Reflections '67 Video - A beautiful tribute to Miramonte and Orinda
-

During the 1966-1967 (my senior year) my brother Fred and his friend Chris Ammen made a 16mm film of the school year. It was meant to depict a day at school, but encompassed the events of the entire school year. It starts with an early morning drive from Miner Road (Sleepy Hollow) to the school and shows all manner of assemblies, sports, plays, concerts, pep rallies, and homecoming. It is an amazing movie, state of the art for a student film at the time, along with an (un-synchronized) soundtrack. [Imagine what it might look like with today's technology!]
I hauled the 16mm film around for 30 years and showed it in its original format at our class reunions. I digitized it on DVD for our 40th and 50th reunions. Now it's on Youtube for everyone to enjoy. Hope you like it.
