Preservation Project: Super-8 and Regular 8mm Film Telecine How-To

Here’s a guest post from my partner in crime, Ashley:

Hey everyone, I’ve just begun the process of preserving my grandmother’s extensive home movie collection. I found myself doing all of this research on Super-8 and Regular 8 transfer techniques, transfer houses, and so on, so I wanted to share the results to save others the time and hassle.

Home Movie Preservation: Part I surveys the options for transferring Super-8/Regular 8mm to video.

Home Movie Preservation: Part II discusses the pros and cons of the transfer house I selected.

Beyond that, further posts on my Preservation Project site will chronicle the process of creating a home movie database archive and other aspects of working with small-format films.
