The transfer will be done digitally and will involve no analogue sources whatsoever. This means a sharper image.

Your film will be pre treated before transfer with a film preserver/cleaner which also serves to give the film extra sparkle. This film cleaner is a proprietary brand sold by Derann films services in Birmingham. It does not dry out film in actual fact stops the film from becoming brittle.

If you would like to view a sample of transferred film, please click on the link below. Please bear in mind that this sample is compressed and therefor quality is slightly less than the finished DVD would be. But is shows that there is no flicker etc and that you can can great result so long as they are transferred properly

I ask that films be sent to me by Recorded delivery

A few frequently asked questions are:

Do I get the original films back? Yes the films are returned along with the DVD. I cannot stress how important it is for you to hang onto your films, just in case. You never know, you may lose the DVD or it may get damaged. Best thing to do with them to preserve them is to keep them in a cool dark place. Where possible, I do treat the films with a preserver/cleaner. This serves to lubricate the film and stop the process of brittleness. It also makes the film look new again. Simply dusting the film will not get rid of the years of accumulated dust and dirt. There is a website called the8mmforum. You can view articles about the film preservers on there which are written by experts who know what they are talking about.

How do you capture the image? I use frame by frame scanning which is by far the best way to capture the images from the film. This means they are flicker free and crystal clear and completely digital. Other company's use the useless method of an old projector with a camcorder at the side of it filming the projected image from the screen. Then there are others which use telecine machines from the 1980's which to be honest, is the same as the projector and camcorder method. It is still a projector but has a small camera built in which films the image in the gate rather than from on the screen. The problem here is that the cameras are from the eighties and not as good quality as todays camcorders, so you could say that you may even get a better image with the camcorder and projector method if it were not for the flicker problem.

Do you use analogue capturing methods? No. As stated above, because I use frame by frame scanning, the whole process is digital every step of the way. The quality of the transfer will be exactly as the film is, with no deterioration.

Lots of other companies have “hidden costs” do you? No. There are no extra hidden costs at all. I do not charge extra for the Menu, Chapters (which have a moving thumbnail from the particular film reel) or the background music. I do not charge extra if your films have been wound on the reel the wrong way or not rewound at all. I do not charge extra if need to repair you film, for instance if a splice has come undone. And I definately do not charge you the earth for return postage 

Do you copy protect the completed DVD? No, unlike others I do not copy protect the finished DVD’s, as I do not think this is a fair action. At the end of the day, this is your material. Your Memories. Your loved ones. Your DVD to do with as you wish. Copy it a hundred times without loss of quality. If you cannot copy yourself then I can do it for you. Other companies will intentionally copyprotect your DVD for the only reason of getting extra money out of you and some companies will charge upto £15 for an additional copy after the event. 

Is this a bit of a sideline for you to earn a little extra cash? No, not at all. This is what I do full time. I got my very first cine camera at the age of 8 years. Cine has been my heart and sole since then. I am now 40 years old and have run this business since 1997, transferring peoples memories into an easier format for them to watch. When it comes to cine film I know whats what...and more importantly whats not! There are companies that will try to blind you with all manner of information in the hope that you will trust that they know what they are talking about. Unfortunately, usually they have not got a clue. They will use the reasoning that you do not have a clue either and sadly, a lot of the time they get away with it. Cine film in essence is quite straight forward and simple. So indeed is trust. I pride myself on the fact that I am trusted with peoples memories and do an excellent job in getting those memories alive again. It may sound a little corny, but the biggest thrill I get is when I receive feedback on eBay or through my website/e-mail  saying how happy I have made someone, most of the time bringing them to tears of happiness.

PLEASE REMEMBER

ONLY YOUR PERSONAL HOME MOVIES (Movies shot by yourself with your own camera) CAN BE TRANSFERRED. COMMERCIAL OR COPYRIGHT MATERIALS CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE TRANSFERRED

IMPORTANT: POSTAL STRIKE

During the postal strike, you will obviously be worried about sending your precious films to me through the royal mail postal service. Therefore I have added this note.

Personal drop off and collection of your films is allowed. If you use the Buy It Now you will be asked to pay the postage, but if you decide you wish to drop your films off then the postage will be refunded.

I have added Royal Mail Special Delivery to my postage options for return to you of your films. This service by Royal Mail is unaffected by the postal strikes, but can only be used on a day when there is not a postal strike so that they can guarantee next day delivery. You can also use this service to post your films to me.

Another courier you can use to send your films to me (recommended by eBay) is MyHermes. Their charge is as little as £3.60 for collection from your door and delivery, by using a special voucher code. Their website is www.myhermes.co.uk and the link to their voucher code is http://members.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=myhermes_parcel_delivery the voucher code is updated daily.

Lastly, I will always ensure to the best of my ability that your films are safe on a return journey to you. I will never return your films through ordinary post, unless you have paid for the first class recorded delivery option when using Buy It Now. Even then I will not post in the middle of a two day strike. I will wait a few days for things to settle. If you are worried in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.
