Man Standing Beside Small Boat at Lakeside Dock — Clip Details

Shot on 8mm film in 1960, this vintage home movie captures a man standing beside a small boat at a lakeside dock in Wauconda, Illinois. The scene unfolds on a sunny day, with tall trees lining the shore and their reflections shimmering on the calm water. The man, dressed in casual attire, appears to be preparing for or returning from a boating trip. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, slight color fading, and a soft focus, evoking a nostalgic, mid-century American lakeside memory. The dark frame edges suggest viewing through a projector or film gate.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Useful for 1960s documentary or editorial requests needing quiet Midwestern lake recreation and small-boat home-movie material.
Period detail: The clothing, small rowboat, simple dock area, and 8mm color home-movie look support a mid-century recreational lakeside setting.
Home-movie behavior: The footage has an unstaged home-movie view of a man paused beside a small boat at the water's edge.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include a man, small boat, dock or landing, calm lake water, shoreline trees, reflections, and dark film-gate edges.
Film character: The clip carries 8mm grain, soft focus, high-contrast exposure, mild color fading, and slight handheld framing as part of its archival texture.
Edit role: An editor could use it as a short insert, transition, or memory beat for boating, summer leisure, lakeside family history, or regional life.
Historical context: The scene reflects everyday outdoor recreation at a small Illinois lake without supporting claims about a named event or landmark.
Research note: A person is visible, so likeness review may be needed; copyright and scan rights are separate from any personal or property permissions.
Research search match: Researcher searches may include 1960 8mm Wauconda Illinois lake boat, mid-century lakeside dock, and vintage home movie boating.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with adjacent reel material, then other Wauconda 1960 footage, then broader 1960s lake, dock, boating, and summer recreation scenes.
