    Here's a custom video that, although is clearly access/amateur quality, is good. There's plenty of nice editing and special effects. It is the best custom video package I've seen. Fan's of Jeremy's music will want to have this. Videos are filmed on two major formats: film and video tape. Film has images transferred to it with exposure to light and chemicals, and has a much richer and 3-d depth to it; while video has images transferred onto magnetic tape, seeming more 2-dimensional and choppy. These vids were done on video tape, which is slightly limiting, but pretty good nonetheless. This 7-song package is no slouch, with special effects like flames on characters, differing camera angles, crying babies superimposed over other images, and a mysterious figure who keeps contemplating whether or not to take the elevator. Jeremy, who looks like a young Mick Jagger, can be proud of this custom project. It won't blow away your MTV-trained friends, but doesn't let you lose interest too easy. To order, send $20 to: JAM Records, 3424 Wedgewood, Kalamazoo MI 49008.
