A Brief But Pointless Minute

Time for another brief but pointless minute of ancient super 8 film footage, rescued from the dead box of obscurity and presented here as if it all happened as recently as last Tuesday.

The dead box is filled to the brim with forgotten moments like these; tiny snippets of the past resting quietly within their plastic reels. These are film clips that haven't seen the inside of a movie projector in almost 35 years.

Seems like I had to try and make a Hollywood production out of everything I shot back in the old days - which included turning a casual summer evening's drive out to New Westminster (with Doug and Paul) into a bleedin 3 act play. I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't have bothered to capture the outing in such a bizarre manner. The stupid poster we used as a prop, must have taken a good 5 minutes to produce! Take note of the promotional T-shirt Paul is wearing for the movie "Why Did They Do What They Did". A sure sign that this clip was filmed 'post' Philum Festival 1975.

There's more footage from this event (not uploaded) but only 'McCoy' would want to watch it.

Some questions about this video.

1. What was the dog's name?

2. Doug & Paul left for the game without you. How did you get to the park?

3. Did McCoy's team win?
