VHS / Video Store Stickers

I don't quite know why collecting VHS tapes is tickling my brain at the moment, but this hobby is now costing me upwards of $8 a month lol. The video store aesthetic is fully in the sweet spot of being gone just long enough to feel special, but still ordinary enough to be dirt cheap. Anyway, here are some of my video store VHS stickers from my latest haul.

Hitachi VM-2000A VHS Movie Camera

I just added some serious Cold War era tech to my arsenal of movie-making equipment with this vintage Hitachi VM-2000A VHS movie camera. Released the same year as Back to the Future and weighing as much as a Buick, this Hitachi camcorder comes with state of the art auto-focus technology and VCR compatibility.

I've also been adding unopened brands of blank VHS tapes to my collection during my province-wide thrift hunts, which might further prove that this "vintage media wall" I've been building really is (at least in part) just a big art installation. Do you remember ever seeing these giant VHS cameras in the wild? This one still had a tape with a little league game from 1991 in it.
