I recently bought an old vhs camcorder at a thrift store. Spent the past week getting some new tapes, un-jamming the old one it came with, getting new batteries and wiring up a portable dvr. Now I’ve got an old video camera that takes some nice crusty video and I can easily capture the tape effects too. Now I gotta figure out what I want to record with it. I’ve done photography for over a decade, but I’ve never really been a video person. I’m also interested in circuit-bending, but I’m reluctant to risk it after the effort I put into this camera.
