I remember this as if it were yesterday. This was my last year playing mas before i left Trinidad. I played with City Symphony. They played Birds and Insects. We brought a butterfly section from Curepe.
50mm film was an experimental format designed to afford better quality prints that could be used in standard 35 mm projectors with only a few modifications. It was seen as a replacement for 70mm film which required a separate projector.
I would be interested to find out how this footage was obtained, what camera was used as well as how the digital print came about.
50mm?? wazzat?
@ Adrian, What a treasure ! Awesome !
'67 is my favourite Lord Kitchener's roadmarch and the Ron Berridge Orchestra were at their absolute best for this one. I remember Kitch going from steelband to steelband as they came through the Savannah and taking a jump with each. I was eleven years old then.
Yes, Jean. Ron Berridge did the '67 album with Lord Kitchener. Some of the best calypso backup music ever
is that ron berridge doing 67. sounds like him
Thank u Brian for sharing this with us . In fact i(m surprised that the picture resolution is not too bad; Wonderful , elaborate portrayals of that era... nice colours, and around the savannah is still recognisable. Even then , a highly participative event....LOVE IT!
Nice footage. This may be later that 1967 since I saw something that was not being pushed. (lol)
Those masqueraders haven't reproduced themselves. Today, we have different people, doing different things, in the name of mas. Notice: in '67, nobody held a drink in hand, not even of water.
