90s videos

In the late 80s and early 90s, my dad was working at The Hacienda in Manchester. At first he was a lighting technician, but then he went on to direct music videos with two of his friends, under the name Swivl films.

I told him I was making a stop motion music video, and he showed me a few videos he made over 20 years ago, which utilised animation.

A Guy Called Gerald, Voodoo Ray, 1988

808 State, Olympic, 1990

Kiss AMC, My Docs, 1990

Full Intention, America, 1996

My dad's friend, John Clayton, directed the video below - it utilises stop motion to cleverly animate the TV to play in real time.

Bassheads, Back To The Old School, 1995
