16mm Time Machine

A look through the past spanning the last 100+ years, historical footage covering everything from military to slice-of-life. Scanning mostly produced footage now, but some home movies as well. No AI video, AI colorization, AI upscaling is used on this channel.

All scans/transfers and processing done in-house from film on custom frame by frame scanner. Edited, framed & color-corrected in Resolve, with soundtracks compiled from PD & licensed music for silent. 16mm Frame resolution is "2K" (~1440p), scaled to 2160p for higher quality on YT.

For professional inquiries/use of footage in project, e-mail address is viewable below (on full website, not app).

Cleared films (Government, non-renewed/non-filed published, films of 95+ years, life + 70, or explicitly) are monetized on this channel. Otherwise - just here for your enjoyment or research! Revenue will go towards scanner equipment & film costs.

Little behind the scenes look. Working on a whole lot of 1930s newsreel clips, many of I don't think the public has seen since!

Unfortunately, no soundtrack as it appears to be a direct reduction print from a 35mm negative.

Was able to make a couple of donations to the Letcher County Community Foundation and Appalachian KY General Fund, seems like they do good work where "Christmas in Appalachia" was filmed. If you'd like to donate, the link is here: appalachianky.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/list

Edit- Still work to do, but film's uploaded!

Been busy working on an improved version of my scanner, once finished I'll have a great 1950s National Air Guard film going up, in brilliant Kodachrome.

Wow over 3000 subscribers now, thank you! If you enjoyed the Florida film, I think you would also enjoy this film from a 1929 "land cruise" trip from Kansas to California!
