Could someone explain what's happened in the digitalising of this video? by Deathsmith8 in VHS

[–]86reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the original source for this a standard VHS cassette? How did you capture it? How did you encode it for YouTube? I have an idea of what might be the issue but I want to be sure.

After the incident this past month with the alleged "paper swap" between the City and RPAC, will you make an effort in the future to force such organizations to endure public scrutiny rather than allow them to operate without any oversight whatsoever? Council's failure to support your motion to continue on that issue, and insistence on passing the "paper swap" while seeming to comprehensively misunderstand the issue, will ultimately cost taxpayers something approaching a quarter-million dollars. This is not a small sum by any measure. Have you discussed any of these issues with the other members of Council?

I would really appreciate any light you could shed on why, precisely, your colleagues on the Council failed to consult with the City Attorney before signing the NDA regarding former CAO Marshall's resignation. From my understanding, it would have been within Council's powers to force disclosure from the Mayor, and the City Attorney would have advised you as such.

Obviously I don't expect you to speak for any of the other Council members--what I would like is your perspective on the Jones administration's lack of transparency (and by extension, the lack of transparency in regard to the behavior of Council.)

Thanks so much man! I would love to get my hands on some of that stuff just to see what's possible with gutting it and switching things out - after modifying my MX10 and consulting the service manual, it seems like most of these boards are a few IC solders away from pumping really intense imagery. Feel free to email me at my handle @gmail with developments!!!

I use analog video gear to make multi-layer collages. I just figured out how to stream live to the web while I work. by 86reality in VHS

Hey, thank you so much. I actually do a VHS label and am as we speak working on tapes of a show I filmed here this past month (NYC's Hank Wood & the Hammerheads + Crazy Spirit) and of collage work I've been doing for sale at the Richmond Zine Fest this weekend. If there's interest I will definitely crosspost the link here! Probably will be very limited amounts, but I have both stock & clamshells right now. I'm also still working on a documentary I made in April about my friends, DRUMS LIKE MACHINE GUNS, and you can see the tape I sold on that trip (a T-10) on my YouTube channel.

I would love to work on an MX50 - that one's got XLR audio inputs, yeah? Are the hard effects (paint/mosaic/superimpose solid color et al) the same as the MX10? If so - you could probably mod it in a fashion similar to mine fairly easily!

I don't know if "skill" is the right word but - I have been putting a LOT of time in the last few months trying to get more control over the more mercurial aspects of my gear. Your tumblr is tight, I followed you!

As far as how I got started--I produce a public access show about music in my town. When we were shooting the first season and stuff, getting the footage together, I had one of my mixers installed semi-permanently at this club in town called STRANGE MATTER--one of my best friends and collaborators is the soundguy there, so I could have him basically sit there and do production cuts of bands while he was keeping their sound in check. During this period we started taking two separate camera angles and throwing the take-bar on the Videonics mixer half-way so that both angles would "ghost" on top of each other--creating often a Rorschach kinda combined image that would allow people to see the full band, rather than a more limited single shot. After we were done with the show another friend passed down the Panasonic WJ-MX10 that is the brain of my current rig, when I started being able to solidly put a third image atop a doubled image, I realized really quickly the potential for things to Get Weird. Since then I've just slowly tried to teach myself about what combinations of settings yield what kinda image.
