August 14, 1945: Waikiki erupts in joyful celebration as the first news of the surrender of Japan comes over the radio. Shot by my dad, and presented here as a heartfelt tribute to his generation.
LICENSING AVAILABLE. We have nearly 60 minutes of beautiful Kodachrome footage scanned at 4K, filmed in 1945 in Hawaii, much involving military personnel. Production companies and other entities feel free to contact and enquire.
This film is seen here on youtube as I intended it to be viewed. It has 5.5 MILLION VIEWS and counting on vimeo.com — but VIMEO has inexplicably chopped off the top and bottom of the frame to fit some misguided wide-screen idea of theirs. This was not shot as a wide-screen film.
