Anticipating the premiere of Handshake Media's corporate video on December 1, 2009, I've been reflecting on my history with short films and music videos.

When MTV launched in 1981, I saw my second music video.  I saw my first 10 years earlier before a now-forgotten feature film as an unforgettable short:  Skater Dater.

According to Wikipedia, "Skater Dater" won the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival.  It was re-released in 1971 which is probably when I saw it.

Why do I think of Skater Dater when I think of Handshake Media's video which I previewed a few days ago?

Art with film and music.
