We offer a full suite of solutions to convert and transfer your Regular 8mm Film and Super8 Film reels into a digital file or DVD/Blu-ray format.
8mm is a small format film, invented by Kodak in the 1930s as a lower cost home-movie alternative to the 16mm.
Though identified by it's frame width as 8mm, the original incarnation of the format would actually use a 16mm film spool that users would expose only half the width of the film, then flip it over to expose the remaining 8 millimetres for additional footage. When originally processed the 16mm film would be split down the middle reducing the final product to an 8mm strip. You might find this in your collection as a Double 8.
Later, the 8mm would evolve into the cartridge based Super 8, and eventually supporting the inclusion of sound on the films via. magnetic strips that can be found along the edges of the frames. The ease of use, due to the effortless handling of the film, made the format a popular choice for average consumers and amateur film makers alike.
Our technology and process provides for a true frame-by-frame digital capture of your film with the option for a "Standard Definition" OR "High Definition (2K)" scan best suited for today's HD-large screen TV's. The price to convert 8mm / Super8 / 16mm film to a unique DIGITAL FILE (one per reel) or DVD (chaptered) is based on a per reel / per linear foot of film basis which is prorated to reflect the actual amount of film we process – you only pay for what you get back.
Our Standard Grade process provides for a RAW transfer of the film to either Standard Definition MPEG4 digital file or DVD.
Our Family Grade process provides for full “digital clean up” of the footage adjusting for contrast, light and grain as well colour-correction to either a (1) Standard Definition MPEG4 digital file or DVD or (2) a High Definition MPEG4 (HD) or an uncompressed .MOV digital file.
