Super 8 Wide Home Movie
S ince my last two video experiments created by using only still images captured in a fast burst mode on the camera were successful and actually came out better than I expected, I decided that perhaps I should try to come up with a way to effectively mimic old Super 8 home movies too. For this new experiment, I chose a short clip of our grandson, Lukey, playing tabletop shuffleboard at Agave Taco & Tequila Casa. ________________________________________________________ I should start with a disclaimer... This particular video clip was perhaps the most challenging clip I could have chosen for this experiment. I did this purposely just to see what I could do. This video clip was a high contrast clip with deep blacks and dark shadows. Additionally, it was a highly compressed video which minimizes any leeway in editing the file. In the future, if I want to mimic old 8mm/Super 8 home movies, I'll use a more appropriate clip captured using more appropriate camera settings. ____
