RU-vid Channel of Dave Eldergill the author of "The Nightingale Quarter" and "A Long Walk Home"
Cine Film Memories is a playlist of archives of amateur home movies shot on cine film.
If you would like a digital copy of any of the films on my RU-vid channel, edited without titles and music please contact me. I have the files as recorded from the scanner and can re-edit them to create the stabilised and colour corrected MP4 file, but will not add my watermarks or titles. As with any found film the actual copyright is owned by whoever shot the film, even if that person is unknown. I would however make a small charge of £25 for the service of providing the film. Let me know if you are interested. Contact me at dave.eldergill@yahoo.co.uk
Going for a walk is a playlist of photographic montages of various walks including The South West Coast Path, Offa's Dyke, and The Wales Coast Path
Dave Eldergill Music is recordings of self-penned songs.
At 1.52 looks like a guy is trying to 'weigh' the girls boobs. He must have said something as well because she seems to ignore the first incident then turns round looking none too impressed.
Hi Dave! Great footage of Eastleigh carnival. I am artist in residence this summer and I’d love to find out more about Eastleigh’s carnival of days gone by. Could I arrange a chat with you? Thanks! Meg :)
Hi Meg, I'm glad you enjoyed watching the footage. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the carnival. I collect old cine film, from eBay or car boot sales, digitise it and edit it before uploading to my channel. My channel contains footage from a wide variety of geographical locations and historical periods. I actually began collecting this material as a resource for my own artistic practice, which explores notions of how personal histories intersect with wider cultural memories. However if you wanted to use some of the footage for your residency I am quite happy. (I could possibly find an unedited mp4 file which may be more useful without my watermarks, stabilisation and colour corrections)
There’s a wonderful set of murals of the old fisherman down at the fishing port near Porto Abrigo restaurant- wonderful commemorating their working people in that way!
Thanks, I've only just started to add sound effects to the cine films, so there is a little bit of experimentation at the moment. I've tried various speeds to convert the original 18 frames a second and have found that slowing film to 70% seems to give about the best results although if it seems to be a little slow I may increase that slightly when I edit the next film.
@DaveEldergillCineFilm what are you using to transfer? The image is very good. As I said, great sound work. The trick is to use appropriate sounds for the correct shots, not just a wild track, and you have done it very well. I've done the same using folly work as well, which is an art in itself and can be lots of fun when it comes together right. Nearly all my films were shot silent and going back to dub them has been a great way to reminisce happy times. Great work, keep it coming.
I use a reflecta scanner and although not professional quality I have been quite pleased with the results and also a lot can be done in the editing. The films which I buy from eBay or car boot sales, vary tremendously in condition. I wish I knew more about who the people in the films were.
Wonderful collection of scenes. Lyme Regis has not changed that much, other than cosmetic, over the 60+ years I've been associated with it. Most significantly, the beach has been improved and the walk from the new car park via Black Ven cliff is a joy. We can't do anything about the amount of traffic but we can still enjoy one of my favourite places in Dorset. Super video and great choice of music, thanks! 🥰
I lived all my young life just off the left of these shots in Jubilee Road. I remember the clanking of the trains and the turntable. There was also a Brittains model shop in the row of buildings backing onto the railway yard. Smarts Newsagents opposite the railway too.
Going by the comments here: 1. Smoking indoors was classy; 2. No mobile phones or internet meant people were in constant ecstasy; 3. Bring back National Service; 4. Love Thy Neighnour.

Hi, the music is from a selection of copyright free music provided by RU-vid. This music is called "Leaning On the Everlasting Arms" by Zachariah Hickman
REMEMBER THE BOATING LAKE,GOOD TO SEE HOW NEAT AND TIDY IT WAS ,WENT TO HUNSTATON MANY TIMES IN THE 50s AS WE ONLY LIVED 15 MILES AWAY AND COULD GET THERE ON THE TRAIN!!LIKE THE FILM VERY MUCH!!
Notice how they were all squinting when the camera panned to them? My parents had an 8mm camera when I was a kid in the 1960s and it basically had a floodlight attached to the top for when you used it indoors. You can see the reflection of it in the television.
