FILM DIGITIZING

Starting at $0.45 per foot
(No charge for blank footage or film that cannot be transferred.)

Your 8mm and Super 8 reels are digitized in-house using dedicated film scanners no outsourcing, no frame blending, and no AI “hallucinations.”
Every reel is captured frame-by-frame to preserve color, detail, and exposure as accurately as possible.

  • Reel sizes commonly 3", 5", 7"

  • Typical family movies from the 1940s–1970s

  • Output: MP4 (1080p)

Super 8mm Film (Silent)

  • Introduced: 1965

  • Improved sharpness + smaller sprocket holes

  • Bright, vibrant family footage from the 1960s–1980s

  • Output: MP4 (1080p)

WHY DIGITIZING FILM IS SO IMPORTANT

Film breaks down differently than videotape and much faster.

Common aging issues include:

  • Vinegar syndrome (chemical decay)

  • Emulsion softening or cracking

  • Color shift toward red or magenta

  • Flicker from shrunken sprocket holes

  • Exposure flickering

  • Mold growth

  • Brittle film that can snap inside projectors

Because film projectors and repair parts are rare, digitizing now prevents permanent loss.
