How I Saved my Grandpa's 8mm Cine Films (Film to Digital DIY Telecine)

After my Grandpa passed away at the end of 2024, we discovered a huge box of long-lost 8mm cine film reels from the 1960s & 70s. I took it upon myself to go through and transfer them all. This is one of the more personal and meaningful videos I've made in a long time. It's been such a wonderful experience being able to honour the memory of my Grandpa and his influence on me and my interests/career. #filmtodigital #8mmfilm #8mm #super8 #vintage #retro #analog #film Youtube videos referenced: How To Load 8mm Film (Crash Course) - Film Digital https://youtu.be/qjqSJ4ejCY0?si=uXjkiz56wMre8oND Kodak Plus: Kodak Reels https://youtu.be/5jMK7AXl-2A?si=jgDLf7C75pR-Szv2 Found Footage | Montana 79 - I.O.M. 2 https://youtu.be/TZ2cDY_8rCk?si=AMYXB_fUrypHfPSy I Used This Projector to Digitize SUPER 8 Film at Home - Analog Resurgence https://youtu.be/jj58d87L9L8?si=dddBFw025lmisv2E DIY Telecine Test - Onnie Granados https://youtu.be/FhrKO1cEo7U?si=G5ytPC2Fy5TT2Y7V Onnie Granados DIY Projector Telecine Blog Post: https://8mmforum.film-tech.com/vbb/forum/film-to-digital-conversion/78268-diy-real-time-8mm-s8mm-telecine-system-sample-footage Get 10% off Dehancer Film Emulation products with code: SRI https://www.dehancer.com/ (excludes IOS app) Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:39 - 8mm Film Types 3:03 - Film Viewer/Editor 4:39 - Using the Projector 5:49 - Planning the Transfer 7:05 - DIY Telecine Testing 9:18 - Final Prep & Transfer 10:49 - Post Production 12:38 - Final thoughts & Family reactions 14:54 - Outro Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sam.richardson.image/ Website: https://samrichardsonimage.co.uk & https://pixaplaceweddings.co.uk
