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. 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.
