  1. Luba: Let It Go (1984)

    July 29, 2008 by Gail

    Let it go, Luba, let go of the gratuitous use of the blue screen.

    I don’t remember this video being quite so… BIZARRE. I watch it now and I have no idea what some of the people are actually doing. Was it choreographed, or did the director say: “Pretend you’re demented! A deliriously happy sort of demented!” I was 12 years old in 1984, I guess I didn’t question anything.

    I showed this to Nadja on Sunday night while we were waiting for her friend’s flight to arrive at Pearson, and I said ‘I betcha it was made around Toronto…’ (considering Canadian video production values, that would be a sound stage, a Commodore 64, and a schoolyard during a fire drill!)

    Anyone know?
