Blue Flames - Negative Ions (Video Feedback)

Video Feedback with VHS camera, B&W CRT monitor and cheap video processor.

Loop from camera through Sansui VX99 processor to monitor, using a "video art" effect and riding the master fade.
Music added afterwards, (-) Ions by Tool, audio doesn't quite match video motion but the most fitting soundtrack I could find for now. One day I'll have time to plan these things, for now it's about seeing what happens and finding "happy surprises"

VHS camera and CRT monitor bought for $5 each from Tiny's Green Shed, mixer and SCART adapters cost $30 all up from ebay.
Captured with Leadtek USB dongle in to ARCsoft Showbiz, video assembled with Windows Paint and Live Movie Maker. Pro Quality stuff, of course. Cardboard box was used to block out ambient light, it's much easier working on these experiments at night!

The first video clip with this camera+monitor can be seen here:

There'll be plenty more to come.
