COPYING OF SUPER 8 CINE FILM COMPLETED

We have now come to the end of the copying part of the process with the heap of Super8 cine film, there has been some splendid amateur productions particularly on Scotland and Co Kerry in Ireland. The next step is to upload the files to the computer and then put them on the timeline to edit save and take screen shots, they then go on sale at EBay and record stored in the PMP archive digital section. The first two hours are on tape as the film had sound and this was the work around with the kit used those have already been uploaded.

We received an inquiry today about supplying material for a film on South Africa, not sure if anything will come of it although it will go to cinema release. As well as this major feat we have also filed away another pile of digital photo images and uploaded them to our still photo sales site Smugmug see links on the site's link page. There you can purchase from as little as 50p each. I have also submitted renewal requests for our EU health care cards and as well as that started the request process to activate my state pension which will do as beer money if nothing else.

The phone has been quite busy with all sorts, the fund raising meeting for St Oswalds has been postponed so more time available this evening. The weather has been quite atrocious, not sure if we'll get out to film before Wednesday or Thursday. I remembered to phone my auntie Thelma this afternoon as she is well into her nineties now and I used to phone regularly from work, being super busy at home makes it easy to forget. Cancelling the fund raising committee resulted in some bounced emails, investigation showed that the person concerned had over a thousand messages in their in box and had maxed out! Amongst the latest photos were those at Crick in Jan this year, our first investigation there as to possibilities.
