MTV - 1982 - Time Filler Animation - MSTS1

[peters9nine]

If MTV today played these intermission pieces all day long, then I would watch MTV. Otherwise-- forget it.

@peters9nine That's how I feel.

Does anyone remember the filler video from the 1982 that was mostly black and white clips of explosions, cannons firing, a dude getting hit in the stomach with a cannonball, bridges blowing up etc? It had a great rockin' music track with it.

@sygo7g - Cool, thanks. Gotta say though, I don't remember that music..

[MSTS1]

@sygo7g - VCRs were still fairly new in 1981-82; probably very few of these recordings exist..

[MSTS1]

@sygo7g - My new VCR (in '82) had an audio-dub button on it and I managed to lose the original sound for this. Would love to hear the original track again..

Even this "filler" animation is better than much of the crap on MTV's sched today!

If you saw any of my TV test pattern vids from 1982, they were recorded by me in the same time frame as I made this one. This played very late, when I guess many of the viewers were loaded and/or stoned... As for me, I will not confirm nor deny what my physiological status was at the time I recorded this.. :))

Mmmm sliced meats. No wonder MTV became so popular.

[Wildcock23]

This kicks ass. Pure and simple. Where did you get these clips?

[MSTS1]

This and all my clips are my recordings, I made them. These latest 3 are for my M TV Playlist.

Cool!!!

MTV did THIS to fill its programming slot gaps?

[MSTS1]

They'd only been around for about one year, and maybe needed more advertisers and music videos..
