The Blacksmith.mp4

This is a commercial featuring my grandfather, Clarence Ward. It was filmed at Ward Welding in Springtown Texas in late winter 1971. It was produced by the Southern Baptist Radio & Television Commission, and aired mostly on the west coast. I was in the 4th grade at the time, and was given early dismissal from school that day to witness the filming. This video was archived from film to magnetic tape by the SBRTC, and we were given a VHS copy in in the 1980s. I converted the VHS to DVD, and then used to DVD to make an MPEG4 file for sharing.
