The Beatles in Rishikesh, India (February - March 1968) Home Movies Reconstruction

Hi everyone,
This is my reconstruction of all the available footage (that I was able to find) of the Beatles' 16mm color home movies shot throughout their visit to Rishikesh, India in February thru March of 1968. These have often been called Mal Evans' home movies, but I find it quite clear that it comes from several people, as each Beatle is seen filming at some point. I apologize for the strange crossfade on a lot of clips, but I could not avoid that as it is presented this way in Anthology and I want to get every frame out of each clip. I have also speed corrected to the best of my ability, with most clips originally being far too slow.
The sources I have used are: Anthology 7, Anthology 7 (rough cut), Get Back, Real Love, 1968 Vol. 1, The pre-show film from Paul's 1989-1990 world tour, and the White Album super deluxe feature for While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Also, just to note, I'm not sure how much of the Helicopter sequence is home movie footage or newsreel footage, but I included it anyways just in case!
Enjoy!

makes me sad watching this few people like the beatle's ladies and both George and john not with us anymore. the film is like a little snap shot in there life's its very nice to look into.

I think 8:19 was the exact moment that inspired Why Don’t We Do It In The Road

Quite an amazing task to compile and sort everything! There was a different angle of John in the helicopter, but just remembered it was shot in b&w. One day there might be an AI program to "filter out" cross-fades.

[@78zappaf]

Ah yes, I was right and wrong (maybe). Its available in the Huntley archives in COLOUR! There could be a possibility that the b&w footage I saw is not the Huntley source. As for that filter, it was possible to separate two images from a double exposed print. Just takes a lot of hard work and lots of time.

i was a bit depressed. i watched your reconstruction film, and now i want to have fun again. thank you!

STUNNING work (as usual)

[@YouCantUnhearThis]

It's a shame that the entire footage hasn't been restored and released officially yet! It would have been a great bonus feature on the White Album 2018 Deluxe Box Set. Also: you can catch a glimpse of Paul Saltzman, who took many of the famous Rishikesh photographs of The Beatles, in the maroon shirt @2:04 and @2:57!

What’s the song that Starts around 8:40? or is it just some random jamming session?

[@charlesbowes-taylor2979]

Any idea of the name of the piece of music playing at around 8:40 please?
