Will my film last forever?
Memories last forever, but unfortunately, the film does not. We can transfer all of your precious moments from the past to live on for generations to come. You no longer have to deal with projectors that may not even work and, if not correctly taken care of, can easily damage your film. Plus, storing boxes of reels take up a lot of space.
As with our video tape transfer services, we offer stunning scans of your film. Our film transfer service in Minneapolis is just as fantastic. Our full-frame scanning ensures the best transfer possible. Our scanner is a sprocketless design which is very gentle on your film. We can scan standard silent 8mm, silent Super 8, Super 8 with magnetic sound, silent 16mm, and 16 mm with optical sound. We can do both standard definition DVD or full HD Blu-Ray. Each frame is individually scanned then compiled to a movie. The results are truly stunning!
We never do a projector to a box transfer or even the worse the camera pointed to a wall method. You will not have you wait 4 to 8 weeks for completion, either. That time frame is ridiculous. In most cases, depending on the amount of tapes, the time frame is a few days. Always included with film transfers is removal of blank footage, fully mastered disc, printed disc, and a full sizes case with cover. We even go above and beyond with fade-ins and fade-outs at the beginning and end of the video, color correction, grain reduction, and sharpening. We treat your memories as if they were our own. That's the bottom line.
What is a better time than now to get your film transferred? Not only can you watch on your TV, but you can share them with family and friends online.
