TapeMode: VHS Retro Camcorder

No endless recording: you hold a real cassette. TapeMode is built around a cassette economy. Every tape has a limited length and recording stops when it is full. To keep going, insert a new tape or rewind and record over an old clip. Each overwrite wears the tape a little more, and the wear shows up in the picture.
