After my retirement in 1984, it was an era of spending more time with my family and exploiting the new video cameras that were available. Their use at the time was rather primitive, being large cameras supported by battery packs on the user's shoulder, and hardly unobtrusive! Use of the camera was also resisted by the family at the time but has since become an interesting family record.
Here are some trial videos, unedited (sorry!) of my family life in 1984. There are some quite nostalgic pictures of my late Mother and Father included at the end of the year...
