The home-page film

The one-minute film on the home page is made from photochrom prints of Egypt from the 1890s - photographs coloured by a lithographic process, published as travel views. They are held by the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division and are in the public domain.

The camera moves, colour grade and light effects are drawn in your browser; nothing in the film is third-party footage.

Music

The film's music is an excerpt of Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D, performed by the Strolling Strings of the United States Air Force Band (from The Strolling Strings 50th Anniversary, 2004). As the work of a US federal government ensemble, the recording is in the public domain. Sourced via Wikimedia Commons.
