It's rather impressive how fast the whole development happened.2011 - SpaceX announces reusable rocket development program for Falcon 9.2012 - First Grasshopper flight test.2013 - First landing attempt with Falcon 9 over the ocean (CASSIOPE).2014 - First successful "ocean landing" (CRS-3).2015 - First successful land landing (Orbcomm OG2).2016 - First successful droneship landing (CRS-8).2017 - Blooper reel released after 12 consecutive successful landings.In the span of six years, it went from a concept to routine operation.

I don't think SpaceX will have the time to dig through their video archives and release Falcon 1 footage eight years after it was retired.It has nothing to do with time.That whole blooper reel thing was politically feasible to release because stage landings were on SpaceX's dime and their sad fate didn't affected customer's payload in any way.We will never see any new videos from Falcon 1 launches, CRS-7 or AMOS.
We did see footage of employees reacting to CRS-7 in NatGeo's Mars series, it's possible there will be reaction to Amos-6 in season 2.
