Save and share your precious memories of yesteryear with the people you love, digitally, thanks to the easy-to-use 8mm and Super 8 Movie Reels2Digital MovieMaker from Wolverine. The MovieMaker comes with an empty 5" reel and two adapters for use with your collection of 3- and 5" film reels. Simply install an SD or SDHC memory card up to 32GB, fit an adapter in your film reel, insert on the left side of the MovieMaker, brush away light-table dust, close the capture door, thread the film onto the empty reel, set the sliding switch to 8mm or Super 8, select options on the start-up screen, and press Record. After your film has been digitized, move the empty reel to the right and press Rewind. That’s pretty much all there is to it. In case you need more information, the MovieMaker comes with an instruction manual. There’s even a demonstration video on the manufacturer’s website.
The versatile MovieMaker provides three separate ways to view your newly digitized movies. Choices include transferring your movie from memory card to computer, watching on the start-up screen, connecting to a television with the included TV-Out cable, or connecting a computer via the USB 2.0 port. The MovieMaker is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. During digitization, movies are converted into MP4 files at 720p/30 fps. So you can get started right away, the MovieMaker includes a blower brush, power adapter, and cord.
Among the MovieMaker’s features is the ability to lighten or darken exposure during digitization. Use the -5 setting to darken movies that are faded or too light, the +5 setting for brightening, or the 0 setting when corrections aren’t required. Having control of the process, avoiding the expense of costly lab conversions, and being able to digitize movies whenever you feel like it are just a few of the benefits of owning a MovieMaker. Budding cinematographers will be thrilled to have a way to incorporate the unique look and feel of 8mm and Super 8 film into their projects. With the MovieMaker, nostalgia isn’t what it used to be—it’s digitally better!
