AVHQ Test Video – Circa 1986

I created this tape from original material shot by Panasonic Broadcast in Hawaii to help set up video projectors at event venues. Within a few years, nearly every video staging company had a copy. This is about 3-1/2 minutes of the 14 minute version. Partial soundtrack includes Simple Minds and Wang Chung.
