As last time I wrote a special topic featured "Lost 35mm Nitrate Film FOUND !" ( Nov 08, 2013 ) which I've uploaded the video here directly from YouTube. Gladly that some of us here have seen it and gave quite very good 'guessing' questions and inquires.
Now, I am wondering to note that if someone here who might enjoying the aspect of way on 35mm nitrate film preservation effect which the damaged and unprojectionable film elements that needed massive restoration at severe price tag provided. Well, although, there might be the final hours of newly unexposed B/W 35mm negatives and positives rolls in the film laboratories, nowadays . . . As the system is getting on digital works like 2K and 4K there along with unattractively lab cost. All you can have it done very easily without a cent !! If you still have oldest 35mm nitrate films on your hand and dying away . . . so, fear not !! I can instruct you to help you to save your precious day ! So, please see this important instruction YouTube video along with red English Subtitles. Enjoy it, would-be preservers !

Well it is only 8 seconds of film and as you stated 5 days of work to capture it on your scanner
and crop all the frame correctly. I do have to have say you produced some nice results.

Thank you very much. I really appreciatedly that. But, as for rest of my life, I will continuing on to search for more lost 35mm nitrates and have it preserved and uploaded it here for all of us to see it quite clearly at 1080p video presentation.

This is very impressive! I can't believe how nicely the final result turned out. Thanks so much for sharing!

Very nicely done! One suggestion for the next time: gloves!

How long would it take him to do a 90 minute movie????? Can he do "The King Of Jazz" for Universal??????? They can't do it because they are too lazy and say it will cost too much!!!!! Well why can't they pass it over to this guy to do it for free???? He could do about 2 seconds of screentime per day???

No, No. I will not take that 1930 two-colour Technicolor survived movie to be restored, as I only accepted LOST 35mm nitrate films of any lengths for all of us to see it right back where it originally came from. I do the job on 35mm film scanning at approximately 5 - 7 seconds daily ( that's 100 frames at five sec., of 20 frames per second of the silent era projection ) to be done. More than that, frame cropping is painful s--t to do as it is quite time-consuming effect. Takes about a day for 200 frames to be cropped around at four sides - Oh, yuck !! But, rest assured, simple drag 'em all to Window Movie maker and done it quite briefly to put it all to '0.05' duration almost instantly without time wasting effect.
Well, to let you know that I have fully completed my third job on 35mm restoration work of a 55 seconds completed film subject yesterday, but firstly, I will have to confirm about this film to it's original film owner, who gave it to me for preservation, to be uploaded to YouTube and this site with the in-depth detail about it.

Now, I uses Surgical gloves !

I am a little surprised that your picture editor does not have a cropping tool that can be fixed for
size. Just do it to one frame correctly and set that size. Then all you have to do is position the
now cropping box to the right location. Could save you lots of editing time.

In connection from my first video presentation showed up above, I have uploaded five fragment films videos with newest fifth one yesterday. But there's coming the sixth film fragment which is more interesting element - It's newly-found 35mm fragment of approximately 70ft long, probably filmed in 1916. See my article with four photos there - titled 'Found 35mm fragment from Israel - Please ID it'. Stay tuned !
