WHY CHOOSE US:



For over 40 years, we've worked with professional filmmakers and archives to transfer their films. The process we use for a Hollywood feature is the same one we use for your priceless home movies.



QUALITY



You won't find that transfers both home movies and professional films and archival material. Why? Because we custom build our scanners. We have technology to restore a Hollywood feature, but because we've developed our scanning technology in-house, we have a price point that won't lock out everyday consumers.



TRUST



Our company has been operating for over 38 years, and in that time we've been relied on by tens of thousands of clients to handle their priceless films. That trust is something we don't take lightly. Everything we do is focused on keeping your film safe and ensuring that the digital conversion stays true to the qualities of the original film.



SERVICE



When you call us, a human will answer. If you message us, you'll talk to an actual person, not a chat bot. We're not a company who hides their phone number - in fact it's on top of every page on this site. Give us a call, we'd love to help you answer any questions.



HOW IT WORKS



A PLACE FOR A SUBTITLE



1. SHIP US YOUR FILM:


Package up your reels, print out an order form, and send it on over to us. When we receive the film, we'll be in touch right away. We'll confirm an estimate for the project and if anything looks different from what you expect, we'll let you know.



2. PREP AND TRANSFER:


We handle it from here! The first step is film prep and cleaning. We'll review the film, fix broken or incorrect splices and clean the physical film. Then we will hand your project to an experienced colorist who will monitor the transfer and make adjustments to light and color to make your digital transfer look as good as possible.



3. ENJOY THE SHOW:


Once the film is scanned, we'll record the transfer to the media of your choice. We'll calculate the exact amount of film that was scanned and process payment at that point. We'll ship everything back (original film included) via FedEx or USPS (depending on which is faster). We maintain digital backups of your files through shipping so you can rest assured your transfer will be safe. All that's left is to sit back and enjoy the show!



EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AT A GREAT PRICE.



Four levels of film transfer to meet all your 8mm and 16mm needs.



GIVE US A CALL!



No, seriously! We know better than anybody that all this info can get a little complicated.

To make things as easy as possible, we highly encourage you to give us a call at 1-800-865-7172.


That's a direct number to our studio. We don't have any salespeople, and we don't outsource to a call center. We're happy to answer any questions about our process, film itself, recording media, and anything else you might be wondering about.


There are no dumb questions, either. We love helping people who are just starting their research on digitizing their film, no matter where they end up transferring their film.



WHAT WE CAN DO



BEFORE AND AFTER EXAMPLES




Quality is our goal above everything else. Our machines are custom-designed specifically to improve the images on old film. That technology, matched with the experience of our colorists, is why our results cannot be matched by other transfer companies.


Below are some examples of the issues that we typically see from the film that we scan, and what our colorists were able to do to counteract it.


Whether the film was incorrectly shot or the colors have shifted over time, we are able to breathe new life into them using state-of-art scanning technology and utilizing DaVinci software.

WE TRANSFER SOUND FILM!





We are one of the only companies in the country with the capability of transferring 8mm and Super 8 sound film. Other big-box transfer companies won't even mention sound transfer because they simply can't do it. In fact, if you're film has a soundtrack, they won't even tell you ahead of time. They'll just transfer it as silent film and send it back to you. You could lose your family member's voices, and not even know it.


Not us. If you're unsure of whether or not your film has a soundtrack, we'll be happy to give you an assessment. Our services extend to both home movies (8mm, Super 8 and 16mm) and professional films (16mm and 35mm). We can transfer any format of optical track, as well as composite magnetic sound and full-coat magnetic sound.

COLOR CORRECTION





This split screen shows the results of our color correction process used in an 8mm to digital transfer. The bottom portion of the frame shows the film without any color correction applied. The top portion show the film after we've applied our color correction process to enhance the image and bring the film back to life.



DIRT & SCRATCH REMOVAL



Available with our Ultra 1080p HD Transfer





The scratches in this clip are typical of what we see from film everyday. This sample was taken from an 8mm film transfer, featuring 70+ year old film that we transferred using our Ultra 1080p HD process. Dirt, dust and scratches were removed and a small amount of stabilization was added to the image to achieve archive-quality.



A BIT ABOUT US



We are the company that has made Hollywood-level film transfer available to everyone.





In our 30 years of scanning motion picture film, we've provided broadcast-quality film transfers for countless professional filmmakers, documentarians, archives, professional sports leagues, universities, and museums. We've also been trusted to scan movies for thousands of families.


This range of clients, and our technology, is what makes us unique.


Few companies transfer 8mm film to DVD while also having the ability to deliver high quality 16mm and 35mm film transfers suitable for national broadcast or theatrical distribution. The companies that can deliver that quality usually have a price-point that is too high for consumers. Not us. We outfit Rank Cintel film scanners with the unique, Ultra-HD optics, imaging systems and light engines that we design and create on-site in our machine shop.


Our goal is to breathe new life into your film, creating the best transfer available. Your films are transferred on the same machines that we use for scanning feature films. Monitored scans are assigned to a colorist who will work with the film to enhance color and light while the film is in the scanner. And this is just the first step. We then enhance the image using DaVinci software - the same program that has been used to restore Hollywood features and influence the way we see film for decades.


This level of sophistication is rare and almost never applied to home movies. With our color correction process, we aim to put our cutting edge technology to good use, ensuring that we are transferring as much detail from the film at the best quality possible.

DO WE TRANSFER OTHER MEDIA?





No, we only concentrate on motion picture film. Film is unlike most other media. It has a tremendous amount of detail, texture and depth.

A home movie shot in the 1920s has a significantly high quality inherent to it than a camcorder tape from the 1990s or 2000s. Our focus is on tapping into that quality and transferring as much detail as we possibly can.


Most companies that offer a catch-all transfer service use consumer-level equipment when they transfer media. That may be suitable for digitizing VHS and camcorder tapes. But when it comes to movies, there's a level of quality and detail that just can't be captured without the right technology.
