8MM / SUPER 8MM / 16MM FILM TRANSFER

IS THIS YOUR FILM?

DO YOU HAVE VALUABLE FAMILY MEMORIES PILED IN A BOX?
Pretty risky...
We can take your silent 8mm,Super 8 and 16mm films and 
transfer those valuable memories to VHS or DVD.

THE TECHNICAL STUFF

Our transfer system uses Stop Motion Capture technology which automatically captures each individual frame of film and creates a standard video file that can then be edited to remove blank sections, add titles, background music, etc. The process is designed for stunning, ultra high quality transfers of regular 8mm and super 8mm film.  It transfers at about six frames per second; transferring frame by frame ensures 100% frame accuracy in order to provide the clearest, most crisp picture possible.

Another unique feature of our transfer system is that it captures 100% of the film frame. Other units often crop as much as 25-30% of the film frame. Our transfer process guarantees that you receive a complete, clear, accurate reproduction of your valuable film.
