16mm Time Machine
A look through the past spanning the last 100 years, historical footage covering everything from military to slice-of-life. A mix of independently shot silent home movie footage primarily from the 1920s-1940s, along with produced footage up to the 1970s.
All scans/transfers and processing done in-house from original film on custom frame-by-frame scanner. No AI tools used. Edited, framed & color-corrected in Resolve, with soundtracks arranged from public domain & licensed music for most silent ones. 16mm Frame resolution is ~1400p-1800p scaled to 2160p for higher quality on YT. 8mm ~1200p.
Please reach out if interested in use of footage in project, e-mail address is viewable on desktop.
Select cleared films (Government, non-renewed/non-filed published, films of 95+ years, author + 70, or explicitly) are monetized on this channel. Otherwise - just here for your enjoyment or research! Revenue will go towards scanner equipment & film costs.

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!
