One of my ex-pupils made some of the last Gandolfi cameras before the business closed in 2017 and I recollect him saying a couple of years ago when I caught up with him that none of the original plans and templates were ever kept - Rob

Really good find.

After googling, I think there is a slightly better transfer of the film on YouTube:

Seems to have more chroma. (looks like it was done on a Cintel Mk2, and complete with plop on 4 for the cogniscenti )

Thanks for posting, E.

Brilliant! I really enjoyed watching that. I wonder if anyone on here as ever made something like that. It would be an excellent thing to try.

This week i bought the gandolfi family business dvd which is 90 mins long
That was quite interesting not too much about woodwork though
A funny bit where one of the brothers was describing how people annoyed him on the phone and how a royal once rang asking for one of his cameras only to be told there was a 5 year waiting list and the royal saying surely that wont apply to me ? The brother said sure does and put the phone down
