How great to see little clips of the harbour and how it’s changed. I remember the Jemrix as a child in the 70’s, it had a minor mishap coming into the harbour when it ran into the outer west pier. It broke one of the wooden uprights of the fishing deck, to this day there are one or else two that still look slightly newer than the rest.
Hi I scanned this using a wolverine type scanner (reflecta) which scans at 2 frames per second. The scanner produces a mp4 file which is a little bit wobbly in places due both to the non professional quality of the scanner (which costs £300 rather than £8000) and also the technique of the film maker, not everyone is good at holding the camera steady. I slow the film down to 60% to adjust for frame rate and then edit film to colour correct, stabilise (done in small sections) and crop where necessary. I might make a video for my UA-cam channel showing the process I use if anyone would find that helpful.
Amazing! This is so reminiscent of times past. And reminds me of members of my family from all those years ago.
Glad you enjoyed it!

It is amazing what turns up on these vintage cine film, glad it brought back memories for you
What was the frame rate it was scanned at and did you motion blur it in post if you switched from 18 to 24fps to 18fps
