Your Cine Films are scanned using latest Telecine equipment on a Frame-by-Frame basis in High Definition. This results in sharpest picture quality as source.
After initial scan your digitised films go through a manual editing process where we remove blank parts, adjust colour, balance brightness/contrast/sharpness and gamma. Then the speed of the film is adjusted to play at natural speed (no more Charlie Chaplin effects!).
Finally your films are generated for DVD, Blu-ray, MPEG4 or any other desireable format for viewing & editing.
What Our Customers Say about our Cine Conversion Service
Mr. J. F. "I just had a first look at the Mini-DV tapes you made from my old Super-8 films, and I have to say that I am delighted with the quality of the transfer. Definition is just as good as the original film. Colours are bright and clear, and the colour balance is spot on. Chroma bandwidth is fine - almost no colour bleed to be seen. No added grain or noise in the picture (plenty of blobs and stuff from the age of the film, some of which goes back about 35 years, but that's not your problem). Screen illumination is entirely even all over - no darkening at the edges. All in all, you offer an excellent service, first rate value for money. I would happily recommend you to anyone wanting to get their old movies on to a more modern format."
