8mm Film to Digital - The Way It Should Be Done

Your priceless film must be cared for properly and the transfer done with the correct process in order for your reborn home movies to be their very best.
Every reel in an 8mm film to Digital project must be thoroughly cleaned. This requires microfiber cleaning cloths and antistatic cleaner designed specifically to clean 8mm film.
The film needs to be captured frame-by-frame. Don’t be fooled by projector-based capture when every frame is needed for a true transfer from film to digital.
Most film color fades over time. Moreover, not every film was originally taken with the best lighting and exposure. Insist on color and exposure correction to be included in the price that you pay. This includes both capture-based and post-capture editing correction for backlighting and color.
Most film has blank spots at the beginning, end and occasionally in the middle – these should be edited out of the final product.
Your film deserves basic custom menus and scenes included in the basic price for that professional transfer look and fee.
Depending on your needs, you need the choice between SD and DH video.
