VHS Post MTV

VHS 3 Stack

In 20 YEARS OF MADNESS, we follow the 30MOM crew as they make a new episode of the show. Producer Jerry White Jr. decided to shoot the whole thing on analog video, primarily using a free VHS camera he was given, as well as others picked up for cheap on ebay and craigslist. While this choice was met with initial skepticism by many of the cast, no one can argue that the new footage “looks like 30 MINUTES OF MADNESS.”

And the number of people embracing VHS keeps growing! We posted a few days ago about Oscar® nominated director Alejandro González Iñárritu shooting on VHS for a recent experimental film and now the folks at the Raindance Film Festival have compiled a top ten list of modern-day VHS music videos. The only thing we don’t get is how they overlooked White Limo by Foo Fighters! OK, that was three years ago, but it still feels as modern as a retro music video shot on an archaic format can!
