Analog-Inclined Engineer Logan Owlbeemoth and his TACHYONS+ Brand Customizes Vintage Video Processors to Create Incredible Glitch Art Visuals via the VHS Format and Beyond!

As any Tapehead is likely to tell you, an acute appreciation for the aesthetics of VHS is one the most inherent aspects of our love for this magnetic medium. The innate idiosyncrasies and inevitable decay of the analog picture and sound in their natural state are usually enough to appease the average analog aesthetic thirst, but there are others who want to take those natural clips and blips a bit further and manipulate them into their own personal mutation of magnetic magic. Enter Logan Owlbeemoth and his wife Omebi AKA the analog engineering outfit TACHYONS+. Over the years, they’ve modified...

Indie Filmmaker Jon YonKondy Employs VHS and the Shot on Video Method to Capture His First Full-Length Feature: The Coming-of-Age Film SUSQUEHANNA!

When most Tapeheads think of shot-on-video filmmaking, they’re almost immediately inclined to think of no-budget, backyard flicks oozing with gallons of homemade blood and guts. And with good reason, man. Consumer grade camcorders helped innumerable fledgling filmmakers bring their indie nightmares to flesh and tape, no matter how horrific, ham-fisted or downright insane. But filmmaker Jon YonKondy sees through the shot-on-video lens a little differently. Though he had a late bloom into the world of filmmaking, he’s since been able to work alongside some heavy-hitting productions and actors, and continues to make moves in the bigger-budget film world. However, when...

Mike Hartman and Silver Bullet Pictures Prepare to Invade Your VCR with Their Upcoming Outer Space Creature Feature CHUBBIES Unleashed on Limited Edition VHS Just In Time for Cinema Wasteland!

The more fun-loving movie maniacs and Troma-tized Tapeheads out there are apt to be familiar with indie film ace Mike Hartman. Flicks like the gut-busting rock n’ roll comedy Heavy Mental and the absolutely bonkers Blood Orgy at Beaver Lake both exemplify Mike’s pleasantly perverted and radically ridiculous style of filmmaking that has the power to make people pop low-budget boners everywhere. And now, he’s just completed a brand-spankin’ new creature flick that takes cues from cult classics like Critters and Ghoulies, but slathers these little space freaks with a luscious layer of lascivious intent as they try to butt-bomp...
