I Watched LOST 8mm Film Reels From the 1960's...

I bought a huge bundle of old stuff from a guys barn, and this box of film reels dating all the way back to the late 50's was included in the deal. The film reels really triggered my curiosity so I figured I would take you along with me while I watched them! it was a very interesting and eerie experience.
Thanks for watching! Make sure to like the video and subscribe! Also follow me on Instagram @foxtailwhipz

the big reels are 16mm films, on cores. They set into "split reels" which are in two parts and screw together. You'll need a 16mm projector.
Also, you REALLY need to get a Q-tip with some isopropyl alcohol and clean the projector gate. That's the tiny rectangular opening behind the lens where the light shines through. You can see hairs and such on the screen because it's dirty. While you're at it clean the other bits that the film touches. And you can clean the film too - run it through a cloth with some alcohol on it.
Another thing: the film playing poorly around 9:20 was probably due to the loop of film above or below the gate being too small.

I couldn't, say that better, myself !!

[@stevenhoelderich9490]

You need , a 8mm projector, teacher & you have one, right here.

[@muzhikforchaplin1203]

4:20 I was worried you were going to burn the film

[@Diamondman63783]

me 2

[@ricknelsonm]

I also, cause I heard when you stop the film, you need to turn off the lamp or it may burn the film,

[@A.H-RBHSxcTF]

I'm guessing that the lamp was on its last leg and didn't produce enough heat to burn it. But any second I thought that the black ish-brown was gonna spread across the film and they were gonna just watch it happen

The 16mm reels, like Smichelsen said, can be used on split reels, but they may not be for projection. It could be camera original from a production, or some kind of internegative or intermediate film, not intended for projection, but for making prints (copies). So, if you find a split reel and a 16mm projector, be sure to check to see what kind of material it is. There should be some writing on the leader and check in the cans for any lab paperwork.

That long movie was the most exciting thing I have ever watched! The thrills, the action, the suspense, and drama...nothing compares to it!
I hope they made a sequel!

[@V3kell]

Duuuude, I would love anything out of that especially the projectors😄

[@robertgregson2183]

when you feed in the film theres a slack bit at the top and bottom of the bit before it feeds into the light section (the thing clicks out and you close) leave plenty of slack on these loops of film to avoid jerky films and the lense were the light comes out can turn to focus

[@user-md6qw6qc9r]

I remember movie theaters using these machines. When did they make the switch to digital at movie theaters?

[@stevenhoelderich9490]

Hello, when you see the projector banging you stop it & fix it !!

[@DougEStile-gj7wy]

The film at 8:43 is upside down and backwards because the film was wound onto the reel head (beginning) first. Winding it onto another reel should fix it.

[@rotwiler7674]

I just found a box of 8mm reels that say 1957 on some in attic of house I bought, now need to figure out way to watch them.

[@amaryllisjackson1946]

0:53 What's wrong with it?

[@adamhosein6681]

Nice 👍

[@Vahmrick60]

Also, if someone hasn't mentioned already, you have a lot of 35mm darkroom reels and tanks for processing 35mm still film.

[@cjpenning]

Looks like Mackinaw City and the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. The bridge was built in the 1950s.

[@carriecoryell1417]

You are putting the top reel on wrong. Second film had not been rewound so it showed upside down and backwards.

[@Film2Digital]

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@zomalfa4363]

How do you transfer 15 inch reels?

[@thegoodybarn9060]

There's a dingleberry on tha lenz

[@history0793]

I am in the process of doing the same project. Thousand of feet of 8mm and 16mm film(s). I am trying to see if anyone knows how to tell a story-even a simple one. I did find a couple of them that are good examples. We should compare notes. ( From the history of recorded sound foundation in Arcadia.)

[@johnroberts1873]

I randomly came across a RUclips video about random shit 60 years ago.
I think I recognize an old water tower. I grew up within sight of it 😂

Please learn how to use the projector properly, and the difference in film formats before you do more videos. You are going to ruin the film.
