Disneyland In The 1950’s

There is something about the 1950’s that is extremely intriguing to me.  It may be due to my new addiction to the tv show Mad Men.  Anyways, I ran across this video by Jeff Altman.  There is something about the imagery and music choice that just works so well together.  Here is Jeff’s blurb about the video:

“Shot by my grandfather on his Bell & Howell Filmo using 16mm Kodachrome film stock. This footage was taken a year after the California theme park opened. 

It was quite a surprise going through this and seeing my grandmother meeting Walt Disney himself! I’ve been doing my best to find out what they were shooting at the front of the park. So far I’ve been unsuccessful.

Transferred to HD (1080PsF 23.98) myself off a Spirit and Color Corrected using a da Vinci 2k Plus. Slowed to 18fps to match the original film speed.”
