the white lines in the vhs tapes (ep 3-5)
episode 3 is incomplete because i just started watching the vhs version where i stopped my rewatch of the regular version. i'm probably gonna continue this for the other episodes over the weekend :)

since i don't have time to look further into it: we recently talked about the cut-up method where you scramble and rearrange pieces of text. i wonder if we need to rearrange the stills (or clips) from the white line scenes, arranging them according to the position of the white line? (top to bottom)
also interesting that episode 5 has this many white lines compared to episode 3 and 4 (unless ep 3 has a bunch in the first 20 mins, or maybe i missed some)
