Film Transfer Serving Idaho and Beyond
Why Transfer? As
film ages it becomes brittle, it can get lost or damaged, and then
copies cannot be made from your film for other family members.
Formats that can be
transferred: 8mm, Super 8mm ,16mm. We also create photo
montages from your photos, slides and film.
Our Process: We provide the
highest quality transfer of your precious memories with state-of-the-art
equipment. Synchronizing the
frame rates of film is also important to getting a good transfer. Commonly,
after film is transferred to video the image from the video will cause the TV
picture to "flicker." Our process provides “film to video
synchronization" for reduced flicker.
The image is
collected from the projector through the lens of a professional 3 chip digital
camera with 530 lines of TV resolution. Then the camera output is fed through a
firewire cable directly into our editing system computer with no loss of
quality. A custom title is produced and some basic editing will be done to clean
up the movie. In basic editing the beginning leader is deleted
& long sections of overexposed or underexposed film is removed (if
requested). All this for a charge of only 14 cents per film foot, which
is $7 per 3" roll ( 50 feet of film.) We can also provide custom
editing for an additional charge of $65.00 per hour. Next, the
digitized film will be transferred to a DVD (or for an extra fee, a Mini DV
or Digital 8 master tape).
Optional: With
custom editing you can make decisions as to the order of the
various segments of your movie and you can cut out portions that you do not want
in your final production. First we will make a VHS copy with time code numbers
visible on the tape when played on a TV. These numbers match our edit system.
So, at your home you can make a list of the changes and then we will make those
changes in our system without losing any quality.
Our
Prices: Minimum per film transfer
order is $60.00 and that includes 1 DVD. You will receive your originals back

extra copy, just bring in the master. Custom Editing $65/ hr.
