More Screenshots of 16mm films

Here are a few more screenshots to show the color fading facing the 16mm films. The top image is that of King Hall I believe, but I cannot tell from the fading of the color which could be restored. The image below that is a long shot of people outside either the Old Main Building or the Old Administration Building. The three men in the center are from (L to R) Dr. MC Patterson, Mr. John R. Clements, Dr. ML Lowe. The final image is of Dr. Woodrow Brown teaching Theology using Dr. Wagner's Chart. The first two images are from the older of the two 16mm films. The third is from the May 1956 16mm film. Both need to be restored for the future and for better image quality.

Digital Restoration of two 16 mm films

One of the things that we did a few years ago was getting two 16 mm films from the school transferred to DVD. Now the company here in Vestal that did it only transferred it. There is a company online called Video Conversion Experts. They have a wonderful transfer and restoration process and I would love to have both of these films done by them. The cost is about $1300 to have both of them done. The images above are from the DVD we have now. The first two images on top are from a 16 mm film from around 1946 or so. The quality is very bad. The second two are a couple shot from the 16mm film done in May of 1956 and narrated by Gordon Davis. The quality of film is much better, but it too could be restored. Age has crept upon these precious films and soon the 16mm films will not be able to be restored. I would love to have them done as soon as possible.
