Ken Simmester

The purpose of this channel is to distribute the digitally remastered 8mm home movies that were taken by my dad, Ken Simmester and his brother Ron. With a few later taken films taken by myself. The earliest date back to 1963 and span up to the early 80's.
The films vary in duration and content. Many were shot in Hull and cover the Simmester family holidays, outings, weddings, christenings and lots more.
I have copied all of their films frame by frame to digital to preserve them and am now working my way through them, restoring colour, stabilising flicker and editing the bad joints. The added sound is to appease those who can’t watch silent movies, but to be honest, it doesn’t improve them.

Enjoy.
ENJOY
