Have a bunch of dusty 8mm or Super 8 film reels lying around? Interested in preserving those classic home movies for future (digital) generations? Ashley Maynor of the Preservation Project has begun a quest to do just what her site title says: preserve her grandmother's ancient home movie reels. In Part I of her adventure, she explains her decision to have a post house handle all of the film transferring to video. In the upcoming Part II of her story, she will explain the pros and cons of her post house of choice. Good reading. Insightful.
