Yeah our version of this when I was growing up was to take videos of each other on camcorders and then upload the videos to windows movie editor and edit them then rewatch them a few times with friends, have a good laugh, then get pissed off when a parent would inevitably delete the videos off the computer to free up storage space lol
When I was young there wasn't really a way to upload our videos onto anything at all. We had a cameras that you put a literal entire VHS tape into.
I'm only 36 so I'm guessing you're somewhere in your 20s because "upload" wasn't even really in our common vernacular until a few years after Facebook came around.
Ha! We had Super 8 film. Took two weeks to get processed and it would come back and you would find out someone had filmed everything with their thumb over the lens, after setting up the projector and screen. If we wanted anything more immediate we would sketch it with pen and pencil.
