Description:

This video shows the entire creative process, from composing late 80s-inspired heartbreak pop in Logic, to filming in my basement with a black sheet, to transferring the final video to real VHS using budget gear. This one’s for the musicians, nostalgic video creators, and anyone who wants to see what happens when late-80s drama meets musty basement meets analog fuzz.
