Cine Transfer Process

BENCHCHECK :

Our first step is to examine each film and where needed remake any film splices. Where possible we remove any totally black or clear sections of film to give you a better viewing experience.

FILM CLEANING :

Over time, static attracts dust, causing dirt and scratches to appear on the film image. Our liquid cleaning process eliminates the surface dust and also reduces the thickness of black or coloured scratches..

TRANSFER PROCESS :

For each transfer we make sure that your films are treated with care and respect.  Colour, contrast and brightness levels are adjusted to improve the digital quality of the cine film image during transfer.

We recommend that you keep your original films for future generations to discover and to consider for the next generation of storage technology. We also store an electronic copy of your films which we hold for six months.
For over 35 years we have transferred films to many formats.

What clients say about us!

We would like to thank all our customers who have kindly allowed us to share their comments.
We would like to say a big thank you for copying the 4 super 8mm films recently of some cricket from the 1980s and of our son 20 years ago to DVD and Quicktime files. We are especially grateful for the quick turnaround of the material. They were loaded up on to Facebook that evening for the cricket club to share and enjoy. We set them to music and they have made a lot of people very happy.

I think the quality of the transfers is remarkable for 8 mm film over 50 years old. It is down to three things, the Leica camera which was used (good lenses and a very precise gate) the exceptional quality of the light in some of the locations (Shetland and Iceland especially) and top class transfer by Bluprint.

I just wanted to thank you for sending my cine transfers back so quickly! It took me back 30 odd years when I watched them, mum and dad are going to be so pleased that they can watch them now without having to get out the step ladder to set up the projector, pull out the big screen and re-arrange the living room so we can all see! It was the height of technology back then and we were the first ones in the road to have one (we had a colour TV and a new car too!) Thank you so much you have restored my faith that when we ask someone to do something, they actually do it!

The three separate sets of 8mm films you digitized for me have been consistently excellent, much better than I could have hoped for from old films. We also loved the design of the DVDs and cases. I cannot recommend your services highly enough and you are more than welcome to use any of our films as you wish for your publicity.

We are delighted with the result and would recommend you to anyone for your professionalism and quality/speed of results. And as for whether to transfer or not: DO IT ... it's fantastic to be able to see this footage so conveniently, to be able to edit it and take stills from it, and to preserve it from future loss or deterioration.

This is a very quick email to thank you for all your hard work in putting our reels of Super 8 onto DVD - they're lovely and we're thrilled to bits with them. All being well, I will be in touch with you again when we're found any other reels. All best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Hi Susanne I thought the service was impeccable. Fast, informative and correct. John gave me brilliant email communication too. Even among all the Christmas chaos these files could not have been returned to me any quicker than they were. I would highly recommend your services again.
