Oh Boy! It’s Movie Time

I tried adding all (one) of my movies to a web site before, but it did not work out so well. I did not take the time to edit it to remove some less than interesting parts. (Two portions inexplicably upside down, and one that was apparently taken during the solar eclipse, which I did not even realize was going on at the time!  So now I took the time to fix up a really old 8mm movie filmed at our wedding. A couple of years ago I had it converted to DVD since there are not a lot of ways to view 8mm anymore, and I assume there will be even fewer in the future. I took the DVD and ripped it to an mpeg file then did a few simple edits such as transitions between scenes an intro and then some credits. In the end I came up with something even a really bad producer would be embarrassed by. Guess it was a little easier since there is no sound. I do have another version I made with some interesting sound effects added, but getting it “web ready” will have to come a little later on. In the meantime you can see a few of the festivities starting with leaving the ceremony, getting home, packing the car and taking off for an extended honeymoon (in the Fort Wayne Holiday Inn…. five miles away…. for one night…) Try the dial up version first to see how long it will take to load, then try the next one if you want. Only use the final version if you have a good broadband connection and some time. Until the silver halides in the celluloid turn to black,
