8mm home movies of family, friends, and "ME", from the late 50's and early 60's, filmed by dad in Denmark, Canada, and the US.

really nice to see such old footage. very nostalgic.

[@cputb1]

Wow, thanks. When I found all these little reels of 8mm Kodak film in an old cardboard box, I was pretty blown away at seeing the footage. I didn't even remember ever seeing 90% of them before. Dad would of been a heck of a KZbinr if they'd of had it way back then.

i am blown away my friend!!! that is so nostalgic!! that reminds me of camping trips to the lake as a youngster!!!!

[@cputb1]

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch it.

[@jaredcicon]

Wow, your parents were forward thinkers. I don't many people our age who have so much home video. Good for you and your family. It is priceless documentary. When you add it to the right music and editing, it becomes art for 'anyone' to enjoy. Jared

I loved that! That was simply gorgeous!!

[@0rip0]

That was some great stuff. Nice job! That little boy at the end is fearless.

Fabulous video...those are priceless. My sister has been the home movie buff in our family, small portions from our dad. Great Video cputb1!

[@hallbe]

I'm so jealous! I had stuff like this at one point. But, it was all lost in storage when I moved out west :(

[@cputb1]

I was quite the acrobat, wasn't I, hahaha. Thanks MD20000!

[@ZoeToots]

OH man! This is amazing! Takes me back.... Thanks...

[@cputb1]

Thank you.

[@cputb1]

Thanks for the kind comments. I was a pretty lucky little kid. Sounds like yours are too.

[@cputb1]

Thanks alot.

[@cputb1]

Well, maybe back then. But fortunately, Dad at 85, doesn't throw me around like that anymore. Thanks for your comments.

[@sherysista]

Twas my pleasure...music is perfect :o)

[@cputb1]

Thanks

[@McDaidUSA]

Amazing footage of you and your family, especially the acrobatics which are simply amazing for just horsing around! --or did you have some olympic gymnasts in your family tree?? Great song and editing too.... ✭✭✭✭✭

[@cputb1]

Thank you for stoppin' by ParadiseEarth1.

[@cputb1]

Thank you for the comment. Yea, after choosing the song, I tried to edit the vid so the scenes would kind of fit the lyrics. Thanks for stopping by aprilbaby64.

[@cputb1]

Well luckily, at 84, Dad doesn't try to do that to me anymore, haha. Yes ppp, those days did seem a more gentle, simpler time. But in 40 years you'll look back and probably say the same thing about your youth. Thanks for watching.

[@cputb1]

No, far from it. I just found this $89 video software I use, days after purchasing this, my first computer 2 years ago, to see if I could figure out how to save dad's old movies to DVD. Then later I discovered KZbin, got hooked and it's been downhill from there, hahaha. Thanks for taking a look!

[@cputb1]

Yup, thats me and dad. I'm sure mom is going to rush to my rescuce as soon as dad lets her put down the camera

[@jaredcicon]

Wow, this one almost had me crying and I don't even know the people in the video. That opening shot of the boat coming to the dock with the music is very effective. WONERFREAGINGFULL. Hey cputb1 who is getting the Flying Wallend treatment in the video. Is that you and your dad? Jared

[@greatwhite75]

Great!

[@cputb1]

WoW, Thanks!

[@crazygeorge53]

Wow, I thought I saw my aunt Mary, even the second time.

[@cputb1]

Jarwoord, zulks waren verminder samengesteld dagen (?)

[@cputb1]

No, no gymnasts in the tree as far as I know. But as I've said before, thankfully dad (now 87), doesn't try to toss me around like that anymore.

[@wyclef28]

cool
