Video-Feedback Experiment

And now for something completely different... This is a psychedelic eye candy experiment i just remixed from 16 year old footage i took aiming a camcorder at a tv screen with a live feed, creating video-feedback. Edited in finalcut. B*ng H*ts recommended B4 viewing this one. WARNING: MAY CAUSE SEIZURES, NOT KIDDING! The song is "Rich Creamy Nougat" Performed by OBEY. Written by Sebastian O'Brien (used with permission). I guess i was always using Star Wars toys in my movies since childhood, but those Beta tapes no longer exist... This movie features a Rancor Monster dancing. It was originally shot to the music of the Butthole Surfers, but i don't have permission to use that, so i remixed it with the music from OBEY, a psychedelic rock band i played bass for in the mid 90s.

Do you just have to point the video camera at the TV, that's all?

this video combines 2 takes into a composite but basically yes. as long as its a live feed. i tweeked the tint during the raw recording, then tweeked it more during editing. You get one type of effect zooming in looking straight on, but it gets more a 3D vortex effect if you aim the camera at the screen from an angle. I've heard this could ruin your camera, but it never seemed to hurt mine. This one was done with a VHS camera from my High School a/v dept in 1990! Sorry Mr. Lajoie!

A little known band from Boston called Obey. Written by Sebastian O'Brien

I like this, I did the same thing in the early 90s. I ran that footage through a couple of filters and uploaded it to my channel. you should check it out.

This is really nice. Check mine out, I've never done this before, but I didn't it with a video camera and I used the zoom going in and out to get the effect I got.

Maybe if you can connect it with a live feed to the tv. Can phones do that these days?

[steviebboy69]

i have allways done this sort of thing too myself with my camera's

i have heard too that it can damage it, but and if there are people out there that know more and can confirm.

well it may be the old tube based camera , the ones with a tube to capture the image, like a little pic tube in reverse.

and it may have damaged the phosphor(spelling)?
