Q. How do you transfer the film to digital

A. I use a sprocketless transfer system that grabs the film by the edges. Each frame is scanned digitally from a 4K UHD resolution camera and then converted to a .MOV file for editing on Final Cut Pro or a sequential image file(TIFF) for Da Vinci Resolve. 

​

Q. What if my film is very old and damaged?

A. I always give my clients an honest opinion before I commence work to advise  if a transfer is recommended. If the film reel arrives broken, I professionally splice it to minimise loss of any material. The films are physically cleaned from mould using a 'wet gate' using the patented FILMGARD process to remove dirt and grime, but also to repair film scratches that are present.

​

Q. I don't know what is on the film. Can I view it first?

A. Yes. I invite customers to provide a sample reel of their choice, and I can transfer the film free of charge to show the quality of the digitisation.*

​

Q. What film formats do you do?
