Satisfaction - Devo. A music video (1981). This piece was recorded and edited in December 1981 in the TV studio of R.L. Thomas High School in Webster, New York. Recorded to and edited on Sony half-inch, black and white, reel-to-reel video decks. A video switcher was used for composting the feedback and layering the three takes of the performance. The introductory section features audio (and partial video) from various broadcast commercials contemporaneous to late 1981, including spots for: Seiko Watches, Hershberg’s Jewelers (Rochester, New York), Fresh Start laundry detergent, Present Co. (regional, upstate New York). The brief “superstar” excerpt may have been related to a prize that was enclosed with a sugared cereal, perhaps a Tee Shirt Iron On.
