This is not a bootleg. __ I filmed Strange Day on Maui in Hawaii in 1970.
In the summer of 1970 I made the 16mm color movie as an experiemental psychedelic art film. I was attempting to create some film effects to express a certain colorful DMT experience of Maui.
Almost all of the 15 minutes is multiple exposed film created in-the-camera before the film was developed. It was experimental, at start i had not intended it to be a"Hendrix" film.Many enjoy it as an authentic period piece of psychedelic art history.
In the middle of my work on the film I was lucky to be allowed by Mike Jeffery, Jimi's manager, to plant myself in one spot near the stage, to the side of the big Rainbow Bridge 35mm camera.
I had very little blank film at hand so I multiple exposed him ontop of the psychedelic film which had not yet been developed.
Rainbow Bridge director Chuck Wein said he couldn't allow me to record sound. I didn't have sound gear anyway. He said if I had he'd have kicked me out.
So later that year I cut sections of the film and arranged it to mood of what at the time was Jimi's only live album, Band of Gypses.
It turned out pretty cool.
In June '99 some footage from my film was seen on broadcast TV in the UK in "Reflections - The Man They Made God" ,a documentary film about Jimi produced by David Marks at the BBC.
I don't own the audio that I edited the film to in 1970. I am only selling the visual rights with suggestion that the original camera film be scanned frame-by-frame digitally to make the best quality HQ master for future preservation. Note that this Youtube video is captured from an analog videotape and has some loss of quality. It should be remastered in future.
I have owned this 15 minutes 16mm film for 41 years. I'm an artist, not a businessman. When I sell this to the right person or company they'll be able to license future use for documentary movies or license as stock shots. The right person with connections or marketing skills can make back multiple times their investment for decades.
Don't think you can sell this to the Seattle Hendrix museum (EMP) or Janie Hendrix at the Hendrix family estate. They don't want it. You'll have to market it in licenses to the media around the world to make the return on your investment + profit.
This film was made as an experimental demo in 1970 and was not intended to be a pop-music entertainment video. It was psychedelic film-art by a spaced-out college kid who wanted to project stuff like this in live concerts.
