J. J. Carroll and others have created a ‘Ken Burns Effect’
video depicting the first years of the Davis Stonegate development. Running
almost eight minutes, it is on Pietor Pastoor’s YouTube channel and can be
viewed here:
As a preview, I reproduce a few screenshots from it below in
this post.
Stonegate is of course one of a fair number of sizable
developments that sprang up like mushrooms at the bursting edge of Davis in the
Sixties and Seventies.
The existence of this carefully done video history raises
the question of how many others there might be--or at least the raw photographic
materials from which video treatments might be created.
If there are similar materials on the beginning of other
Davis developments, I would be delighted to know about them and to help publish
them on this blog.
