like the early xerox process that is no longer in use in animation, where the drawings are printed as black lines on the cels.

"Santee" (1973) starred Glenn Ford and was one of the first feature films to be shot on tape. It was also the first Western to be shot on tape.

Interesting. It should be mentioned in the trivia, if it isn't mentioned there already. I notice there is a list on the net where all the movies made with the 3-Strip Technicolor process is mentioned. The same should be the case with movies made with other forms of technology and processes. There is a section for most of imdb's movies called "Technical specifications". Why not make it possible to click on the each specification, and get a list of all the titles made that way? There is a lot of interesting sides of movies, and one of them is how they were made, especially when made with pre-digital equipment and technology no longer in use.
