Wick showed up one year with a Betamax camcorder. Big clunky machine. He made most of his videos using this machine. My recollection is that Jentz and the WPW crew moved into camcorders after Wick. However, they purchased better equipment. I recall Wick telling me that he had 70 videos in the can (unreleased) and at that time he was still using the Betamax camcorder.
Wow, betamax. I'm surprised he was that up to date. Wouldn't surprise me if he was still using cartrivision.
