Super 8 movie clip


Just to show how good super 8 movie film is these days, we present a film clip made on Ektachrome 64t in the late 1970’s we believe. The transfer clip is courtesy of Avid Tech DVD Transfer Centre the masters of frame by frame film transfers in Australia.

This clip features a beautiful young todler wandering around a park towards a pram. The origins of the clip are now somewhat vague but definetly from the transfer people Avid Tech.

Frame by frame telecine of super 8 film stock works on a simple enough idea which is cleverly executed and enhanced by the film doctor at Avid Tech. They (Avid Tech) are one of Australia’s most recognised and trusted brand names for professional high quality film transfers from Super 8 films made by Kodak such as the much loved Kodachrome II 40 ASA, Ektachrome, Fuji, Ilford and of course Agfa, all films by great manufacturers of the ever popular super film format

as well as the ubiquitus 8mm films of earler days. 16mm film transfers are also done in SD and HD so go check them out today.
