Weymouth, Portland & Lulworth Cove (Dorset UK) 1963

Filmed using silent Kodachrome 8mm stock in the summer of 1963. Includes a trip along the sea front in Weymouth and a drive along the road to Portland via the causeway. The roads are full of classic cars although none are as old as the 1937 Morris Eight that I was driving at that time. The film was taken on a French clockwork Beaulieu MR8 camera with an Angineau zoom lens. It was expensive for the time at £150 but I bought it in a sale for half price. It took me two years to pay off the HP (hire purchase). No credit cards in those days! For comparison I was earning £12 a week as a skilled mechanic and petrol was 20p a gallon (4.5 litres).
Edited on my P4P800 Asus computer using Windows Movie Maker with a soundtrack generated by Magix music software (no copyright issues). Enjoy this flickery trip into the Dorset of yesteryear.
