8mm & Super 8
The most common home movie formats, 8mm and Super 8 were widely used throughout the mid-20th century to capture family memories. We carefully restore and digitise these films using frame-by-frame scanning and colour correction to ensure your footage looks its best on modern screens. Whether you’re preserving a single reel or an entire archive, we handle your memories with care. HD USB
9.5mm & 16mm
Often used for more professional or archival recordings, 9.5mm and 16mm film formats require specialised handling — especially when aged or brittle. We provide thorough inspection, repair, and cleaning services before scanning your footage using FlashScan technology. The result: crisp, vibrant digital files that do justice to the original film, ready for sharing with family and clients alike. HD USB
🔧 Our Process
Step 1: Film Inspection & Repair
Our process begins with a careful examination of your films on a film rewind bench. This allows us to repair any undone splices and remove unwanted sections, such as completely black or clear frames. This results in a seamless transfer with no picture ‘judder’ or blank screens interrupting your viewing experience.
Step 2: Cleaning & Restoration
Films are cleaned using a specialist liquid to remove dust, static, sticky joins, and surface scratches. Brittle film (especially 9.5mm) may require a 24-hour conditioning soak to prevent breakage.
Step 3: Digital Transfer & Enhancement
Using FlashScan equipment, we digitise your footage in high quality with brightness, contrast, and colour corrections applied as needed.
Step 4: Delivery & Backup
Your restored films are returned on DVD, USB, or via Google Cloud. We keep a backup copy for 1 month in case of loss or damage. We can transfer full access to your files after this period; if not, they will be removed. If your films arrive wound backwards or on broken reels, we will ensure they are correctly rewound and placed on fixed reels.
FILM CHECK RESTORATION
Our process begins with a careful examination of your films on a film rewind bench. This allows us to repair any undone splices and remove unwanted sections, such as completely black or clear frames. The result? A seamless transfer with no picture ‘judder’ or blank screens interrupting your viewing experience.
If your films arrive wound backwards on the reel, we’ll ensure they’re correctly rewound in the transfer. Plus, if needed, we’ll splice new film leaders onto the front—at no extra cost.**
