Old Film Digitized

Here is some old Super8 film (family home movies) from 1992 that we paid to have converted to a HD computer format. I think the quality is pretty good. I did have some trouble getting the audio in sync however.


UPDATE:

I changed the brightness/contrast of the video and zoomed in a little bit so hopefully now you can see people's faces better.

Six upcoming videos

Since I don't update this blog very often (and neither does Heather) I went through my last tape from our camcorder and extracted 8 clips of stuff that I think will be fun to put on here. I have so far posted 2 of those 8 clips and I will post one every week (on Sunday) so that there will be fresh content on this blog for a while.

So now it is safe to check this blog weekly for new stuff (at least for the next 6 weeks hehehe).

July 4th Video

I'm a little late getting these videos up, but better late than never!

Here is our Fourth of July party for 2009.

Journey to the Jetty!

From a comment I posted on the deseret news (who recently ran an article about the Spiral Jetty).

"My wife and I tried to visit the Jetty in 2004 but ended up being fooled by the "fake" oil-drilling jetty. We took lots of pictures and I left confused and confounded about how the jetty we found did not resemble the ones in the pictures.

Then this year (2009) I again started reading about the spiral jetty and came across something that said that there was another misleading jetty nearby. And I thought "I wonder if we went to the wrong one?" So I pulled up google maps looked at the satellite view of the jetty, and scrolled over a bit and lo and behold, I found the other jetty that we had seen!

So naturally, I _had_ to go back and see the real one. So my wife and I and our two kids (which hadn't been born yet in 2004) all made the day-long trek from West Jordan (2 hours each way, I estimate, which isn't bad). We got video and pictures of the whole thing. Unfortunately, the water level was very low, so the jetty was completely "dry" which was a bit disappointing. Ah well, good times!"

I have to tell you about this picture! My mother in law gave me lots of fabric she didn't want. Jaiden was pretty good while I went through it all. Apparently he couldn't take it anymore and snatched up this blue polka dot fabric and put it up to his forehead. He kept saying head, head as if he wanted it on his forehead, so I tied it around his head and he was the happiest kid ever. He danced around loved having fabric on his head! What a cutie!
