The Wolverine Film 2 Digital MovieMaker takes an image of each frame as it plays on a small viewing screen.
If you were around during the ‘70s and early 80’s you may have watched family films on, well, film! Instead of the smartphone cameras we have today, many families had an 8mm or Super 8 film cameras to capture vacations and family reunions. Once the films were developed your family might have hung a bedsheet on a wall and watched the films playing out of a projector.
The films were usually only about 5 minutes long and that was an awful lot of work for just 5 minutes. After a few years, you may not have gone to all the trouble and those films were placed in a box, not to be seen again for 30-40 years.
