Planning your video production
Having your films transferred to VHS or DVD is something that
will make viewing your films much easier.
This is a good idea in order to preserve your family's heritage for generations
and ensure that your memories are not forgotten.
Super8 or 8mm rolls
We use Tele-Cine transfer projectors that are specifically designed
to transfer Super8 or 8mm film to video.
Every frame of your film is viewed individually. We watch for
correct brightness, focus and framing and will adjust accordingly.
Most 8mm film was developed on a 50-foot reel with a running time of 7 minutes.
They often came in a yellow box or on a blue and white reel. Costs for video
transfer begins with the total footage. Much of the blank, under-exposed or
over-exposed film will be removed from the new video format. Your original
film is returned often in better condition than when received.
Film transfer to VHS
Up to 2 hours of your 8mm film will fit onto one VHS tape. An
opening title is added to your film transfer, additional chapter
breaks, and music can be added.
Copies of your video transfers can be made.
These make
wonderful gifts for your entire family.
