it is more expensive due to the extensive time post-processing required. Editing, cropping, stabilizing, and upscaling the footage all require significant time and effort. Furthermore, to achieve high-quality results, our machine captures a single photo of each frame, which also adds to the overall processing time. Sadly we cannot do 8mm film with Audio, the process is so expensive and I do not have the money to invest in a 8MM Audio Telecine machine, I can transfer them without Audio, thats no problem, but not with Sound. |
To give you an idea of the quality we deliver,
here's a couple of examples of the transfer of 8mm film.
This 8MM film was taken around 1960 ,
on KODAK 8MM film, at a old Guildford Paint factory ,
it was located at the Guildford train station, UK.
Music track added after.

It is filmed in 1956, held at Albert Park Street Circuit
