The HP Video Show
Jan 31, 1978
Description:
Hank Bull and Patrick Ready produced a special video edition of their weekly broadcast The HP Radio Show that envisioned what the duo would produce if they had their own television program. Airing on Cable 10, the thirty-minute pilot episode featured a discussion of bicycle power, a skit about outer space with original music, a scientific inquiry into vegetarianism, dance interludes, and clips from Glenn Lewis’s 1977 video performance We All Sing the Same Song. The vignettes also demonstrate experimental editing techniques—notably, an inventive use of the split screen.Video documentation is available upon request.
