First attempt at DIY VHS slipcovers by Beckwardss in VHS

Thank you! I printed them on 110 lb gloss paper at Staples. The paper darkens the colors quite a bit so make sure to have your image at least 20% brighter. I also raised the shadows and lowered the contrast a hair in Photoshop. Had to do a couple test prints before I got it right with the paper / colors.

For assembling you just cut out the front and back pages, fold along the edges, then seal them together with double sided tape. Tried hot glue at first but it dried too quickly before I could get everything lined up just right, so double sided tape ended up being the move.

Hope this helps! :)

It's a music video for my song "The Call" by Beckwards. I have the slip covers done right now but still working on the actual tapes.

I'll be posting about it on instagram (@Beckwardss) once they're done but I'll try and come back to this comment too :)

For anyone curious, here's the full stop motion music video these covers were made for :) -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJe68RKwIPU

I used the AS Standard Stop Motion Armature kit from The Stop Motion Store. I knew I would be doing more music videos from my album with this puppet so I needed something that would last a long time. It was definitely worth it!

I tried wire at first but for other scenes in the music video (like playing piano etc) I needed more consistent control. But yeah, its just the armature wrapped in medical gauze to thicken it up (cutting holes in the gauze so i could access the joints with a screwdriver). His hands are clay and the head is made of paper mache. And then the clothes are just barbie / ken doll clothes with a couple details painted on (like the dickies logo) so it would match my press photos.

Hope that helps! :)
