CINEFILM

 
 
Cine transfer to DVD or any tape format from Vhs to Digibeta, including .avi, MPEG2 and QuickTime.
We use a dedicated telecine for each film format to avoid any inaccuracy in digitizing.  The development is still perfect and with constant high image stability.  The scanning is done frame by frame, 3 CCD sensor integrated in real time and in full DVD resolution. 

Our ELMO Telecine digital projectors (the world leader in presentation equipment) provide you with a superior film-to-video transfer job. The digital projectors are equipped with a 410,000 pixel colour CCD video camera, producing over 450 horizontal TV lines of high-resolution video images. Your film goes directly from the projector to our recording equipment enhancing the quality of the transfer.
 

Telecine Equipment:
What is telecine? It means transforming photographic movie (cine as in cinema) film into something electronic that you can watch on your television set. Since movie projectors and TV sets run at different rates, it has to be done properly to not introduce flicker and other artifacts into the picture.
 
Our machines are self contained. They combine a projector, optical system and quality video camera in one compact unit as in the Elmo TRVs, with improved resolution and a brighter picture. With exposure control, footage counter for argument-free billing, no tricky alignments by the user, frame by frame emulsion side scanning in real time.



How it's done:- 
Each frame is stopped and scanned by a triple CCD high definition, recording a 410,000 pixel colour picture lines, chipset and transferred to a computer as a digital file where it is checked and enhanced. 

The high definition film capture enables us to capture each frame at its optimum quality. We remove any blank sections from your home movies; add music and titles if desired and output to whichever format you require. Our cine transfer produces excellent results. There is no flicker or centre hotspot with our cine processing method.

If necessary colour correction and film grading is undertaken by our film technician during the enhancement stage. This is free of charge and ensures a quality restoration of colour balance over each full frame of your film.



Our Film to Video Transfer Process 
If you've got old cine films gathering dust at home why not get them put onto video or DVD right away. We can digitally remaster your movies frame by frame and then transfer them onto the format of your choice in a fully re-edited and polished program. 

We can also supply your footage on any tape or video file for you to edit at home on your PC or Mac.  Don't leave your memories in the attic, they are worth more than that and they were filmed to be seen after all!  

We can digitally enhance your films to make them clearer and brighter than you might expect!  All films are digitally scanned "Frame by Frame" for an exact digital copy of your original films. This digital footage is also colour corrected and adjusted to give a clearer brighter image than the original films.

We are simply the best cine transfer service available today. We have over 25 years experience (since 1984) and by our investment in top of the range high end digital equipment, top brand recording materials and the latest digital enhancement software, we are able to offer you the best possible image and sound on screen from your precious family films. 

Don't be tempted to entrust your films with some lower priced alternatives on offer from many photographers and Videographers in our high streets. As the quality of amateur results are often very disappointing and ultimately a waste of time and money. 

Memories are a very precious fragile thing, so we think it is fair to say that if you are going to have them put onto Video or DVD, you should get it done right!
