At about 57 seconds in, it shows a guy going into the girls locker room and he comes out beaten.
That would not happen today, the guy would be celebrated by the democrats.
What is the effective pixel count of an 8mm frame?
[Depends on the film, I know already, so maybe a range?]
Around 800 pixels vertical (short dimension) under the best of conditions.
An analog television set was 525 lines (pixels) vertical.
Yeah. That was high school in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 70’s. I was in high school then, not too far from this school.
Most of the dudes had long hair like girls.
Thanks.
That’s the same as “Super VGA” video, which came out in the late ‘80s.
I wonder if that’s the San Lorenzo, that Pat Metheny named the song after.

If its ~800 vertical, it sounds like XGA.

In 1974 when I was a junior in high school they would require mandatory pep rallies in the gym. Hot un-air conditioned gym.
The heat got to me one afternoon and I fainted. When I came to, I saw they had carried me off to the girls locker room. Bummer. Nothing was going on there.
What a non event.
You all are getting to technical for me.
LOVE that song !
Yes, Spirit of ‘76! That could be all of us at the time. Squinting, the dark haired guy looks like my hs bf. I’m still partial to Chargers. Life was so much better then.
Scarborough Fair is still my fav. Let Your Love Flow was up there, too.
A lot of that was LOL funny! I remember those carefree days so fondly, and the crazy pranks.
