THE STORY
My 4th Partner / Husband Larry Anderson (1948 – 2016) was with me at that time. For years before me met, Larry often hung out with friends in front of the Berkeley Barber Shop to watch the Parade. We continued that Tradition, except in years of Rain or Route Changes. One reason, was that there were trees there to provide shade in the June sun. Another reason was that, by being Consistent, our friends would know Where to find us among the Thousands that watched the PARADE.
Filmed by me with my 1st-generation Digital Camera, hence there was No Audio in the original videos, and the quality is not very good, but it was the best I had at that time. Filmed as a bunch of mini-movies (30), some only seconds long, others over a minute. Total is 7:50 minutes/seconds.

THE CREATION OF …
This a re-sized / Narrow (9:16) version of a Re-edit, using Microsoft ClipChamp, of my 3rd Video Stream that I had ever created using Microsoft Clipchamp.
30 mini-videos (AVI format), with No sound tracks, filmed using my 1st digital camera. Appended together via Clipchamp. I added a Free Clipchamp background music track, and TITLE. Last thing I did in the 1st version was to add a Rainbow rectangular border, sized to closely approximate the frame size of the videos. There was No way make it an “exact fit” frame. For later videos I had switched to a Flowing Rainbow Flag video.
I took a Re-edited Widescreen version I created on June 11th, and used it as a template. rotated the Background (Flowing Rainbow Flag 🏳️🌈) 90 degrees, and fit it into 9:16 format.
The Video itself was reduced to a width of 9,, preserving the 16:9 aspect ratio, and centered against the rotated flowing flag. Texts were adjusted accordingly with parts of the Cover Text converted to “Color Shift” and Cover text overlaying the Background instead of the Video.
