Smalfilm From New York

The kind of careful conversion of 8mm film to DVD New York expects.

What we transfer - we transfer all standard 8mm, Super 8 silent, and Super 8 sound film, as well as all 16mm film, silent and sound. Our film transfer service takes longer than typical transfers. The slower, frame-by-frame nature of our transfer produces very sharp grain and strong colors, but requires that we transfer sound separately, which is an extra cost.

How we transfer - all materials are made digital right here in our high-end studio in Wormerveer . Each reel is cleaned with a liquid solution, and then checked for damaged sprockets before transfer, which are repaired when possible. We splice together smaller reels on to bigger ones, in any sequence you have indicated. When transferring film to DVD, we separate the individual reels as chapters on the DVD, or as separate files if you order files rather than DVD videos. Every order is kept completely separate, and is processed from start to finish at an individual workstation with one technician. Our film transfer service is priced around the amount of footage, and the table below will help determine the size of your order:

Reel Diameter 8mm / 16mm Footage 8mm / 16mm Run Time 3" 50 Feet 3-5 / 1-3 Minutes 4" 100 Feet 6-10 / 3-5 Minutes 5" 200 Feet 12-20 / 6-10 Minutes 6" 300 Feet 18-30 / 12-20 Minutes 7" 400 Feet 24-60 / 18-30 Minutes

Our frame-by-frame film transfer process is recorded directly from the lens of the transfer device.The Flashscan-8 from mwa There is no film screen involved at any point. This produces sharp, bright images when capturing, which are then reassembled by our computers into a DV format video file.

After the film is made digital, our technician will then process the file at the correct framerate, giving the video a natural, human speed rather than the speedy look of old films people are used to with other film transfer services. The film is then digitally edited together with enhancements applied to correct any color or brightness/contrast imbalances and blank areas are removed and discounted.
