Thank You For Posting Of Past Christmas Of 1976. It Brought Back Happy Memories Of My Christmas When I Was A Child. We Always Went To My Relatives House & Other Relatives Will Show Up About 50 People. 😅😅 It Looks Like You Had A Happy Family Back Then In The Video What Type Of Camera You Used To Record?
You're welcome, so glad you enjoyed it and it was memorable for you. We indeed had wonderful family gatherings when our families were young. Kids are now in early 50s and we are spread all over the country so these gatherings are wonderful memories of our past. This video is digitized from my Super 8 movie film which I shot using a Kodak camera with a mounted spot light for indoor shooting. No sound. I used a Wolverine Moviemaker digitizer I bought on line to digitize the film to mp4 files. I did not want to send out my movies for digitizing so did them at home on my own. I'm retired so had the time. I eventually graduated to analog video camcorder and then a couple of different digital camcorders so my later videos have sound. I'm gradually working thru all the raw video footage I have saved. I have about 50 finished videos on my channel now. Thanks again...
@@Dave-Maynard-videos My Dad Used Have Super 8 Movie Film With No Sound But In Middle 80's He Got A Panasonic VHS Video Recorder With Sound He Recorded Some Videos. But My Dad Recorded Some Family Functions. But Recorder Got Broken. My Parents Was Always Working.To Support Four Young Sons. Money Was Tight. My Family Also Is Scattered Around The United States Too.
If you still have your Dad's films, you can get them digitized to MP4 files either send out or take to local photo shop. Get the files back on an SD card or USB thumb drive then load onto your PC hard drive and edit with downloaded or online software to make into finished video. Most 8 mm and Super 8 film will require a speed change in the MP4 file to make it look same as the original. It's worth doing as the old film will deteriorate eventually and be lost forever. Blessings.... DM
I love this video so much. It really is special. I’m curious how many of the people in this video are still alive today? Are you one of the kids in this video?
Thank you so much for your comment. I was the family film and videographer. I do not appear in this video but I do in some of my other ones when my wife or son briefly takes over the camera. Four of my family in this video have gone home to Jesus. One child was in a bad car accident in 1994 but survive with severe injuries. He's doing well but had a long recovery. Blessings to you and yours.. DM
