Semi-pro

16mm

Our process

Handled with care at every frame.

01

Inspection & repair

When your films arrive we inspect them for damage and fix any problems with splicing and joining repairs.

02 · Optional

Ultrasonic cleaning

Films can be ultrasonically cleaned to lift dust, debris and signs of deterioration before scanning.

03

Scanning & enhancement

Each film is digitally scanned and processed, with enhancement applied for the best possible picture.

04 · Optional

Colour correction

Faded or colour-shifted film can be graded to bring back natural, true-to-life colour.

05

Printed DVD

Your footage is authored to a printed DVD, with a choice of menu themes.

06 · Optional

Digital files

Add a digital copy — AVI, MPEG-2 or QuickTime — for long-term preservation and easy sharing.
