A young boy in a red firefighter helmet and striped swim trunks plays on a backyard playground structure in North Hollywood, California, in 1961. Shot on 8mm film, the clip captures his energetic movements as he climbs and balances on the bars, with a sun-drenched garden and green lawn in the background. The footage has a warm, nostalgic color palette and authentic film grain, evoking a classic mid-century American childhood.
