IC AFTER DARK -- Episode 4 (1991)




This is the first episode of the second season of IC AFTER DARK (produced by DAN NOCERA) marked by CHAD ROGERS taking over as the new host.

The episode originally aired in February 1991 on ITHACA COLLEGE TELEVISION (ICTV).

It was shot 80's "old school " on 3/4" UMATIC tape and edited on a SONY BVE-900 in the newly built ROY H. PARK SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS in EDIT B.

If you look close in the background of all the skits you'll see many people from the 12th floor of the EAST TOWER including Dan's roomates, neighbors and friends.

KEITH CASSIDY aka MACHINE was the resident stunt/FX guy and actually lit his arm on fire in the AMAZING BREAKTHROUGHS skit. He drenched his arm with an entire can of LYSOL. They had trouble putting out the fire and I think Keith got first and second degree burns on his wrist.

Also in the wrangler jeans ad Keith allowed WENDY COHEN in Dan's 1978 Nova to drag him down the street tied to the bumper with a BOGEN tripod dolly underneath him. Everything went fine until Keith went off the road and the dolly fell apart but he kept going for 50 feet until the rope broke. He got scraped up but survived another stunt!
