Surf My VHS Tapes is an interactive website offering a nostalgic online VHS player experience with personal films.
The Backstory
Hey folks! I've always been fascinated by that vintage TV aesthetic, and the 'My Retro TVs' project really sparked something. I wanted to build something similar but with a deeply personal touch – showcasing my own video collection. The challenge was creating a seamless, responsive experience that truly captured that nostalgic feel, and I think I finally nailed it! Seeing people spend their mornings engrossed in it? That was the best reward. Prague's charm definitely added to the creative process.
