I’m talking about the past, not me. At this time of year we’re encouraged to reflect on times gone by, and the one place I could always guarantee to find something from back then was my attic. So a recent trawl uncovered a dusty old tape box, containing both a Betamax and VHS tape from my Degree Show. For those of you under 50, these were the precursors of Netflix and streaming on demand…

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to get the VHS digitised and see just how great my degree show was. I studied for and got myself a BA Hons in Graphic Design, with a focus on multimedia and Promo Music Videos for my thesis.

*Ear-Worm Alert: watching either of the clips below will get this tune stuck in your brain for a month – minimum.

So I present to you from 1982, English Country Cheeses (why did Disney never get back to me?) prepared in under 3 months by a willing team of inebriated art students; followed by the 2025 update, prepared in under 4 months by one man and his Apple Macs and gallons of coffee. Enjoy.
