    Yeah, I was feeling it watching the video. Is there more footage to make more videos from?

    Any photos or video of the cameras themselves used to record the original footage?

    Thanks Jason. Yes, the 2 minutes from this video were pulled from 2.5 hours of film footage of Durham. The ones used here are all the bike shots, though.

    H. Lee Waters, the film maker for most of the footage in this video, made similar films in nearly 120 towns in the South, ca 1930s. The footage is out there, you just have to track it down.

    Note -- this comment box asks for no html, so I'll refer you to my website via the text at the end of the video. On the site you can find more info about H. Lee Waters' films.
