Family

This is an album about our family cabin. It was out by the road, behind the newer home and was in pretty bad disrepair when dad got ownership from his Father. The cabin was the original house and when they decided they wanted a newer, bigger home, they just built in front of it. They left the cabin there and used it as a wash house first, then as a storage for coal. Dad decided he wanted to move it back into the woods and repair it for family get togethers and such. Dad and I worked to clear the small brush and junk trees from a section of woods. Let me be clear on this. Dad did most of the work himself. I helped when I could along with our longtime neighbor who put a good bit of time in as well. He was Dad and I's wood cutting partner early on as he had a truck. Other friends pitched in for a few things as well but the credit goes to Dad. He was retired and enjoyed the process so here are some pics along the way and the finished result. Some of the pics may not be the best quality but they are scans and all we have of it. This was over a span of a few years and you'll see the seasons change as progress was made.

27.8MM Stills

Video stills from 8mm movies that my dad, mom and even us kids took.

The default file size is 1024x768 but you can choose 800x600 or Original when perusing.

Beginning approximately 1958 and going through the late 1970's. The videos were digitized frame by frame to 1080 (with letterbox on the sides) and these stills have been cropped and adjusted. Some of these are hard to believe they came from 8mm. The frame size is so small it's difficult to image that there is any detail at all.

The conversions were done by Legacy Digital Productions: http://legacydigital.net. I highly recommend them.

I am currently editing for each of the seven 8mm film reels that were digitized in Adobe Premiere. This includes removing some unwatchable sections or even individual frames, adding image adjustments, speed and stabilization adjustments, transitions and miscellaneous information about the scenes. Here are the links for the completed reels. (Only reel 1 is complete right now and I'll add links as they are completed.)
