Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Supports documentary requests for circa 1962 California oceanarium entertainment, showing an active sea-lion performance with its trainer and apparatus.
Period detail: The trainer's white uniform and cap, simple cylindrical pedestal and suspended hoops fit the section's early 1960s setting without fixing a precise date.
Home-movie behavior: The elevated visitor viewpoint and small framing shifts preserve the experience of watching a public animal act from the audience area.
What appears in frame: Two animals rise in blue water beneath a white-clad trainer, a perched companion, a cylindrical pedestal, striped blocks and suspended hoops.
Film character: Soft projected detail, coarse grain, cool color rendition and intermittent dark marks give the transfer a visible small-gauge home-movie texture.
Edit role: Works as a short action insert within a marine-park visit, with repeated upright movements providing a clear performance beat.
Historical context: The visible staging records marine-mammal entertainment at Marineland of the Pacific, a California oceanarium that operated from 1954 to 1987.
Research note: The trainer's face is indistinct and no readable branding appears; film copyright, performer likeness and venue-related rights remain separate considerations.
Research search match: Matches searches for Marineland of the Pacific sea-lion acts, circa 1962 California attractions and silent small-gauge home-movie animal performances.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with this reel's marine park crowds and marine mammal splashing, then other Marineland views circa 1962, followed by comparable oceanarium performances.
