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.
