In the late 1960s to early 1970s a company called Synchronex Corporation in the Big Apple sold super 8 movie cameras, audio recorders and movie projectors with a twist. Home movie buffs using their products could record sound on a tape recorder while shooting a home movie. The finished film and tape was then sent to Sychronex in NYC were the sound was added to the film in synchronization and the finished super 8 film could be projected on a super 8 projector with sound and the sound and filmed scene would be in perfect sync &#8220;just like it&#8217;s done in Hollywood&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This elaborate process disappeared a few years later when sound on super 8 film became common place eliminating the need for a tape recording and the process of synchronization of tape and film. A big thanks and tip of the hat to good friend George Dunbar for spotting this bit of photographic history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
