I will digitize your 8 mm and Super 8 mm SILENT film using state-of the-art telecine equipment that has an enlarged gate that allows access to 100% of the film frame. Other methods can lose as much as 1/4” of the outer part of the image. My process is unlike typical projectors or other telecine units that crop the image and shoot off the softer, base side of the film. I am able to image off the sharper, emulsion side of the film. I also use a no-heat, super-bright LED light source that will not burn your film they way the old, hot bulbs could.
A great deal of care, time and expense went into making your home movies in the first place, now it’s time to preserve them to ensure that they aren’t lost forever. Save them by having them digitized and transferred to DVD today.
