Clark: Shooting the Video in the Heady world of pop

You see, once upon a time that was, like a major undertaking wasn't it?

Back in the olden days we would 'shoot a video' using super-eight or VHS. We'd story-board stuff, set up a location and props, direct it, then hire an editing suite and two of the more 'special' members of the band would 'produce' it.
With hilarious consequences:

Gosh I wish I still looked like that! Yes, but that was in the olden days....

Nowadays, you get your kid to stick camera in front of you, sing into a fake mike, render it in black and white,  and 'drop' it onto youtube.

So that's what I'm aiming to do. Just as soon as Owen and me work out our differences of opinion about whether he's allowed to go on the internet after bed-time has been declared.

Such is the heady world of pop that that I inhabit...
