Meet me in Montreal (video experiment)

Meet me in Montreal (video experiment)

Gordon Gow

This is an experimental video I did for the demo version of "Meet me in Montreal." I wanted to know if I could assemble something from found footage on YourTube that touched thematically on the song. The lyric alludes to a road trip taken sometime in 1967, so I looked for super 8mm footage from Expo 67 and other home movies of that time period. I'm not a filmmaker (as some viewers will no doubt immediately recognize) but it was fun to find and edit the footage into something that accompanies the song demo.

Here are the source videos and links (in no particular order):
