Our 8mm Film Reel Conversion Process

Film Reel Inspection & Assessment

We carefully examine each film reel for condition, splices, damage, and footage length to determine the optimal digitization approach and any necessary repairs.

Equipment: Professional film inspection equipment with light tables and footage counters

Special Considerations: Older film may have vinegar syndrome, broken sprocket holes, brittle splices, or color fading that requires special handling before scanning.

Professional Film Preparation

Each reel is prepared for scanning with careful handling to ensure proper threading and tension for optimal capture quality.

Equipment: Film handling equipment with proper tension controls and reel mounting systems

Special Considerations: Different film stocks (Kodachrome, Ektachrome, acetate, polyester) require specific handling approaches to avoid damage during the scanning process.

High-Resolution Frame-by-Frame Scanning

Using professional film scanners, each frame is individually captured at 1080p resolution with proper color calibration and exposure settings to create smooth, high-quality digital video.

Equipment: Professional film scanners with precise frame registration and LED illumination

Special Considerations: Scanning is performed frame-by-frame at the original film frame rate (typically 16-18 fps) then converted for smooth playback. Silent film - no audio capture.

File Encoding & Delivery

Scanned footage is encoded to MP4 format with proper file naming and organization.

Equipment: Professional video encoding software and hardware

Special Considerations: Files are organized by reel with descriptive names, saved as 1080p MP4 files, and delivered on USB 3.0 drive(s). No audio track is included as 8mm film is silent format.
