The shot at 0:57 is repeated at 1:05
The shot at 4:54 of Paul and Mal was probably filmed on the day of John's helicopter flight. Ditto 6:24 (John is holding an 8mm camera).
Are the shots of Paul playing the guitar reversed, or was he playing as if he were right-handed?
I believe the shot at 8:57 is from 1 March, the day Ringo left Rishikesh and the rest all went to the banks of the Ganges for the acoustic jam session that was filmed for Italian television.
The shots of Paul are indeed reversed (except the first one which is correct, he's playing left-handed as usual), you can clearly see Paul's face (hair, eyebrows) in the wrong way.

Recently I made a edit which assembles all of the available footage of the colour home movies shot by the Beatles in Rishikesh
Is it only home movies or also colour news footage?

which begs the question: how much news footage is shot in colour and was 'printed' / broadcast in black and white through the sixties ?

( huntleyarchives.com gives a bit more coloured helicopter footage; original from NBC? )

Great compilation anyway

The intention is just to have color home movies - I wasn't sure if the Helicopter footage was actual home movie footage or news footage.... I learned towards home movie but I could definitely be wrong! I have the Huntley Archives footage but chose not to include it here.
