If you're looking for useful how-to's relating to media, how to make cool RECords, you want the HitRECord Academy: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/177105

THIS collab is all about mundane and silly things. With any combination of text, image, audio, and/or video, show us how you do some ordinary, silly, unusual, pointless, outdated, or even useless, task. That way, we'll all have varying degrees of marketable skills to fall back on, or something.

For example, you might be able to enlighten us with:
--how to hook up a buggy to a horse (outdated)
--how to make a rose with icing for a cake (maybe useful)
--how to shave (mundane)

You might simplify what seems like a complex task, or you might complicate something simple.

Just nothing that encourages anyone, or engages you, in unnecessarily dangerous or illegal activities - for which hitRECord obviously can't be responsible.

I know you all can do so much more than edit video, paint with software, write poetry and scripts, record and mix songs you write, sing, and play, and take and develop photographs. I mean, come on. ANYONE can do that. But how many people can hang 1" open-reel video tape with wet nail polish? (I can!) Here's how:
Step 1: paint your nails.
Step 2: hang the reel.
Step 3: thread the tape through the heads and onto the take-up reel, being careful not to touch your wet nail polish to anything.
Simple!

Your turn!
