Sharing with friends and familyWe digitise cine film using advanced technology - a high-end sprocketless scanner that captures each frame individually at high resolution, combining them into a digital video.
Since most cine films are silent, we add backing music to bring your memories to life. If your film has an optical or magnetic soundtrack, we'll preserve this during the transfer.
One of the benefits of cine film is its remarkable durability. While poor storage can lead to issues like mould (which is usually visible on inspection), the vast majority of cine films have stood the test of time exceptionally well. When digitised, these films typically produce stunning results that capture the unique beauty of the original footage.
8mm cine film is a very old video format. That's great, because it holds amazing moments from the past. That's worrying, because it's deteriorating and could be lost.

Thanks to the incredible frame-by-frame scanning technology available, converting cine 8 to digital produces incredibly clear results.
Our highly-trained technicians use the best, professional-grade equipment to carefully capture and preserve your 8mm film footage and treat your memories as if they were their own.
Even though 8mm film isn't commonly used as a recording medium anymore, the memories it holds deserve to be preserved and enjoyed for many years to come.
