Old Home Movies Aren’t Silent Anymore!
True story. I had an old home movie my mother had taken of my dad bragging about a recent fishing trip in the early 1960’s. The movie was interesting but without sound no one would really understand what my dad was bragging about.
I had the idea. I’d edit the old video clip and add sound. I was there so I became my dad’s voice and explained what was happening in the old movie. What a great way for the kids to get to know they great grandpa! Click the play button on the movie below to see what I did to add new life to this old silent movie.
