Classic Elegance by Susan 8mm and Digital Transfers


Step 1: Cleaning and Prep. Before 8mm Transfer
Your film is cleaned, restored, and repaired if necessary. We usually find regular 8 and super 8mm home movie film to be in good condition. You will be contacted if the film is in poor condition and cannot be converted. Three inch film reels may be spliced on to larger reels with leader material left on to separate individual movies.

Step 2: Digitizing During 8mm Film Transfer
We use our own telecine equipment which passes the light image of the movie film directly into a professional video camera. No screen or frosted glass is used in the conversion (such as the consumer film to video box from the 1970's). The entire frame of film is visible during the conversion. The standard film gate of an 8mm or super 8mm film projector would cut out some of the image, but we capture out to the edge of the sprocket holes. Our cameras are professional 3CCD cameras from Sony . This setup is optimized for recording very small images such as 8mm film frames. We do not use the Elmo Transvideo telecine projector or Goko telecine projectors designed over 20 years ago, which are unfortunately still used by some in film to video transfer.
