Witness "The Magic Wheelbarrow," one of a good handful of movies my older siblings made at our house on Hitt Road, using a Super 8 hand-held camera, technology now rendered moot by the phone cameras of the day.
Still, this is fun to watch. I have a minor role as the little kid who occasionally pops in wearing the red coat. I'm not in the main feature, but in some of the bonus material included at the end.
In the thumbnail above, that's my oldest brother Albert, preparing to leap off the top of the house.
Looking at the movies makes me sad just a little bit, as the house was recently torn down to make way for a road widening project. The house looks a lot smaller (Dad did some additions to it over the years) and the trees are certainly a lot smaller than I remember them being.
