Film Preparation for Shipping

Have you decided to transfer your Super 8, Standard 8, or 16mm films and are unsure how to prepare them?
Are they even rewound, is the leader missing, is the perforation damaged, or has the film folded or even torn (perhaps multiple times) because you attempted to view them briefly using a projector?

This film might have gone astray when threading the projector.

We frequently receive concerned calls or emails asking whether we can still digitize such films.

Yes, we can. 🙂 Even films where the perforation no longer looks neat (as seen in the image below) can still be scanned, thanks to the extremely film-friendly capstan drive.

Defective Perforation
Defective perforation. The film no longer runs cleanly through the projector.

You can be completely at ease. No matter how your films look or what condition they are in, we will take care of them, clean them, and restore them to their original state so that we can scan them carefully and professionally.

Are you already excited about the results and the convenience of watching your old memories easily on your computer or directly on your TV?
