Sunday Tidbits....

Recently my father discovered YouTube, and he uploaded his Director/Cameraman reel from his varied career in the film biz....Is such an interesting look at advertising of the 60's, 70's, and 80's, and a look as well at the work of the aerobatic wing camera that he designed for a movie he made about guys who do aerobatics professionally.

Its also quite a slice of my childhood...I may have long forgotten many of those moments, but just seeing this makes the smells and textures come flooding back to me...from the chemical smell of strips of film hanging from its sprockets over the round film bins that we used to play in, to the children giggling...or was that me making a soundtrack? The toys, the actors, the children's little fingers flying the weeble plane, the prototypes falling apart on set, and how my father would yell and then go and do headstands or meditate...I used to have those toys somewhere...disposed of by an evil stepmother, no doubt...

Anyway, its far from whats been going on in my head for these past weeks, but I just couldn't resist posting it here for posterity and interest.



I'm sure there is more to say, but the work speaks for itself....He is currently making documentaries, and probably fighting retirement, as all the Brown men do....gotta keep busy, you know... work or die; thats our motto.
