Fabric Betamovie Camcorder
The Sony Betamovie was the first device to combine
a video camera with a video recorder in one handy unit,
resulting in the "Camcorder." It was released in 1983.

Twenty years later, I made a version from fabric,
complete with cassette. The Paper
Betamovie was the mock-up for this project.

It was a class project. There is no underlying
philosophy to this object, other than being a
floppy, cuddly contrast to a precision machine.


It drove home a deep personal conviction: I like old
video equipment.
