Found Film 58 - Super 8 Ektachrome 160 Type A Sound | Shot Over 45 Years Ago | Filmboy24 

That is definitely the same parade as in Film #14. I would bet that is fall of 1978, although it “could be” 1979. That is the Arcadia Band Revue which takes place in November on Baldwin Avenue, starting just north of this perspective by Santa Anita Racetrack. The previous film showed Foothills Jr. High. This film showed Dana Jr. High, and First Avenue Jr. High, which I attended from 1975-1978. If this was November 1978, I was a sophomore at Arcadia High (when it was a 10th-12th school). The drum major was Rick Clough…just checked the yearbook. I spent a LOT of time in my teens at Bowling Square in the background. NO idea who Little Joey’s family would be related to in Arcadia! By the way, Clark Drugs had some of the best ice cream! Nice work! -Jorge

Great film Mike! Sound brings such a different feeling to these home movies. Voices from the past! Great results. "Way to go Richard!" Mike thanks for sharing and hosting your Sunday live streams!

I just marched in our local Labor Day parade carrying old glory this past Monday so this video made me smile. Did anyone else get C.H.i.P.s vibes when seeing what looked to be a CHP motorcycle officer? I was like, Hey, it's Ponch or John at the parade! 😂. Yet another great found film, thanks! 😀

Great result there Mike! Nice contrast and good sound too. I wonder what those marching band people would think if they knew people would be watching on RU-vid in 2023!

Great job, Michael! The sound remains very good after all these years - very likely for two reasons: 1) I did the math back in the late 1970s and if I remember correctly the width of the magnetic track on Super 8 is roughly that of one stereo channel of a cassette tape, but it runs much faster, even at 18fps. So the quality is potentially better. The only drawback was that it's iron oxide tape (as opposed to chrome, ferrochrome or pure iron) which doesn't have that much high end, but according to instruction booklets of cameras and projectors the frequency response goes up to at least 10 kHz, which is good. For comparison: 35mm optical sound goes up to 8kHz and that's it. 16mm optical sound goes up to 6.5 kHz. 2) most tape de-magnetizes over time, because one layer de-magnetizes the other inside the stored roll. BUT on Super 8 film you have the acetate layer between the layers of tape, slowing down de-magnetization over time. I must add that these are all assumptions, but derived from my knowledge about audio tape coming from decades of experience as a musician/producer. Thanks again for resurrecting these past events.

6:33 Hey, it's a CHiPs officer! After seeing that, I started to imagine that Baker and Poncherello would soon enter the scene to a cheesy 80's disco beat. 🤣

Great results, Mike! '79 was a wonderful year; I was just getting into 8mm filmmaking at that time with a Canon 310 XL. Those were the days! Glad you're doing what you're doing, my friend,. Keep it up! Testing a new - to me! - camera, so will be sending a couple rolls your way soon. Have a great weekend!

We're still so proud of Richard!! 7:22

Nice work! $6.24 in 1978 would be around $30 nowadays. Already expensive back then 😯 Makes you wonder why they never bothered to have it developed.

Great film ! A little grainy but great images and sound ! I wish I could get some of my own real BW to come out this well, THANKS ! ! !

Amazing results on that one Mike ... !!!

Another gem and great with sound!

Once again very good sound and developing job Mike.

Just found your chanel with all that interesting stuff! I did some experiments with 8mm film that i developed in caffenol for fun, and what i found is that the remjet is very easily removed (i guess due to the washing soda component) Have fun and keep it up :)

Hey Miguel Great job.

It would be nice if Kodak could figure out a new adhesive and bring back sound super 8. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they had to discontinue it because a chemical in the adhesive was banned by one of the administrations. There might not be a huge market for it since most cameras seem to be silent, but I would buy it up if they ever re-released it. Then I guess I'd be hunting down a camera and projector.

😊👍🏻

Love this one. How exactly do you extract the sound from the stripe? Sound projector with a line out? Thanks again for all you do!

great work! I think the scan could be improved though

Hi Mike, wonder how much a dedicated Super 8 / Standard 8 scanner will cost ? i bought something similar to wolverin a few years ago, wondering if its worth upgrading for something better, a buget of $ 1000.0 or in pounds ?
