Last time I bought Toy Piano and a Zither.

This time I found many vintage film cameras. The one I chose was in great condition and looked pitch perfect – it’s 8mm Revere Eight Camera.

Back home I found out that it was manufactured in 1940!
It winds with different speeds and makes interesting small clicks.

Knowing I will pitch it extremely I recorded it with Sennheiser MKH 8020 and Barcus Berry contact mic. Here’s how those two mics sound:

Here are recordings done with different film speeds, with both mics mixed:

Pitched down:

Pitched up:

And pitched even lower:

Recently I found this trick in Soundminer v4 (works in both Regular and Pro versions). You can go way beyond +200% speed, using + key. Spotting to ProTools doesn’t work above 200%, but you can record it with ReWire bus.

Here are +400% samples:

After recording normal work, I found that it makes interesting noises when shaked. Here are some samples pitched up:
