- Hey all, I've had a few 16mm film reels sitting around for a while and finally found a good quality 16mm projector in a flea market. Since professionally digitizing the reels would be prohibitively expensive, I figured I might as project the reels and record the projection with a camcorder. A fair bit of picture resolution is lost in this method, but at least this way we can actually see the basics of what's on the reels without going through the hassle of setting up a projector!
This particular reel features Yellowstone National Park and flower-picking sometime after 1923 (based on when 16mm film was introduced). I wish I could narrow it down more than that, but I'm not sure of the family timeline. I believe the people picking flowers are my great-grandparents, but I'm not entirely sure.
Even though it's a silent film, I left the sound on because I want everyone to experience the grinding sound of a projector while you're watching the reel. It's so relaxing!!!
