LOS ANGELES 1974 HD

Because of UA-cam's nutty copyright system, my original soundtrack for this film I created with Garage Band and registered with the Australian Performing Rights Association has some sort of nutty grudge against it from UA-cam so as not to allow ads. But UA-cam encourage you to be original!!!! Go figure.....
So using "Groovin'" by Brian Boyko of FreePD.com, I got around UA-cam's nutty copyright system.
One small step for mankind and one kick in the backside to UA-cam and the digital internet scam companies!!!
Back to the movie! I have now done this HD.
This is a montage because I put the Standard 8mm film through twice. Unlike Super 8 film which was just one run through a camera, the standard 8 film was 16mm film and you put it through twice but sometimes it was easy to get mixed up on a tourist hop! I also used a anamorphic lens.
So here's an unusual look at Universal Studios, the Music Bowl, a few familiar places in Hollywood, the street set from Hello Dolly on the Fox lot and even a glimpse of the late actor, Telly Savalas!!!!

I was in the 11th grade at Wilson High School in Los Angeles. I was living in East LA ( City Terrace ). LA was a lot of fun back then. Today, It's in shambles. Sad. Good video.

@@AlanBondFilms 2 months late to the conversation, but your vid's date indicate it was posted 9 years ago. However, all its comments are from the past 2 months----YT's algorithms do wacky things. As for being in a shambles, the scenes of Hollywood Blvd in the 1970s show it wasn't ideal back then either. Parking lots around Graumann's & in other sections of the street too. Some of the buildings were vacant or almost abandoned. LA's air was also way smoggier in the past. But the city's politics & too many of its voters (throughout Calif too) in the 2020s have hurt LA & the West Coast.

I guess I was around 12 when my family first visited LA back in the 80's. Magic Mountain had a birtchin roller coaster, but no large trees. I eventually moved to SoCal in my teens & 20's and made this place my home. I learned to drive in LA by watching shows like Adam 12, Dragnet, Emergency, and the Rockford files. Many of those land marks are now gone, but some are recognizable! Funky soundtrack BTW! Thanks for the Wideo, Hugs :)

Thanks for your comment. You don't realise at the time but what you are filming becomes history. Cheers Alan
