This 2011 documentary, hosted by director Brian Grant and Olivia Newton-John, looks back at some of Olivia's most famous music videos such as Physical, Silvery Rain, Stranger's Touch, Twist of Fate, Livin' in Desperate Times and Shaking You.
Grant (who directed all these clips) and Olivia talk about their on-set experiences and discuss how the videos impacted Liv's career.
Really interesting to hear how some choices were made and why; some technical things you may not even think about. For instance, in the video for Twist of Fate Olivia wore all black on an entirely black set. So to keep her from looking like a "floating head" she wore a silver necklace to help her stand out without losing the sexy black look of the video.
Plus, great highlights from all those terrific music videos.
Very interesting to watch. Happy Sunday!
The mafia backstory on "Shaking You" is wild. I have to confess that, being one who fell in love with Olivia in '73 when I was in in "junior high," I never did take well to the video age. Give me a pop song produced and sung well, and I was happy.
