This is my beautiful little sister Becky and my Brother John. This piece of film was made during the summer of 1967 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

My mom and Grandma taken December of 1965 is my best guess. This again is off the oldest film reel my parents have.

The movie project I’m currently working on runs 43mins. It has been a tedious process trying to get 8mm film that is 40 years old into a digital format good enough to out to DVD. The key to the whole process is quality but, what I have learned is quality is expensive. Being that I’m not rich I have had to find the best medium between cost and quality. At the end of the day I found with a couple hundred bucks it’s been well within my grasp to make a fairly inexpensive product.

My equipment consisted of my mother’s Analog video recorder and an 8mm/Super 8 movie project which has variable speed control. With a bit of experimentation with backlighting, speed control and angles I was able to copy the movies to VHS tape format.
Once you get this into this media it’s a simple matter to get them into an AVI NTSC format that can be enhanced digitally. All of the above was the really the hardest part of the entire project.

I’m now in the editing phase using Pinnacle Studio 9.1 and having so much fun editing out bad spots in the film. This software cost me about $90 dollars and is proving to be worth every penny I paid for it.

This is my Aunt Tommie and as and taken on a January morning in 1966. My Aunt and Uncle Brice and my cousins were up for the holiday. On this morning were laoding thier car because they were going home to Texas. This image was a capture using Pinnacle Studio 9 photo grab. I did this on the fly and saved it as a jpeg. I bet if I use Adobe Elements I might be able to clean this image up and make it a lot cleaner. I have found that Picasa does a pretty good job too.

This is our whole gang, and the movie this image came off of was was the very first my parents made. They were using Kodak ectechrome film and the color has stay very rich for 40 years old. This was about January of 1966. I think they were up from Texas for the Christmas holiday and we made this the morning they left for home.
