My husband does, I think it's really cool (disclosure: I may be a little biased). He buys random super 8 film canisters on eBay, scans them and uploads them on his channel.

It's mostly home movies so you get an unedited flavour of the past.
Ok this is so cool and I'm subscribed
I hope he knows he is a hero for not overlaying an obnoxious watermark on the footage.
This channel is great! Thanks for sharing.
Eh they are so frickin' fantastic! I love it. We have some of those somewhere that were from before my time and we set up a projector once to view them. Must have been 40 years ago or so.
I'm gonna ask my mum tomorrow if we still have them. There have been multiple house moves since so I'm not terribly hopefully bit I'll let you know.
Subscribed with the bell.
That's so kind of you! Let me know if you find your reels I'm sure husban-san would love to scan them (and send them back on an SD card if you don't want them uploaded for the world to see)
That's very kind of you too! I'm sure my mum would be OK with it after an initial once over. These kind of things have historical importance I feel.
So she got back to me and thinks she still has them. Unfortunately they are buried in an absolutely massive pile of unorganised boxes in my sister's house box room. I think it would be a full day of effort to go through them tbh and it's going to be a long time before I have that kind of time available. Life is hectic.
I'll keep it in mind though. Thanks again. I do appreciate the kindness.
What does he scan them with?
He has a Kodak reels film digitiser (that's what it says on the machine), it scans the film bit by bit and transfers it on an SD card. It's kind of loud and annoying lol
I'm not a history buff but I bet my dad would love this channel.
