turquie 1971

Posted on by Ethem

I am hunting for old, dusty super8 film reels of amateur travelers.

Here is one dated 1971, a Belgian family (I suppose) travelled to Turkey between 1-5 April 1971. They start their trip in Ankara in Ataturk boulevard. They stay at Grand Ankara Hotel. Then they travel by car to the Anatolia and visit Cappodocia. Their next step is Istanbul, where they make sightseeings including a Bosphorus tour, Galata tower and old peninsula. They stay at the Hilton Hotel. The family eventually travels to Jerusalem from Istanbul.
The super8 film was telecined by Studio Bidav in Istanbul. Yes, I know the quality is not that good.
I have performed the montage in iMovie.

Once again, I would like say:
long live super8

I am hunting for old, dusty super8 film reels of amateur travelers.
Here is one dated 1973, a Belgian family (I suppose) travelled to Turkey, they arrive to Izmir airport and then make visits to Ephesus and the surrounding region. They return to Izmir and head towards the UK.
Sometime ago I sent this reel for a telecine service via for-ever.be.
And today I have played with iMovie to minimalisticly montage and inserted a funky soundtrack.

super8 films

Posted on by Ethem

Post man made a nice treat this week. I received back my super8 films which were processed and telecined at Dwayne’s Photo.  During lazy summer nights I can do a little bit movie editing and here are the results. I can take you back to winter with the snow in Brussels, summer with my fathers’ daily gardening adventures and finally to the Aegean coast.
