This is my second TV studio project (Bucks County Community College). A music video to the Amy Grant song Sharayah. My dear friend Susan France does a great job with the lip sync performance, considering she had never done anything like this before, and only got one run through before this take. She was great to do this favor for me. Thanks Sue, so very much, for this fond memory. Shot in early 1988.

That’s alright, I’m in television and hated it also! Low pay, big egos, long hours, whatta ya gonna do! I like your video for its sincerity. You weren’t trying to be ironic and you werent making fun of the song. There’s a lot of heart to it. Would like to see what you would do now with a cheap video camera and iMovie.
