In 1970 4 kids made a 3-minute video for their Gr9 class at North Saanich school in Sidney, BC (west coast of Canada).

The shortest kid is Rick Bailey, he's the one driving the red van. The one in the striped shirt is Terry Erickson. Reed Pumple is the one wearing the black sweater and the striped pants, and Richard Thuillier is the one with red hair.

28 frames per second, shot in Super8, with a combination of straight film and animation. Music is by Paul Simon, called Baby Driver. All 4 were 15 at the time.

Unfortunately Rick died at 20 in a car accident, and Terry died at 25. This is dedicated to them.

  • is that a family video, and are those paul simons' brothers; although it does look too recent to be paul simon when he was that young

  • Hi, no it was done in 1971 or so, in Sidney BC. Nothing to do with Paul Simon, except they chose this song to go with the video they made.

  • wonder if they got the idea for this from the Smothers Bros. show? They had shorts like this on it. Bill

  • have me wonderin' where are these "kids" now & did the ever think, 40,000 folks would see this. Kudos to one & all whereever they maybe.

    

  • @cedexovolcom Age doesnt matter. What's the difference between me (18) and my dad (57) both digging the music of Derek Trucks (32)?

  • @ecomcon1 fresh and 40 years old!!!!!

  • Too Cool! Big, Big fan of Simon & Garfunkel and the video reminds me so much of my 1970 world in Edmonton, Alberta, CA. Really sorry to hear some of guys passed on so young as with some of my family & friends. Very neat reminder of a passing era.

  • im just 15 and this is my type off music

  • I adore this video - excellent song choice too!

  • @MrBackInCrack You said it!!

  • @TracyM132

    It was filmed on Bayfield Rd. in north Saanich, just across the street from the Bailey's house.
