Heading into the visual stratosphere this week with the 80s music video career of director Jim Yukich, who now has a hugely successful career producing comedy specials for the like of  Bill Maher and Chelsea Handler, etc.

In the 80s though he was responsible for some of the best music videos around 
including all the best Phil Collins & Genesis videos of the period (and beyond).

In this first part we cover his early career and his first videos with Genesis & Phil 
and others. This includes 3 x audio commentaries for his best Phil Collins vids of
