Aberdeen, (from Super 8 film of late 1960's)

I took this film with a Kodak (I think) super 8 camera in the late 1960's when I was a student in Aberdeen. I hope this may bring back memories for some people as it does for myself. If I remember rightly, these were the days just a few years prior to Aberdeen's North Sea oil boom.The Granite City (probably the most solidly constructed municipality in the whole of history!) changes little at its core, but I'm sure a few of these run down back streets and the then mouldering churches will have been swept away in the callous winds of change over the past 40 odd years. I loved to prowl these environs on my own (with or without movie camera) as a young quine and remember often (naively) walking back to my student digs in the hours of darkness through the harbour area. With the benefit of life's experience, I can say that I was lucky to survive, but then again, there was probably less need for paranoia. As to the film, it is part of a very small collection of reels which I took then. One of my biggest regrets is not to have carried on for a bit longer.But then, I became discouraged by the difficulty of editing in those days, which involved mechanical splicing processes and messy glues, which totally overwhelmed my always inadequate practical abilities. How was I to know that at the other end of my lifetime, digital translation of these images would be possible, and the miracles of computer editing programs would become available, even to the technically challenged person such as myself! For those of you who have been interested in this video, please give me feed-back especially if you too were there in Aberdeen in the 'Swinging 60's' !
