We debuted a new dead-media project at the Found Footage Festival on Saturday: VHS to Vinyl. To make these bootleg records, Joe rips old movies from VHS tapes, creates “soundtracks” comprised of music and audio snippets from the films, then cuts them to vinyl. The Festival was an ideal place to launch the project. We felt at home with the other vendors, who had also made art inspired by their favorite movies. (And lots of them were selling VHS tapes, too—Joe made sure to pick up a few for future soundtracks, including The Dark Crystal.) We’d like to thank Tim at Tapes from the Crypt for hosting the vendors!
Enjoy this short film Joe made visiting the other vendors at the Found Footage Festival with his PXL-2000 pixelvision Video Camera.
