      we had a shitty camcorder and it wasnt this bad. was born in the 90s but it recorded on little cassette tapes and you could hook it up to the TV with the component cables. the video was photography quality with the vibrant colors you would expect. i can see this color filter happening if you messed with the settings a bit

        The effect in OP happens when you take your video-8 master tape or whatever then edit it on two domestic vcrs.

        The generation quality plummets the more you move shit around. Add LP to it (because you shot too much shit) and that awful "cake frosting" semi-embossed look starts to happen after two generations.

        Not saying that the "final print" would look that bad, but the rough cut you did yourself absolutely did (and you rarely got to the final print anyway because hiring editors and 3-quarter inch tape suites was too expensive back then, and it had all taken so long nobody gave a shit anymore, so your great vision became this rough as ass vhs cut).

        Back in the day you had to go do a film and video course at the local community college for a year just to get near an editing suite to try to sneak extra time on for your own crap so it didn't look so nasty. Sound effects editing alone was a nightmare. Shit sound. Shit image. Everything looks fake af, even if you found an awesome location. Interleaved fields catch every hesitation and wonky micro-expression, and just sucks the "cinema magic" out of the endeavor.

        That "VHS Look" is the look of broken dreams and dead visions.

        Meanwhile, proper filmmakers still use super 8 and 16mm to evoke a fond, cozy nostalgic feeling. Formats that had become too rare to get good cheap deals on by the 80s and 90s. It really was a forsaken time for wannabe film kids.

            It does have its own color characteristics, but yes I misspoke it is not a sequence of moving pictures.

            Back to the filter, it's just an example of someone creating something who doesn't really know what they are creating.

            It's like the stray hair trope on film, which was even made fun of in bugs bunny cartoons. You put a film filter on something and it looks like crap.

    I got gifted a 2005 era studio camcorder from a web series shoot that I use for my own personal projects. The simple answer is you can't make VHS quality better, but you can degrade HD. Some moronic studio exec can come in an demand to reduce the "VHS effect" when it's not an effect but actual footage. I think Tim Burton had the same problem with Frankenweenie, he wanted all the sets and miniatures to be black and white, but the studio wanted him to shoot in color and convert to B&W in case the studio changed their mind. Lots of movies with "news segments" would shoot with actual news cameras and felt real (The Game). You really notice those different media styles are all replaced by HD cameras. I'll go shoot a few minutes later today on the camcorder and upload it if anyone is interested in seeing what it actually looks like.

      I don't know why, but some of the video to dvd transfers out there upscale surprisingly well. I don't know if it's because the tape was a professional/prosumer variety like hi 8 or svhs, but other than some color flatness they look markedly better.
