This is a Fun one! A made-for-tv Feature Film comprised of 3 episodes of Space Patrol from 1954. (see bellow for the full details on the episodes.) This kind of thing was pretty common in the 60s, with Rocky Jones Space Ranger receiving this treatment several times, but I’ve never seen it done for Space Patrol.

We’ve re-captured this previously unavailable episode of Flash Gordon, you can watch it here looking better than ever.

Shouting into the Void is a sitcom from the folks at Ellijay Makerspace about various deep space explorers, charged with building an intergalactic communications network, in a universe that has forgotten about them. They’re alone, they’re barely holding it together, and they’ve been abandoned. It’s a light comedy about a dark subject. Watch the trailer bellow.

Thanks to my wonderful patrons on Patreon and the support the Ellijay Makerspace, I have been able to procure some new equipment for making higher quality archival copies of 16mm films. Here’s a demo of the equipment. As you’ll see in the video, the contrast is better, the image is sharper, and the brightness is improved.

I’ve been playing with encoding videos at very low bitrates. My entry in the Small File Media Festival won Lowest Bitrate, clocking in at around 30Kbps. You can see it here on archive.org as an MKV with h265 video and ogg/opus audio. It was fun, but I thought we could do better.
