A short video for the 4th....

[Absent Minded Farmer]

Due to the weather, my plan didn't go as planned. I had wanted to belt up the thresher & run the wind stacker to make the flag wave.

But.... rain on my parade.... etc.... etc....

So, I did the best with what I got.

Added the vid clip to a cylinder recording I had found on Archive & had it in my archive.

Enjoy!

P.S. The McCormick thresher would have been built the year this country was celebrating it's 150th.

Very nice , simple display.
My twisted mind can’t help to expect some Terry Gilliam animations when I hear Sousa’s “The Liberty Bell”.

I had figured in about four days for photography, developing & poor-man's rotoscoping to get in about two seconds of a foot drop.

That would have been the result of it too, yes.
