I made this video for
Daughters
last winter at the height of my recent
Max Headroom
obsession. (The British pilot and entire American series both stand
the test of time extremely well - they were just as good as I remembered
from seeing them back in the 80s.)
Max Headroom was also a huge influence on my short
Abandoned TV.
Aside from the obvious (a pirate TV broadcast from a future cyberpunkish
world - obviously based on Big Time Television) is that Max Headroom
proved to me that low-quality video could be as aesthetically pleasing
as film grain. It's harder to do, harder to use, but the possibility
is there. (I am not on board with the artistic use
of mpeg artifacts however.
Ugh.)
