Raccoon On Wooden Dock By Blue Lake — Clip Details

Shot on 8mm film in 1939, this vintage home movie captures a raccoon on a wooden dock by a deep blue body of water in Wyoming. The animal moves slowly along the planks, its dark fur contrasting with the sunlit wood and rippling water. A metal bollard and coiled hose are visible, along with a partially seen sign reading 'LIMIT PER DAY PERSON'. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain and color saturation, offering a nostalgic glimpse of wildlife in a rustic lakeside setting.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: 1930s Wyoming home-movie wildlife footage suited for documentary cutaways, nature inserts, or archival lake recreation sequences.
Period detail: The wooden dock, hand-painted limit sign, metal post, and saturated 8mm color may show a rustic lakeside recreation setting in the late 1930s.
Home-movie behavior: The clip has the observational feel of a visitor filming an animal moving across a dock rather than a staged wildlife setup.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include a raccoon, wooden dock planks, blue rippling water, metal posts, a rail or pipe, coiled hose, and a partly cropped limit sign.
Film character: The footage shows dense 8mm grain, strong blue color saturation, slight softness, and contact-sheet framing that preserves a home-movie texture.
Edit role: An editor could use it as a brief wildlife insert, lakefront transition, rustic travel cutaway, or quiet memory beat between broader Wyoming scenes.
Historical context: The scene suggests leisure or dockside access to a lake, with the posted limit sign hinting at regulated recreation without identifying the site.
Research note: No people, faces, logos, or audible music are indicated, but copyright status and any property or location permissions should be reviewed separately.
Research search match: Relevant searches include 1930s Wyoming lake dock footage, 8mm raccoon on dock, vintage home movie wildlife, and rustic lakeside recreation.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with adjacent footage from the same reel, then other 1939 Wyoming material, then broader vintage lake, dock, and wildlife home movies.
