8mm and Super 8 film reel digital conversions and transfers.
Do you have old film reels that may be deteriorating? We scan 8mm film and Super 8 film to digital files and transfer them to USB or DVD. We can enhance the colour, and make brightness, contrast and sharpness adjustments.
Family and historical footage from the 50s, 60s and 70s, or even earlier, can be saved for generations to come. Maybe they hold images of your parents or grandparents, family holidays, children, or just footage of everyday life. So, imagine you and your family being able to watch the precious images again for many years to come on a TV or computer screen.

Please note: Magnetic sound on Super 8 film can, and will, deteriorate over time. As sound is captured separately, straight from a sound projector in realtime onto a computer, and added to the final scan in the editing process later, we can’t absolutely guarantee 100% synchronisation. This is a lengthy process and will be charged for separately.
We can, however, add a FREE background piano, guitar or other soft instrumental music track to 8mm and Super 8 film footage if requested.
If you are considering digitising your film please beware of conversions that are only run on old projectors. Old film should be handled with care and could be damaged. Our professional film scanners scan each individual frame, extracting the maximum detail, which results in flicker-free transfers. Our experienced film editor will work wonders with the detail on the converted files, and then transfer them to your choice of USB or DVD.
We are a New Zealand owned and operated business and all the work is done by us in our local video and film studio. We receive orders from throughout New Zealand. Alternatively, if you are in the Nelson area, just drop them off at our street address.
Turnaround time depends on our workload.
