The failure of the RCA-Victor camera provides a focal point from which to examine the history of amateur film sound and how this short-lived camera mirrors and anticipates many of the problems that would unceasingly thwart attempts to bring sound to amateur film practice. To begin recovering the history of amateur sound production, I concentrate on how one amateur filmmaker, Archie Stewart, eagerly took up sound filmmaking (with the RCA-Victor camera) only to abandon it a few short years later. Stewart's amateur sound films of the 1930s are illustrative of the kinds of frustrations and limitations a keen and committed amateur filmmaker encountered.
