Dangerous Man

This self-produced, self-directed and self-edited (and self-paid for) video was done a year before MTV existed in order to expose ourselves to Los Angeles record lables without having to lift Anvil cases. Recorded by the good graces of Pasadena's Digital Sound Recording; track produced by Metavision's Theo Mayer; shot on 16mm by a rag-tag crew of old friends from film school; edited in my back yard on a rented Steenbeck and post produced to video at Pacific Video in Los Angeles; "Dangerous Man" appeared for two weeks on MTV in normal rotation in late 1981. (And yes, that's pre-Elvira Cassandra Peterson starring as The Girl in the Bar.) After spending nearly eight thousand dollars on two songs, ASCAP paid me two hundred dollars in performance royalties for reaching an audience of nearly twelve million people. Hey, that's show biz.

Fantastic editing, great director, and to top it all off, surprisingly good song! 5 stars all around (and if you hadn't have said otherwise, I would have thought that this was professional made)!

I'm sorry about the MTV hassle, but it sounds like the fun was the journey and the two week fame.

Great filming, great editing, and a surprisingly good song! If you hadn't have said otherwise, I would have thought that this was professionally made!

I'm sorry about the MTV hassle, but it sounds like the journey and the two weeks of fame and fun made up for it.
