British Tourists 1979

Before going ahead and presenting Jon in England with the full 2-hour definitive DVD documentary of his 1979 vacation here in Vancouver, I've decided to upload a short preview on this blog/stage to show him exactly how the transfer process from super 8 film has been successfully completed with agreeable results. Of course it'll look even better viewed on a 40-inch Sony Bravia TV rather than on this tiny Blogger screen provided below.

The problem I had in compiling this sampling was that I kept discovering old deleted Blazer scenes scattered amongst the travel footage on the same DVD. Mostly out takes from the sloppy 1975 feature: 'Get Lost' starring Dan, Don, Doug and Paul. Those discarded scenes from Alice Lake may have had nothing at all to do with Jon's visit to Vancouver 4 years later, but I still felt they deserved a brief showing of their own here - as a sort of double bill. (I've got so many DVDs to go thru, I don't have time to split them all up!)

So while this entry might be titled 'British Tourists', the portion of the video it refers to is very limited. It's actually more of another hodge podge collection. And them's the kind o'videos we likes watchin' best round here anyhoo.
