One of my projects these days has been to digitize my old Super 8 films from long ago and far away. Here's one I shot in California of Allen Ginsburg and his partner Peter Orlovsky. I had forgotten that Lawrence Ferlinghetti was even there that day until I saw this.
Unfortunately, there is no sound.
Hopefully this link takes you right there.
Is there a #foss solution to #AI#upscale videos to 4k and 60fps?
I have a bunch of old #8mm#film scans I would like to try...
Found a #Jupyter notebook that does it but the process also colorizes and I don't want or need that. Colorization was baked into the process even for color films.
I recently digitized a bunch of #old#8mm films my Dad had taken over the course of his life. The oldest was from 1939 when my Dad would have been about 21. Here is a short clip he took of some people outside a old car below a geological formation in #Yellowstone
This year, I gave a special gift to some of my family members.
I digitized, or at least attempted to digitize, all 20 of the reel to reel recordings my late grandfather had done on his unit.
One of the reels had what was apparently a 1972/1974 Christmas day recording of the family opening presents, singing Christmas songs, and chatting together.
My grandfather smartly preserved that space in time, and I've now digitized it for future generations.
At one part of the audio, I can hear what I'm sure sounds like an 8mm or Super8 home camera being used. We have those 8mm films still, they just need to be digitized.
I am then hoping to digitize (in 2023) those tapes, find the footage, and combine the small video portion, with the digitized audio portion; a small fully featured family home movie moment, preserved over almost 50 years later :)
