A Bad Night 2

Saved from the scrapheap of time, this video--more than 20 years old--can now be seen in all its low-quality splendor. I'll leave it up to you to decide if it was wise to save it.:)

Just two college kids goofing one night with an old VHS video camera--the kind that had to be connected to a VCR--not one of those spiffy self-contained camcorder jobs. We were bored and figured we'd improvise something--hence the disjointed, almost hallucinogenic storyline. All edits done in camera at the time of shooting. Plenty of flubs, but I figured I'd leave them in--somehow they seemed to enhance things. Please forgive the video quality--it was bad back then and 20+ years didn't improve the tape.

I still get a laugh out of it. Maybe some of you will, too.:)

Written, Produced, Directed and Starring:

Andy (maxruehl, with goatee)

Filmed in Dirty Gauze-O-Vision in the Mid-1980s.

I miss Duchess. You know the authorities can now commit you after they see this! Deny it all, and say you were under the influence of some alien presence and your quite better now. hehehehehee!

@kgb1138 Yup. Duchess was great. Quite the little actress, too!

I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about! That's not me! The video is very fuzzy--you must be confused!

[kgb1138]

That's right Max plausible deniability. Keep sticking to that.

good thing video degrades I guess. ;-)

@kgb1138 And it only took you 7 months to reply.:P

:) I think the '80's tape quality gives the whole thing something... the lack of expensive special effects is in this case one of the coolest parts in it.

So cute dog!
