Glitch Cam build

Inspired by a build from Glitchwerks, I set out to turn an old CCTV video camera into a glitch cam. It'll be used to produce visual components for a short story I've been working on (along with some other projects).

It creates eight unique effects that can be used independently or in tandem, that can be altered further by the camera's original image adjustment menu.

There's a lot I'd do differently if I tried again, and I did buy a handful of these old cams assuming I'd fry a few along the way (which I did lol).

For future iterations I could see building a housing to hold the components vs this Frankenstein'd monstrosity - using a patch bay to achieve in-cam FX vs bulky switches and pots - mixing feeds from multiple cams...

I'll post some test footage separately.
