| Pink Floyd Nick Mason 1968 - 1971 Super 8 'Home Movies' Sources: directly from a first generation VHS, time coded 'production copy' The majority of this footage was likely shot on a Minolta Autopak-8 D6 Super 8 camera 'Remember A Day' instrumental version added to video in December '21. Length: 1:40 The posting of this video is dedicated to: Richard Wright, Steve O'Rourke, Peter Watts and Mick Kluczynski, all of whom appear in this footage at one point or another. Description: The mythology and legend that surrounds this footage is hard to overstate. For years, collectors have speculated about this footage, which includes clips from Crystal Palace, May 1971 and on location while filming Live At Pompeii, October 1971. Despite copies of this film landing in the hands of just a few collectors, this footage has never circulated amongst the general Floyd community - until now. Because of the mythology surrounding these clips, I fear some people might be disappointed after viewing. While they do provide a unique look into the early days of the band, there is no concert footage in these clips. *A portion of an interview with Nick Mason - Uncut Magazine, October 2018: 'Interviewer: Any chance of a release for a film you made in 1986 featured unused footage from Pompeii?' Nick Mason: There's nothing unseen in it. It was a 25-minute doc made about me, primarily with Rothmans money, because it was about motor racing'......... **Another portion of an interview with Nick Mason, from 2016, regarding Super 8 films of the band: “The biggest problem with early [visual] material is that there was relatively little good quality material around, because we weren’t important enough to have a lot of news footage. The Beatles, although it was early days, had quite a lot of great movie footage. We didn’t. What we tended to have was us going to Japan, buying Super 8 cameras and filming each other. Which was pretty weak filmmaking, I can tell you. And contains, of course, no sound whatsoever. Although, by looking at it, it looks as though we believed if you shout loudly enough it will imprint itself on the film. We always seem to be talking to the camera hopelessly.” ***While doing research on this footage, I came up with this interesting tidbit: Mick Kluczynski, who briefly appears twice in this film, was one of the original members of the Floyd's road crew. He is often credited as having joined the Floyd crew in January 1972, in preparation for the first performance of Eclipse: A Piece For Assorted Lunatics at the Brighton Dome. He is seen in these clips as early as May 1971. ****Please note:**** don't bother contacting me, asking for an uncompressed version of this footage. Because of the actions of a couple members over on the Yeeshkul forum, I will no longer share lossless copies of my Floyd related work with that trading community or any other. I'm tired of having my work bastardized, by being used in someone's little elementary school project, without ever being asked. Please be respectful of other people's work! J.C. 22/12/21 |
