| "A belated thank you for the transfer of the 8mm film to DVD. We're very happy with the result and can't wait to give it to my wife's parents for their 50th anniversary. Great job. You clearly have many years of experience with film." Richard Fox |
| "Lovely job! Ta lots!" Bib, Essex |
| "Wow, what an excellent job you have done! The addition of a very appropriate soundtrack really works well. I have not shown the film to the rest of the Elham Historical Society committee yet, however I am sure they will be very pleased as well. Many Thanks" Bryan, Suffolk |
| "Just wanted to say a big thank you for managing to get my box of 8mm to DVD in time for Christmas. Superb job!" Stephen Woodford |
| "I didn't expect much from my 43 year old cine films, but you have done a really superb job and even made my father cry. I'm going back up into the loft now to trawl for more reels!" Douglas |
| "Having delayed getting my old telecine films converted to DVD for a few years due to the prohibitive cost, I'm so glad that I eventually found your service, so thanks once again and I will definitely recommend you to my friends." J.Porter, Leamington Spa |

Here on the left you can see a good example of a clean, but very dull Super 8mm film. On the right hand side you can see how effective my colour correction and level adjustments can be. The quality of telecine film that I get to work with on a daily basis varies massively. I've seen everything from under-exposed, scratched, blurred and wobbly footage which is virtually unwatchable, to benchmark material that wouldn't look out of place in a television documentary. Hopefully I'll be able to transform your film into a pristine DVD or Blu-ray copy that you'll enjoy watching for years to come. I promise I'll do my best to get your precious footage looking as vibrant and clean as possible. |

We can now offer you conversion of telecine film to high definition (720p, 1080i or 1080p). And seeing as 'cine film is not recorded using pixels with a limited resolution, this is good news for those of you who've treated yourself to a lovely big plasma or LCD screen. Once you have had your films transfered to a hi-def format, such as Sony's new Blu-ray, your viewing experience will be much more like the cinema (without the rude people talking and munching loudly) with clearer pictures that will stand up to being displayed on large screens and digital projectors. |
