I am wondering why the PC-FX video isn't on the site's main page.

Because I've been too lazy to update it :P

Just watched it, and though I am by no means a professional critic, all I can say is "WOW!!".  Your passion comes through loud and clear, actually had a tear in my eye after watching this!

Excellent job!!

(HD 720p available)

Film description
Pcenginefx.com presents, a Aaron Nanto film: "The NEC PC-FX: A Retrospect". Featuring the 32-Bit NEC PC-FX game console and games, this film takes you on a unique journey of what this rare console is all about.

Shot during December 2009 in 1080i/30 @ 16:9 aspect ratio with the Sony HDR-FX1. Post processing & finishing done with Adobe CS4 Master Collection. Camera rigs used: 8' Studio 1 Jib Arm, Bogen / Manfrotto 501 Pro Video Fluid Head Tripod, self-made 10' dolly & 3' Glidetrack HD Camera Slider.

For people on the forum, this is a total re-edit of the "The PC-FX: A Devotional Film" which I released here back in late December 2009.  In a rare case, I was unable to upload the original film to YouTube back then and wanted to make it available for more people to see as well as improve the edit/presentation.  Enjoy!

Tell me about your self-made dolly.  Also, I like your fonts.

The original video file has a date of September 2009, not December.  :)

The dolly was quite easy...made it years ago out of a 4x4 piece of plywood, 8 skateboard wheels (2 on each corner) and two 10' PCV pipes from Home Depot for the dolly to track on.

I need to build myself something like that.  It works very well for your videos.  I have a Steadicam, but no dolly.

GORGEOUS!

1) I loved the first shot of the software, where camera is in tight on box, but then you pull back and see rows of games in background and foreground. There is a great sense of depth in this sequence! :)  You have a similar shot later (but the games are stacked) and it's as if the camera is traveling backward and down a temple of games. Very nice depth there as well.

2) I would have loved if you stuck an "NEC" badge over the VIZIO tag on the television :)

3) I think the game footage meshes nicely with the "still life" shots of the hardware/software artifacts. I think it was great to film from the TV, it really works well, and reminds us that the PC-FX is a CONSOLE to be played in our living rooms and not emulation from a computer.

4) When the lid on the CD-ROM drive closes, I realized that your PC-FX was self-aware! Suddenly, I cringed and was haunted by visions of HAL 9000.
