# 1980s VHS AI video style

1980s VHS is an AI video style: Tracking lines, neon color, tube-camera glow. See 2 real shorts made in it, then make your own from an idea, a link or a podcast episode.

1980s VHS belongs to the Different Eras family, a filmed, live-action treatment. The same script can be rendered in any look, so the style changes how a short feels, not what it says.
