Through my lens, Willis

By Willis

A bad VCR Jam

Thought about doing this one for years but was waiting for an old VCR to become available. At first I was going to shoot it through a 45 degree angled mirror but found the mirror was generating a double image because of the glass. To get the camera view I wanted, I needed to destroy most of the VCR tape lifter and other parts so the camera could see the playing field. The VCR would never live again but then it was trash to begin with. The shot composite is made from 3 shots. The VCR, the scissors and myself.
I hope you enjoy another one of my old nightmares, removing a jammed cassette from a VCR...
