Around 1984 (I think) I brought my super 8 movie camera to school (remember, these were the days before compact video cameras — yeah, I’m old). I shot about three minutes, had it developed, watched it once and stuck it in a shoe box for the past 23 years. I rediscovered it while looking for negatives to scan for my 20 year high school reunion so I transferred it to digital. The camera work is terrible and a lot is blurry but it is kind of fun seeing the old place in full motion. Paul Simon’s song Kodachrome WAS in the background (it was shot on Kodochrome film, after all!) before WMG had them pull down the video for using it.
