The end of the year is a time for family. And the perfect time for Framepool to present a new collection of delightful personal family footage: Mum, Dad and two small boys beginning to discover the world around them.
Sometimes our job is like Christmas: a carton of Super8 films labelled “Garden” or “Istanbul, Mexico, America” or “Christmas 1970” turns up. We have no idea what kind of treasure has been entrusted to us until the material is scanned. Only then do we find a small family surrounded by Christmas presents, enjoying winter holidays, hiking on tidal mud flats, celebrating children’s birthdays and Easter. We see the sons as newborn babies and as they take their first steps, splash around in puddles, topple headlong into sand, meet dogs and chickens, squabble and cuddle. This terribly nice family wins over hearts.
We also found titbits like the squirrel using a man as a climbing frame, a home-made animated film with the legendary model railway “Märklin 0 Gauge” and many personal impressions from the world of the 1970s. Finding the right keywords for all this footage and getting it online keeps our keywording department busy.
We wish you a peaceful end to the year with these family images and as much fun as we had discovering this intimate and unusual footage:

FRAMEPOOL’S FILM RESCUE MISSION
|
|
Many people find themselves in the same situation as our nice little family: old personal films are stored somewhere, but unviewable without the right equipment. Framepool has the solution: we can scan your films and review the material. If our experience tells us it could prove successful on the market, we will incorporate it into our archive and Framepool’s quality keywording will ensure it can be found.
As well as rescuing old films from oblivion, this means that they can, with a bit of luck, also provide you with some extra income.

The beginning of winter …
…should be around now in the northern hemisphere – at least according to the calendar. But in many places, winter no longer makes its presence felt the way it used to. Even regions that were able to entice numerous tourists with the prospect of snow and ice until recently are now casting about for alternatives as white winter dreamlands become rare. Except at Framepool: with over 40,000 search hits, we have every kind of winter footage you might require – just search for the keyword ![]() Winter.

A Christmas celebration with a difference
It took place in 1968, on the moon. The astronauts Anders, Lovell and Borman read from the story of Creation to a TV audience of millions. Tears of emotion flowed throughout the world as images of the ‘rising’ Earth appeared on screen and the words “And God said, ‘Let there be light’” were read aloud. “And there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.”
It is as poignant today as it was back then. We have lots of clips with the original sound:
