Tim Finn videos mentioned on this site:-

"Fraction too much friction", "Staring at the embers", and "Through the years" 1983, directed by Richard Lowenstein

Annie's Coming Out/Test of Love (Aus 1984), Director: Gil Brealey - why I have included the movie although Nick Seymour is not in the credits, but is said to "art designer and set decorator".
- "Something So Strong", pp40-1, says that before joining Crowded House, Nick was working as an art director for television production company Crawfords and then freelance.
  - It doesn't mention many specific productions Nick worked on. Those it cites include all the videos for Tim Finn's Escapade album, because he was a friend of director of the videos Richard Lowenstein who later directed the Crowded House videos "Mean To Me" and "Into Temptation".

There is a film called Limboscape by Tim Finn - this Tim Finn is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design.

Limboscape is a 4.5 minute animated film.
"Dozer and Fixer try to evade the fuzz and escape the barren land of Limbo"
