What I was doing in 1995

Here is the video for "Damn," a song I wrote and recorded as terpsichore in the terpsichore years (1993-2000). I made the video in about 1997. It was made on a Mac Performa 6300 (100 mHz processor!) using Photoshop 4 (I think) and Avid Videoshop. The video was shot in my garage. I painstakingly cut the garage out of every single frame using the lasso in Photoshop (I didn't know how to path at that point), and rotoscoped effects by hand, frame by frame. It was a titanic effort, but not enough to make terpsichore a superstar.
A testament to how much change can occur in 13 years.

Wow, I got news for you, you miss spelled your name and need to add this info to your Wiki page that talks all about how you are an American poet and memoirist, also how you are way older. Just thought I'd let you know.

@Mikemaniax Chris was 8 when when I wrote this song, but he was 10 when I made this video. Plainly, he was inspired.
