You have come to the best place on the planet for film conversions Our Unique Film Conversion Process enables your 8mm and 16mm Movie Film to be Preserved forever. Film Preparation: Each reel of film is carefully examined, prepared, cleaned and lubricated as is necessary. Film requiring restoration is treated to a bath of the finest quality chemicals available; this process gently restores and lubricates the film to enable conversion. Digital Remastering: Our film conversion process is truly state of the art. Using a uniquely designed film interface unit, we capture each and every frame of the film with a high resolution 3ccd broadcast quality digital camera unit. This allows us to capture the image as it was and obtain the highest quality reproduction possible. The film frames are captured to a digital editing system where the film is then completely preserved. From there each frame of the film is re-assembled where the normal flickers and jumps that appear in the original film are eliminated. The proper speed is then applied to the final film so it plays back appropriately on your television. Final Cut: After the film is digitally re-mastered, it is then edited to clean up the film leaders and trails that were capture in the original conversion process. From here, individual reels are edited together and music is applied in our broadcast editing system. After final editing is complete, the film is then authored to DVD or your media of choice. Preview Reels: In the event you do not know what is on your films, we will provide you with a Preview Reel DVD which will allow you to view each film reel on your television individually, prior to us producing the final DVD. Once you view your films, you simply note the appropriate order of each reel and let us know then we’ll complete your final home movie. The Preview Reel is yours to keep. Run Times: Typically 8 mm film is on 50ft reels (they are 3” diameter). Each reel will run approximately 3 to 3-1/2 minutes on television. We will typically put between 1 – 1-1/2 hours maximum on one DVD to provide the ultimate resolution. Finished DVD: After all conversion and editing is complete your final video is delivered on a premium quality DVD packaged in a fancy plastic DVD box complete with full color print and your title. Optionally, we can put any color photo or print on to the disc face and package for you. DVDs are versatile and are the most popular method for video today. DVDs have an extremely long shelf life and will offer conversion opportunities far into the future as standards continue to change. Optionally you can receive your conversions as digital files for editing or archive, media server streaming or online sharing/streaming on sites like Facebook or Youtube.
