Video cassettes from Ric’s ’72 movie shoot have since been found at Graham Noakes’ scrap metal business in Margaret River. However, the movie was filmed on U-Matic analogue video cassettes which are now obsolete and we have been unable to find an U-Matic recorder to view the material.
Editor’s note: The late Russell Quinlivan told me the movie camera (loaned by a TV station) got wet taking water shots and the boys spent time in Bunbury drying & cleaning the equipment before returning it.
Ric Chan: “I don’t remember, but its nice to see I was there”.
In 1972 Surf Photo/Journalist Ric Chan took surfers Mick ‘Blackie’ Black & Russell ‘Quinie’ Quinlivan on a movie shoot in the SW.
The project had sponsors and car dealer John Hughes provided a 4wd vehicle for the movie shoot.
