Most Super 8 and standard 8mm film collections consist of 3 sizes of reel, the little 3 inch spools with 50 feet then there are 5" reels that hold up to 200 feet and 7 inch reels holding up to 400 feet. Most films are silent but there are some sound films and we are able to transfer the sound and re-syc to the HD scanned images.

Plenty of vendors can copy them but few offer a restoration transfer, this fixes many issues such as projection scratching, colour shifts and colour fading often bettering the original film colour. We have the equipment and crucial skills to get the very best out of this film format.

Another batch of Video 8 tapes saved from the dreaded binder breakdown. Did you know that these tapes have now reached the end of their useful storage life.

So it’s imperative if you have any tapes in this format or in Hi8 or Digital 8 that you get them transferred soon.

This is old faded 1960’s print film on 16mm with optical soundtrack we scanned recently. It was a badly faded to red but we managed to pull some colour back in the grade.

The film looks at what technology might be like inthe year 2000.

This batch of films requires plenty of post production work including speed changes, and colour corrections. We think all the work before and after scanning makes a huge difference to the final quality.

Videotape to USB is probably the best way to save and preserve the recordings for the future. Most video tape is now well past it’s safe storage time and it’s imperative that any recordings are now copied onto a digital format.

Here are TVV we are very transparent about the gear we use to get the best possible transfer to preserve the recordings, and all at very reasonable prices.
