​For my sins, I produced a music clip one time. One, just one, a sole rock video, in 1989, for the single  “The Funniest Thing,” by the great New Zealand band the Verlaines; that you can see here: 

​It was sort of the result of accidental circumstances. I’d gotten together with my future brother-in-law, Glenn Auchinachie, who worked as an editor in the film game. We had had a one-off dry-run in 1983, when I introduced Glenn and provided him with entrée to the Birthday Party camp and he shot a brilliant video of them live at the Trade Union Club performing “Deep in the Woods,” which became one of the band’s favourites, and which you can see here. By the late 80s, we were both maybe at a bit of a loose end and thought, Let’s make some videos, it can't be that hard. We dubbed ourselves Monaro Pictures. Our first – and last – commission was the above; I’d always loved the Dunedin Sound of the Flying Nun label and so we were keen, and indeed, it wasn't that hard. We then tendered, as I recall, to do a clip for Sharon O’Neill, but before that eventuated, Glenn took off for the US where he spent many years as a film editor in Hollywood. Me, I married his sister.
