The Ron Bruno video footage of Pittsburgh contains 70 professionally shot 3/4 inch video reels of the Pittsburgh region taken between 1970 and 1990. The recordings were primarily used as file footage by Videohouse, a full-service production company, but also as requested stock footage by its clients. For instance, several of the tapes were commissioned by Duquesne Light Company to showcase the region in an attempt to promote new occupants to large industrial real estate sites that were no longer being used. Each tape contains approximately 20 minutes of raw color footage with sound depicting various scenes of Pittsburgh. These scenes include downtown Pittsburgh and its buildings, local steel mills, regional skylines, and neighborhood street scenes. Specifically there is footage of Pittsburgh regatta celebrations, Kennywood Amusement Park, the McConway-Torley plant, the Homestead stacks, and Pittsburgh International Airport. Helicopter footage shows barge activity along the three rivers around the Pittsburgh point. There are also interviews with local workers and businessmen, including a 1989 interview with Tom Forrester, and several 1990 factory visits by Governor Casey.
