The Transfer Process:

By marking a number on each reel with a marker, we will catalog and organize your film by arranging it in the order that you provide.  If you don't choose the order your want your reels, we'll try to arrange them by date if labels are provided.

• Cleaning

We use special static-free cleaning solutions and clean your film before it the transfer process.  This removes most of the dirt and hairs that can acumulate on film over the years - providing a better image for the DVD transfer process.

• Splicing

If you provide film on film reels smaller than 200 feet, we will splice those reels onto 400 foot reels - this process helps both in the cleaning process and time-spanning of your film.  If you have bad film or extremely under/over exposed film, it is removed before the transfer in order to give you a consistant picture - there's no use in transfering in 1 or 2 minutes of black or white video.

We then mount the reels on our special Elmo 8mm/Super8mm projectors. These modified projectors produce a non-flicker image by using a multi-face optical glass prism which synchronizes standard 18 or 24 frames per second movie film speed to 30 frames per second of video. This process eliminates the shutter bar or flutter-effect associated with using a video camera to record the film projection. The image from the Elmo projector is focused directly on the lens of the Video camera using a special aerial imaging system.

By processing your film directly to the format of your choice (VHS, DVD, CD, Mini-DV, etc...), we promise the highest possible quality of "true" video for you to guarantee no quality loss.  "True" video meaning that there is no generation loss (copies of a copy).

No matter the format you order, we always make a VHS tape for everyday viewing and sharing.

To send us your order... just print out the film order form and send it with your film to our studio. We'll give you a call when we receive your order to confirm receipt and the processing costs. Once you've approved the order processing, we'll get it done and ship it back to you within 9-14 days (rush service is available).
