Convert 8mm & 16mm Film to Digital
We are small family owned business that takes pride in quality of our digital process. If you allow us to convert your 8mm film or 16mm film to digital, we will make sure your film looks terrific in digital format. It’s simple, we are small so we can give you the personal service and attention to detail your film deserves. This is where we separate ourselves from the big box store. Attention to detail means we pay attention to every aspect of your project from splicing to post editing, making sure your 8mm film transfer is of the upmost highest quality. I've had clients come to me after dropping their film off to the box store and not getting the quality they expected. They call and ask me to redo their film and tapes because the box store missed a part or it was blurry. When you decide to convert 8mm film, you want it professional looking and done right the first time.

John - Working with you was a pleasure. My father was killed in an accident in 1982 and to me those 10 second of him playing with me as a baby are priceless. I appreciate you working with me when I requested to drop the films off and pick them up. I can't believe how clear the film was restored to upon the conversion and how vibrant you made the color.
Thank you, Michelle B. from CT

Our 16mm & 8mm Film to Digital Conversion Equipment
Our equipment is 100% sprocket-less and only handles your film by its edges. Our equipment will not scratch and can not ever scratch your film. All 8mm film and Super 8 film reels are processed frame by frame. Every individual frame is scanned, saved and then later joined together digitally. This is a very important know and very crucial for high quality when converting 8mm to digital or dvd.
There are a few ways to do a film transfer to digital. I have tried them all and I can tell you that this film scanner equipment we use, produces the best results. I would be carful choosing anyone that says their method is better, to me it's more natural or preserves the 'film' look. Those statements are like the "Albums" are better than CD arguments. It's perfect If you like the fuzzy video look from your 8mm film conversion, then I can assume you also still have you old picture tube TV because you don't like clear video.
Frame by Frame film conversion has many advantages, sharp images, high contrast, in focus for 100% of the frame and has No Flicker, No Hot Spots, No Halo, No chromatic aberration which are all common problems with conversion methods our competitors use. HD is always available for a digital transfer to MP4. Resolutions of 720, 1080, and soon 2K are available.
Gold Service
We recommend the gold Service for your film transfer, the gold service takes our process another step further and makes additional color corrections like Gamma, white balance and brightness adjustments for a better look or for color shifted film, we even flip the picture digitally if the reel was wound incorrectly. In addition, we can optionally adds on screen titles to your film transfer* and places a chapter mark to play a specific reel of film from the DVD menu. Our Standard service is great but if you want the best possible look, go for the gold. Make sure you select the gold service when ordering. New to our product line is filtering. Our special proccess in combination with a Neat Filter, gives you fantastic results. Call for pricing on this filter process.
*Screen titles only available if individual 50’ reels are labeled.
Your movie reels Converted in High Definition
For the highest quality film conversion, all 8mm Film is transferred as HD (High Definition 1080). DVD’s are SD (standard Definition), however the digital down convert leaves more pixels of film translating to a better looking film transfer. Although 8mm film and super 8 film is just slightly more than SD, HD make a big difference with the quality of the film transfer. This is because the dots of the film are scattered and would be missed if transferred with SD (Standard Definition). Down converting back to SD is still very high quality compared to a straight SD film transfer. If you would like to have the 720 HD file, we can save your HD film transfer to a hard drive or flash drive. Be sure to check off this option when completing the order form.
