Do you have a video of it? If you do I would like to get one.

[MSTS1]

@SuperMlea - It's so new that I haven't even made one yet, but will soon make this and some of my other originals as full frame versions for DVD and see how they look. I'll get back to you on that, thanks for the interest.

@SuperMlea - Having some trouble with the DVD recorder input at the moment, so nothing is available at this time. Just another problem to solve I guess...

[SuperMlea]

Great job that is so cool!

[MSTS1]

@SuperMlea - Thanks!

Beautiful nostalgia. I'd have to admit, in pretty much most of your "back-to-the-past" animations depict a cloud-groomed, haze-polluted Boston. Was it truly always like that?

[MSTS1]

@hkfreak - .. and thanks for the comment too, I appreciate that.

@lspin02151 - Thank you, glad to hear that -)

Nicely done. It's exactly the way I remember it.

[MSTS1]

@hkfreak - Not haze and pollution, no. I design my old Boston movies by my memories, and for the ones I've made, they were in the late fall or in the winter. Usually set on weekends; Saturday or Sunday afternoons and into the night, as I roamed the city of Boston on the lines. I try to re-capture the mood of desolation that I remember experiencing in those years- 1973-1975.
