Mix Master: Vintage Video Wizardry From Film Days

Behold the Videonics Digital Video Mixer that helped create movie magic in Virgil Widrich's 2003 masterpiece 'Fast Film'! This chunky piece of analog hardware was the unsung hero behind those seamless stop-motion dissolves, working as a frame alignment wizard while the real capturing happened via DSLR. Look at all those tactile buttons and that joystick - back when interfaces had actual physical feedback instead of touchscreen gestures. iPad mini documented this piece of animation history in my Tyrolean hideout, complete with vintage sepia filter because nothing says 'retro tech' like Instagram-style processing.
