Transfer of cine film to video or DVD in the UK.
Please note that due to family circumstances I am not based in Cardiff for the forseeable future, Please either email or phone me for contact details if you are willing to post your cine films for me to work on.
Take your old cine films out of the box or attic and
let us turn them into happy memories which will
last forever on DVD.
We presently work with both Standard 8, Super 8mm film,
and with sound.
Amateur cine usually ran at 18 FPS (frames per second), while mainly professionally produced film ran at 24 FPS.
Mostly cine film was silent, if the film has sound it will usually be on a magnetic strip which can be seen as a brown strip along the edge of the film.
We
professionally clean your film, and inspect it for broken splices which we repair. Your films are then digitally enhanced to make them clearer and brighter than you might expect! We digitally crop all the sides of the picture, correct the colour balance if the original colours have faded over time, and remove any blank spaces etc.
The cine films will be playable through a menu on the DVD, which is a list of titles describing the what the films are about.
Please note that all of your cine films are returned to you, more often than not in better condition than when you sent them.
Please
enquire if you have other film formats - we can
usually help.
Our prices for 8mm include a £10 set up charge, for orders with large quantities of film, please contact us to discuss pricing..
Our Standard prices are:
3inch reels - £10 each
5inch reels - £18 each
7inch reels - £25 each
This is what two satisfied customers had to say:
- I can confirm that the postman woke me up this morning with the package containing your DVD. As you say, there was a lot of shade in many parts of the cine film, but nevertheless, as an old family document, it's a worthy part of our history! We're very pleased to have it in such relatively good condition, and I'm sure my eldest son (whose christening it was just 30 years ago this month) will be overjoyed to have a copy. Once again, many thanks for your help.
- Viewed the results of your labours this morning. What an amazing difference
you have made to the original films. It is a dramatic improvement on the
juddery dirty film that I saw a couple of weeks ago. I understand that the
original film of Milford Haven was pretty appalling but even I can recognise
places and landmarks you have achieved miracles.
