adding authentic distortion with a tweezer


This film was originally shot with a 100 mm macro lens on a canon 650D, the footage was then edited and recorded to VHS. The Tape was then played with the VCR's top cover taken off, I used tweezers to hold the tape at certain points to produce the glitches you see in the video.

The Film is influenced by Nostalgic memories that I have of the VHS cassette, it highlights the malfunctions and problems that the format is known for today.

Effects added by using a tweezer


I feel this is a much better way of creating distortion than adding it in After Effects, at least this way i'm affecting the actual tape
