This page will serve as my Proof of Concept for this project.
I transfer digital media onto VHS Tape and create custom packaging in small scale batches.
Demo
[ DEMO REDACTED ]
Why Tape?
The cloud is the modern world's landfill, and I'd like to keep my place in the old world. The things worth holding onto deserve a fate better than instagram and youtube. Putting your favorite moments on tape gives potential for someone to find and watch your carefully crafted video as "found footage" long after you have died.
Physical media doesn't disappear when licensing deals change.
How It’s Done
Source → Master
Each video is encoded to DVD and routed through real VCR hardware onto a high quality NEW blank VHS tape.
Optional CRT Processing
I can create live analog noise upon request. Each glitch is genuine — captured from the signal path. If you're not interested in that distortion, no worries - we can also skip the signal path.
Packaging
Packaging allows for you to submit 3 to 4 images to fit within the e.w4ste template sleeve. (picture added here soon). 100% custom packaging (no e.w4ste template) is available upon request.
FAQ
- How much does it cost??? A safe estimated price for now is $20 per tape paid to me- you can charge what you want when reselling.
- What is the point? Alongside the preservation of media, this is a collector's item for fans of the artists involved.
This isn’t mass-produced. There’s no checkout.
You’ll know if this was made for you.
