8 mm (Super8) film digitization in Tallinn

Main advantages of frame-by-frame 8 mm film digitization

• A sharper picture and rich colours
• No flicker or resonance waves (which appear when filming a projected image)

How do I work out the length of my film?

To give you an idea of the volume and time involved: a minimum order of 30 minutes is one full 18 cm reel.

How an order works

1. Checking the overall condition of the film

   Visual assessment of the film, perforations, curling, storage conditions and the amount of work.

2. Wet cleaning of the film

   Cleaning with lint-free wipes and velvet moistened with a special cleaning fluid.

3. Winding film that has no reels

   If your film is wound without a reel, we use our own reels for digitization (paid service).

4. Frame-by-frame capture settings

   We attach a temporary leader and set white balance, focus, exposure and shutter speed for your film.

5. Constant visual control of the capture

   Some people start the capture and walk away. We watch the capture the whole time: half an hour of film means one hour of capture and monitoring.

6. Rendering

   Output and calculation of your movie, depending on resolution, filters and corrections.

7. Writing to your medium

   The finished material is written to your drive or USB stick.
