Important : Please note that this Super 8 cine film, which was taken over 40 years ago, is showing signs of age deterioration including graininess and slight image fading. The film has been professionally digitized using a frame by frame conversion method with a filter being applied to smooth out the graininess which unfortunately means the film is not as sharp as it should be. A transfer I obtained using the old telecine method is somewhat sharper but the colours are very washed out so have been unable to use that version. If watching on a computer set to 1080p HD and minimize your screen size to improve image quality but watching on a TV should improve lighting and colour reproduction.
I can possibly still get a better quality copy of this film from a professional film transfer company but the cost, after having aleady paid for two transfers (the last, being the best copy, is the one you see here), is just too expensive for me.
