A Richardson Story

I edited this affectionate tribute to my amazing family from our archive of family Standard and Super 8mm films. It's dedicated to my beautiful mother, the late Pamela Richardson, who died in 2006. She's the raven haired beauty with the movie star looks. These films were all shot by my father, Michael Richardson, who has a great eye for a shot and didn't whip pan around all the time like so many Dads do! He's the one in the obscene shorts! You can see him when my brother Andrew is behind camera. They also feature brother Tim, all our grandparents, our great-grandmother Florence Underwood (in the purple hat and tweed coat, pushing me in my pram), and many other family members and friends. A starring appearance is also made by the family dog, Flo. I wanted to honour the original movies so have only tidied them up, chosen a bit of music and cut out all the boring scenery shots.
