You can not think about the old age metal beds which do not have great look or clean edges. But the metal beds sold by this company looks cool and comfortable and ads a essence to the living space. They also sell the antique style and ...

This is an old black & white presentation of the holiday classic that was originally produced by Castle Films in 1946. This video was transferred from an 8mm print of the film that is over 60 years old, and was stored in marginal conditions for several decades. The film demonstrated some degree of deterioration, for which I attempted to compensate with careful cleaning and scanning of the film for digital transfer. Castle Films also distributed this production on larger format 16mm film that included a narrative and orchestration soundtrack, but this was not possible for their 8mm version since film sound was not an option for Regular 8 or Standard 8mm film. (It was introduced to Super 8 in the early 70s.) As an alternative, when Castle Films produced the 8mm print of this production, they overlaid a captioned text narrative in the lower third of the frame that progresses throughout the film. I found various parts of the original soundtrack on the net, but its partiality and limited quality was a determining factor in its exclusion from this digital transfer. Instead, I added a new orchestrated film score to complement the captioned text, using royalty-free orchestrated music beds written by film score veteran, Richard Band, and customized using the SmartSound Sonicfire Pro software package. The film transfer was performed on a WorkPrinter XP system invented by Roger Evans at www.moviestuff.tv, and was captured through a Canon XL2. Although this video presentation shows a significant amount of image degradation due to the the deteriorated condition of the film, it is still an enchanting interpretation of a timeless holiday classic, and retains much of its character through the artifacts of an antiquated medium. I hope you enjoy it.
