It would be a lot easier in a film camera, but the hassle and time
delays (and cost) of developing film makes film impractical.


Black and white film can be developed in a few minutes without a
darkroom. You move it from the camera into the light-tight developing
tank inside a black changing bag, then you can pour the developer,
stop and fixer in and out under normal indoor lighting. 35mm film is
fairly easy to wind onto the reel by feel but I needed some practice
with 16mm.

Maybe you could use an old computer for video capture. My Canon
doesn't power down when connected to USB.
