In some respects, he’s also the father of the music video. Some of the camera and editing techniques he used in the title sequence of “Hawaii Five-O” were widely copied in the early videos that appeared on MTV.
BTW, the new CBS version of Hawaii Five-O (including its title sequence) pales in comparison to the original. And I hear the network is now working on a remake of “Gunsmoke.” I’m not looking forward to a PC version of Matt Dillon and Dodge City.
And one of the networks has just ordered a pilot for a remake of Bewitched. These folks are fresh out of ideas.
