Mudbone Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Is anyone interested in seeing video from the 2003 Flint Nationals? I have been transferring old home movies and video to digital. I found several Buick National videos. Mud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Did you drink any of the water? Indy has sent at least 9 semi's loaded with bottled water, more being collected. I think Flint is in trouble for a lot of reasons, very sad, very, Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I suspect that when we think of "Flint", we think of the whole metro area, rather than the geographical "Flint", which is a part of the whole area. Might be interesting to see just how much of the geographical area is involved. Still, it pains me to hear of these troubles. NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'll get this thread back on topic by saying heck yeah I would love to see the videos. Thanks for taking all the time and effort to do this mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found several Buick National videos. Mud Mud,I would personally be interested in them because I attended with my 1958 Buick Special and while having camera in hand..... Forgot to bring the charger! Duh!Was still a great event but not many pictures. I'd be willing to compensate you for any video that contains my car in the 1958 group.Shoot me a PM if it would be worth your while.Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbone Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Ok, I had two hours of video. I was able to cut out about 30 minutes of it. I did not cut out any cars that were at the show. I did cut the museum tours and some street dancing. Some of the video is from the same show areas but different days so there is duplication. It is rendering right now. I hope to have it uploaded yet tonight if possible. (I was out sandblasting nuts and bolts while it is rendering) Mud 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbone Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Ok, you better get a least two bags of popcorn and some beverages of choice because I could only get it down to one and half hours!

dei Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Mud, SPEC-TAC-U-LAR!Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!Great video! While I did not see my car it brought back all to life those three days for me!There were enough 58's you filmed to more than satisfy me as I all too briefly spoke with the owners. The closest I have of my car was a picture someone posted on the Michigan Chapter site which just happened to have me and my son standing behind the car. Hard to believe it is coming up on 13 years this summer....(sigh) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Wiegand Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Mr. Mudbone, are you going to put this on a DVD? Maybe I should ask if you have the capability to do this. IF YOU DO, I could send you several blank discs and have you download the video onto them for me and several friends. I would also ask how much you would need to do this for me. Also, I loved John D's comment about loving the EARLY cars. Terry WiegandSouth Hutchinson, Kansas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I took a lot of photos but not much video. I also just found 2013 on another computer. It look like there is a lot there. I will have to take a look later this week.

Brian_Heil Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 This was great. Thank you for posting! While I know you did not plan it, the first 3rd where you are recording the arrivals, you were standing right in front of my car. The last 3rd where you record departrures, you were standing across from it and feature it in almost every clip. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Is anyone interested in seeing video from the 2003 Flint Nationals? I have been transferring old home movies and video to digital. I found several Buick National videos. Mud Be sure not to get rid of the original movie film.I've seen first-hand how the original formats areMUCH clearer than when they're transferred to other media, though I haven't seen your Youtubevideo yet. The AACA Annual Meeting every year has aprogram where original 16mm car films are shown--old car ads, salesmen's training films, etc.When the AACA Library showed some films "converted"to digital format, they WEREN'T EVEN CLOSE in clarity. I assume film-industry professionals can do it with no loss;but even the AACA Library apparently didn't have that capability.

Brian_Heil Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 And you were kind enough to have my car again filmed multiple times in the 2013 video. I have the BCA Pre War Division Banner hanging from my car. I agree also on the 2003 Centennial Plate. Have proudly had mine on my car since the day it was handed out. People still love it.

I assume film-industry professionals can do it with no loss;but even the AACA Library apparently didn't have that capability.The quality is pretty good for the most part. All but the 2015 was taped with the old Sony handy cam that uses the small cassette tape. The 2015 video was in HD and there is a big difference in quality. The problem with the old tapes is that the camera equipment is getting old. And they won’t be making them anymore. Used ones are still bringing some decent money because people have not converted them to DVD and now their camera doesn’t work. My brother just called and asked to borrow my camera to convert some video as his camera is now not working as it has been sitting around for years. So anyone that has old video on cassette tape they better get them transferred before all the equipment is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
