What happens to obsolete stuff? 
That was a conundrum I faced whilst entering the 21st century. As a photographer and 8mm film-making enthusiast, it was starkly apparent by 2020 that nobody immersed in the digital age would be interested in my several thousand ‘feet’ of shaky, fading, splice-ridden 8mm footage. 
I set to work dusting off and digitising my old films (I’d personally not seen them for years) with my new and surprisingly easy-to-use digitiser. Through trial and error, and digitised one frame at a time, the films slowly took on a new life in a new medium. The digitising, editing and addition of select royalty-free musical soundtracks made my now quite interesting archival films more viewable than they had ever been ...
Postscript: Having digitised and published my 8mm films, I have since edited and published video footage too.
