Thanks for posting those old films. I remember when Super 8 was fading away in the 80's. Was able to make some films with an older camera. I miss film. I have some old regular 8mm film I got in Peoria at the Superfest I need to view. You are right, they are real life, not Hollywood stereotypes here. One has to wonder if Today's DVDs and solid state drives will hold up 50 years from now.
Hearing the projector sounds reminds me of seeing films in school in the early to mid 60s. The film quality looks pretty good! Love watching old home movies even if I don't know the people.
Nice video, thanks. Your videos are always worth watching. This is going to sound funny but sometimes I wonder how people survived back then without all of the technology we have today. Looking at that film of the 1954 back yard party, it seems that people functioned much the same way we do now. They had patio furniture & BBQ grills (I wonder if that's a Weber - lol). It's hard to believe that old people were that young once, and everyone was so proper. I wish it was like that today.
This is one of my fav-o-rite vids you have posted. Super cool footage. I Love the old days . . . I was born in '63 . . but wish it was '43 . . smile.

@78recordrepair Unfortunately, the answer is "no". But it's nice to see someone imaginative & intelligent enough to even ponder the question. :)

@iSquishy89 Shouldn't be. Kodak came out with safety film around 1951 or so.

Very similar to my father's Keystone 1963 vintage 8mm projector. Made like a tank and sounded like one.

I love the auto-turn-on bulb feature!
