80 year old film footage of #hamont Gage Park fountain and folks enjoying a day at the lake. Discovered on a reel of 8mm film. Dates from the 1938 to 1940 era. I cleaned these reels by hand before converting them. It takes time, but it looks pretty good. If you’ve got 8mm or Super8 film...get it converted. You’ll never know what you’ll discover! #ontario #ontariohistory #8mmfilm #independentfilmmaker #documentary

80 year old footage of the collapsed Honeymoon Bridge in #niagarafallsontario discovered on a reel of 8mm film. This likely dates from February 1938. It’s not a simple process but, yes, i@can convert 8mm and Super8 film. You never know what you might find. #ontario #ontariohistory #niagarahistory #8mmfilm #independentfilmmaker #documentary

Mississippi Fred McDowell - I Do Not Play No Rock N Roll - recorded I believe in 1969 - dubbed off an LP onto DAT in the early 2000s by yours truly. DAT Walkman is just one of my anachronistically awesome pieces of old gear that still works perfectly. Can’t say the same for my Sony DTV-59ES. Should have bought a Tascam. #dat #vinyl #blues #sonydatwalkman

I save a lot of things, including old AVID project files and the BetacamSP tapes they originated on. A little peek at the way we used to roll in post production in the mid-2000s, featuring the late great Dave Conley from the Owen Sound Police Service.

Happy Friday to me! I had a drive failure on one of my editing arrays last night. By this afternoon I was rebuilding it with a new drive. I never worry about this stuff too much because I have redundancy...on the array itself and all my raw footage and edit decisions backed up to different locations. Drives are mechanical things and we push them hard in this business...when they inevitably fail it’s good to know that all you’ve lost is time. #raid5 #promisetechnology #backup #independentfilmmaker
