WFF DVD production, music, title sequence

0:00:00-0:00:15

The WFF DVD is a compilation of 15 rolls of 8-millimeter film I found in my mother's basement. It's the accumulation of her mother's home movie collection, I figure, plus one Dyehouse family film. The rolls are mostly unlabeled, which made assembling the DVD mainly a chance affair. (Help! See my "Welcome" post.) The fellow who did the actual film-to-video transfer, Jesse, did make some attempt to put them in chronological order (perhaps by gauging the apparent age of the film stock).

Some of you have a version of the WFF DVD including music, which Jesse mistakenly included. For those of you without the music, be thankful for what you're missing: the first or second track is an instrumental adaptation of "Chariots of Fire." The original films were soundless.

The WFF DVD's title sequence is also Jesse's invention, although the "Wilson Family Films" title was my idea. Jesse preferred "Wilson Family Memories," the (print) title that appears on the actual DVD disc.
