Tainted Love


I was recently speaking with a friend about the evil hand of doom of 'the man' and the effect on the artist's initial concept. This notion we had to bite some film noir imagery and in particular, 'Touch Of Evil', is a good example.

The stills actually make the video like we pulled it off!

The plan was to have Rich (singer/bass) be the director as he had experience in film
and knew exactly what we wanted but the label wanted a 'real' director and since they put up the money, blah blah blah.

We could've done it, and much cheaper.
Thank god that Rich being the 'hands on' type did get some of the idea in there but
had to let the hired director add some really bad content and 'acting'.
(The Cowboy?, The horrible 'drunk'?, THE SPY WOMAN????)
Oh well, at least we did get some nice images but this video was most definitely the most painful to make.(and later pay for) See the completed video here.
