Bring Your Old Film to Life Again

The older the media, the more precious and valuable the content can be…and of course, the most vulnerable to deterioration. If you are in possession of film reels, please give extra attention to getting these preserved sooner than later! Here is a quick film history lesson…

As an alternative to the standard 35 mm film for making “real” movies, Eastman Kodak rolled out 16 mm film in 1923 for amateurs. The home/amateur film market really got a boost in the early 1930’s with the release of 8 mm film, which was less expensive and less bulky. This was the standard until the invention of Super8 film in 1965, which had the same size as 8mm, but an improved design allowed for 50% more image. These film format sales were dissolved in the early 90’s.
