But were you pictured as you compiled your own film or took part in video link technology? We have 9 reminders of video and film stars from South Tyneside.
Some of them show the talented people who were behind the camera as they recorded great scenes. Others show people across the borough as they used video link technology in years gone by.
If you were a dab hand in the digital age years ago, we might just have captured you on film.
