My Home Movies From Regular Silent 8 MM Films.

In the 1960's we did not have DVDs,VHS video tapes not even cable only three network stations  but we did have silent film cameras for home use.

Each reel had 50 feet of film  giving us 4 minutes of time.We had regular 8 MM and Super 8 MM which had smaller sprocket holes so it can display a somewhat wider picture.Some even came with an animation button which only exposes one frame at a time.

Not only that but color film is three times thicker than black and white. Color film is actually three black and white films and each one covered with its own dye red,green and blue on top of one another.

Below is 6 film reels of my silent home movies(1965), except for Home Movie 0001 the first one, the rest of them are silent total time about 24 minutes.Image quality not so great;But I still can have those treasured fond memories.
