I love this, your movies are such good quality, I wondered out of interest were they originally filmed in 16mm? And also how did you digitize them? It is such a treat to watch home movies from times gone by displayed in such good qaulity, you can really see the people... very nice.

@jimmyriddles Thank you for the appreciation! In response to your question, all of my grandfather's home movies up until the early 1960s were filmed in 16mm, after which he used 8mm for a few years, followed by Super-8 until his death in 1977. I had his films digitized onto mini-DV by DuArt Film & Video in New York City.

I always enjoy your movies. I was born in 1942, but you films remind me of life in Babylon about ten years later.

What I always love about old movies is how people get in front of the camera and then act like it's a still camera. They pose, stand still, and wait. Like they don't know what to do :-)
