Hi there, and welcome to FrameByFrame. My name is Domenic and I live in the Sydney suburb of Croydon Park with my beautiful wife and 3 lovely daughters. After working for over 25 years in the Broadcast and Audio/Visual industries, I saw fast changes in technology and media platforms which have enabled us to watch movies and tv shows all with a few presses of our smart devices.

We take a photo or video today, its uploaded immediately to a cloud, phone memory or external drive. 

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about our own long lost personal moments... our recorded family history going back over 30 years.

​

At a time of analog recordings, Super 8 reels and VHS cassettes have recorded many moments in our lives but most of it has been forgotten. Locked up in an attic somewhere, in shoe boxes, are all those film reels, video cassettes, slides... etc. 

We owe it to our past and future generations to keep these memories alive. When it comes to archiving our heritage's history - it has to be done right.

​

Unlike other competing services that use obsolete, blended frame projectors, I transfer your film frame by frame using Moviestuff scanners, the very same devices used by The Academy of Motion Picture Film Archives in Hollywood as well as the Hugh Heffner Archives at the University of Southern California.

​

Each roll of your film is handled with utmost care. First they are cleaned by hand meticulously to remove dust particles, fibres and to stop any further deterioration of the emulsion. Next step, the film frames are scanned individually on a patented Universal 4K scanner, with no sprockets or claws to damage your film. And by sequentially scanning each frame of film on a separate digital file, there is no frame blending which results in a faithful reproduction of your film. 

These files are then uploaded to an editor for rendering, thus  performing duties such as colour correction, video noise reduction and further digital grain and scratch removal using the patented NeatVideo process. Camera movement on the film is also minimised by our software.

​

Finally, if required, we can edit the film in collaboration with you the client, so that you have control of the finished product.

​

I look forward to meeting you!

​

Thank you.
