Everyone had to start somewhere, yeah? and these are my first efforts in film making.
Amateurish? Yeah, sure, but I was just a teenager with no money.
Funny? That depends on whether you find teenage humour engaging or off-putting.
Good? As good as they can be given I was a teenager with no money and a juvenile sense of humour.

A little ditty as an intro...
Sit back! Relax!
We're going to start the show now!
Hang on to your hats
'cause you're in for a treat!
Don't hit the tracks!
We're just about to roll now
We're going to touch your soul now
and electrify your seat
We hope you're not a snob
We sure hope you're not uppish
for what you're going to cop
is pure rubbish!

Demolition and Construction at 19-21 Byrnes Street - 1976-77

This 12-minute film is a record of the demolition of the original Bestoys factory and house next door to make way for the two-storeyed factory-warehouse-apartment building that took their place in 1976 and 1977.
The film stock was Kodak and Agfa Super 8 shot with a Chinon movie camera.
Working in Stanmore during construction hours meant that shooting could only be done during late afternoons or weekends when builders had finished for the day and Byrnes Street was all but deserted.
This gives a false and idyllic impression of Byrnes Street: it was not peaceful or deserted. During work hours, Byrnes Street was congested with delivery trucks and workers' vehicles lining both sides of the road. The noise and, in particular, the smells from the tanneries and chemical factory, were almost overwhelming.
