We wanted to not necessarily tell the story of the video or the song, but create an ambience. And I think now, I think that's gone now. There's nothing wrong with that. But I think we were all trying to make mini feature films. I remember when we were making the Duran videos, I would crop the top and bottom of the screen with black. So that it looked more like cinema.

Russell MulcahyI didn't go to film school. I just kept doing videos and whatever. So I guess I learned my education from just experience. Figuring out what worked and what didn't work.
Russell MulcahyI did "Highlander", which was just an extraordinary wonderful experience. I'm really proud of "Highlander". And they keep trying to re-make it...good luck to them. I do not want to be involved. But, yeah, I'm really proud of that one.
