Cathode Ray Dude - CRD | What Is A Beige Whale? @CathodeRayDude | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
In this video essay, I explain a concept that I believe we all understand, but have never given voice to. Join me as we venture into the fascinating, yet unnecessary.

Footnote: There appear to be a couple rendering bugs that cause white blotches to appear on the edge of the video. This seems to be a glitch in Premiere, it happened in two separate renders and seems to be random. I guess I have to see about upgrading.
I'm also aware I said "tape decks built into VCRs" like four times instead of "VCRs built into TVs" but everyone knows what I meant and it would require 16 hours of work to reshoot and re-edit to fix.

This is *sort of* one of the most underwhelming machines I own - insofar as its actually pretty good, it just packs in a really half-baked software idea, that could have been good if it was... finished?
