Any questions for the producer of Hot for Teacher/Panama video?

[AlanCBerry]

I will be interviewing the producer of HFT and Panama video next week.

Is there anything you'd like me to ask him? I could use some more questions. Thanks!

HFT:

How much of the video concept/scripting was written beforehand and which parts were made up as it was filmed? Who actually developed the overall concept?

Who choreographed the band members in the dance scenes in tuxes? Was that part of the original concept/script for the video or an add-on?

How did the jail scene make it into this given there's no reference to any form incarceration or breaking the law within the lyrics?

Panama:

What's the source of bi-plane footage in the intro? Where did that concept come from?

Who chose the punch-in clips that weren't part of the stage filming or concert footage? Were those made specifically for this video or taken from some other production?

Ha! Just listened to a Niel Zlowzower interview and he was at the Hot For Teacher shoot. He said it took three days and on day three he runs into the kid who played Waldo. The kid was really bummed out and Niel goes what’s wrong kid? You don’t look too happy. Waldo goes Dave didn’t think my hair was greasy enough so he put a brunch of Vaseline in my hair and the crap won’t wash out. I’ve tried everything and I’m stuck with this greasy hair!

HFT: How would describe the overall mood/temperament of each member of the band?

How professional were they as the talent? How much did they drink on set?

PA:

Whose idea was it, and why does the video, open with a flyby by a WWI era "Bluemax" type biplane that is not otherwise referenced in the song or video?

Add me to the list of those curious as to the airplane beginning - was it just some random decision
or an attempt at a non-guitar guitar sounding intro? Or a visual connection to the guys strapped in
flying over the stage?

I think it was VH-1 Pop-Up Video that said Alex had the most trouble with the dance sequences but
I coulda heard that somewhere else.

And maybe it's just me but this seems like the kinda stuff DLR could be doing on his Roth Show
episodes. Unless previous staff have blocked him, he must still have some connections and if you're
not gonna put out new (decent) music, a monthly (?) Q&A seems like a perfect way to stay in touch
with fans who want more but will settle for less.

Did the set turn into a David Lee Roth gang bang hula beach party or was it your typical boring video shoot?
