OPEN AIR FILMS STUDIO

Here's some lucky footage of a rainbow coming with a rainstorm over the ocean at Stanwell Park and Otford Lookout, New South Wales, Australia.

Yep, this classic car that the owner has had for 38 years went up in flames as he drove near Stanwell Tops, New South Wales, Australia. Fortunately he was able to pull over into my street before the car caught completely on fire. He got out safely and even though the fire brigade arrived quickly, the car was a total write off. Fortunately he was fully insured.

This is a new attraction at our local zoo that's just up the road from where I live at Stanwell Tops, New South Wales, Australia. A good design for the the little (fairy) penguins to enjoy

While keeping within the incredibly stupid dumb idiots scene or in this case Keystone Crooks at Stanwell Tops, New South Wales, Australia...we see a bunch of fearless idiot thieves turn up to go through neighbourhood unlocked cars (off screen) except for looking into my locked car and their other shenanigans like trying to get tyres to replace their own busted ones, then actually in broad daylight stopping to make sure the tyre is on right in front a CCTV cam...I tell ya... Also watch for Part 2 with their antics captured at my 2nd driveway....

As mentioned with Part 1, I had a Part 2!! Because I have a 2nd Driveway!! This shows what the other CCTVs missed including knocking off a tyre and another attempt by these idiot thieves trying to break into a friend's car.

STUPID is right for this idiot who decides to go for a ride ON his girlfriend's car....

This brief but furious nearly cyclonic storm struck in February 2024 at Stanwell Tops, New South Wales, Australia. My CCTV captured the furious force though I have sped it up 400% which keeps the sound intact. You'll hear the thunder and see some lightning effects.

Here's some CCTV which I videoed off a screen till I started to go directly to a USB stick for vastly improved quality, but you still get the idea quite plainly here. These two idiots decided to remove bush rocks from adjacent my driveways (I have 2) and throw them across the road to neighbouring properties!! This is at Stanwell Tops, New South Wales, Australia.

Filmed in 1974 with Standard 8mm film, Cinemascope lens, this shows a unique aspect of this monumental scenic wonder with storms in the canyons.

Here's a friend of mine showing his talent for playing a didgeridoo in my backyard. Enjoy.

Another near miss for me...how lucky can you be? Anyway, this guy just didn't know which way he wanted to go at the notorious T-intersection on Bald Hill, New South Wales, Australia.

Another self involved controversy where a shady developer/builder across the road from where I live in Stanwell Tops, New South Wales, Australia, tries to set me up telling police I was filming his wife and child... but the camera tells a different story....

This is a recorded history of the above controversial subject. A controversy that has gone on for decades to open land for residential development in the pristine location of the headwaters of the Hacking River, life blood of the Australian National Heritage Listed Area, the Royal National Park, New South Wales, Australia, second declared park in the world after Yellowstone in the USA. A forthright, determined local resident made these invaluable recordings to show what happened to save this land...and yet, the fight still goes on....

A Standard 8mm film restored showing kids boating about Burrill Lake New South Wales, Australia way back in 1970 BC (Before Computers!!) These kids would now be in their 60s!!

Once again, a controversial situation I was involved in when 7 West Media in Australia used footage of mine from Youtube in a news segment without even asking me or acknowledging it was mine or where it came from under the rules of Youtube. Naughty boys.

Get a load of this....while driving down to Stanwell Park, New South Wales, Australia, I had the closest of calls ever while driving....

There are some people on Rumble who give their opinion by yelling and screaming a lot about what goes on in the world without being personally involved!!!!....however in this doco I am personally involved by two local unscrupulous questionable developers who illegally built a cubby house in an environmental zone which is not allowed. For some reason I got blamed for putting a "complaint" into Wollongong City Council, New South Wales, Australia which I did not. But the nutty, mad millionaire developers chose to take it out on me naming me in the media without me even being contacted for my point of view. You'll see the Sydney media invading my home to supposedly seek my opinion on this "cubby house" without even telling me that it was me they were after. They just say they want neighbours opinions, a BIG LIE!!!! Fortunately I had the presence of mind to use my camera to record the "media invasion" from my point of view!! This doco also shows what these mad developers got up to prior to this including vandalising trees for a better view from their development! There is a 2024 update at the end of the film too.

A keen attraction at Coalcliff, New South Wales, Australia is the ocean pool. When the seas are too rough, the pool is always an easy delight to swim, float, etc. Run by the local Wollongong Council it is regularly maintained for visitors and locals alike. Enjoy this short, relaxful look at the pool .

I pulled up to back into my driveway. Here something happened to my car! I nearly had an accident before I could stop it hitting another car!!! I did hit the opposite embankment, but no damage to the car. So was it the car, or me just being clumsy with my feet?...still though, it sure makes interesting footage

Here's another storm my CCTV picked up as we got battered by wind rain and thunder from lightning in the distance over the Illawarra Escarpment, New South Wales, Australia.

This restored Std 8 mm film was taken back in 1971 when a bunch of us went for a picnic at the Birthplace of Australia at Kurnell. A friendly footy game between the guys and gals of the group. Enjoy this look back of over 50 years....!!!

Here's a film from ambitious days of self teaching how to make a movie!! A cast of two, one chasing the other...one is a murderer but which one? Filmed in Glenbrook Gorge, Glenbrook, Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia, way back in 1974. And in CinemaScope Std 8 too!! With a Bolex Zoom Std 8mm windup camera!

Yet another restored film from another time, another Century...!! Cruising on the Hawkesbury River, New South Wales, Australia back in 1979, and filmed in Standard 8 Cinemascope, called Kowascope here. Enjoy.

Another slice of Aussie life. With some friends at the Harbourside Restaurant, Wollongong Harbour, New South Wales, Australia and a sudden storm rage came up.

Another CCTV with people risking life and limb by just walking next to a dangerous road where pedestrian access is not allowed here at Stanwell Tops, New South Wales, Australia!!
