Thanks for the video... great stuff! I was on the East Side of Simi at the time... On Cynthia street. I love seeing old Simi footage... I don't suppose you have more? Thanks again for the fun video.

Thanks for the note, I do have afew more home movies of Simi in the 60's, might even have building of the tract homes. If I can dig it up I'll post it so please check back.

@trumpetmike1 Not to be a pest, but I would love to see more if you have them. Awesome video here... Great video.. great imagery.

Imagine the music from the "Good Band and the Ugly" which I had with this, and was removed because of copyright infringement. Sorry Clint

About 1/2 of the vid didn't work--the soundtrack continued, but the screen was black.  I was trying to figure out if I knew any of the kids. My older brother was a super 8 film maker as well back then. You guys were about a mile away.

Royal Class of 1977

Try it on a different computer/monitor. It is dark I tried to fiddle with it. It's a film to VHS to digital. Those kids were Ethan and Howard Rotman about your age. I was Royal "72

Loved the video-I lived about 1 1/2 away from there (66 - 1980) on Rosette St. Loved the soundtrack-

@trumpetmike1 sweet, I lived on Hilllary ct. about a mile and a half away. though I lived there in the mid 80s. We just went down with MY kids (we live in southern Oregon) and visited. STILL a great city, so is Thousand Oaks.

Hello Mr.Rotman! Cool video and which one are you? It's very hard to notice.

-Stephanie Koo (Period 2)

Hi Mr. Rotman!! This was very funny! How'd you put the music in? Very cool indeed.

PS

To Nicole

I used a Macintosh program called imovie. You drag in the movie file and and any sound you want, it's fairly simple. The music is from a classic western called "The Goood Bad and the Ugly"See you in school !
