13 years ago, I digitized a bunch of super8, high8 home movies.
I edited together a little video of my sister and myself from birth to probably 4 years old. Lots of it was us naked running around in Northern Scotland, some of me as a baby in California, on road trips etc. I cut it to ‘North American Scum’ by LCD Soundsystem, burnt it to DVD (👴🏻) and sent it to my parents for Christmas.
Which reminds me I still have some rolls left to digitize - can I borrow your scanner?
Love it! It’s a thrill being able to capture these moments and have them in a modern format. This scanner does a great job and I used an AI enhancer to clean up the digital footage. You can borrow the scanner for sure! I was hoping some friends might be able to use it.
There's something magical about those old Super 8s! It was quite the journey bringing all of these to life. I ended up with over 50 little movies to share with family and friends. And imagine... that clip of me at Christmas 1979 was in Dollard, probably right around the corner from you?
Beautiful stuff.

I have a whole load of slides to get through from my grandparents as well…
You had me at the word Super8. What a wonderful collection of time capsules! Priceless…
