Film transfer: We don't just set up your reels and then walk away. Our process involves a well trained technician controlling the contrast, lightness, sharpness, and to some degree the color of the images being digitized. The process requires someone with a keen, experienced eye to effectively correct all these variables.
Film Cleaning The years have proved to us that all films need to be cleaned! We use professional film cleaners to carefully hand-clean your film. This process consists of feeding the film through special soft cloths moistened by the cleaning solutions. The film gets cleaned once - more if needed. The cleaning process traps most dust and unwanted dirt particles.
We recommend special treatment with a solution called “Film Renew” if the film has mold build-up or if it has become brittle. "FilmRenew" is rarely needed.
“Film Renew” We use professional “Film Renew - Urbanski Film” to clean the film if it has mold buildup or has become overly brittle. Depending upon the condition of the film, we either soak the film in a bath of FilmRenew or carefully treat it with cloths soaked by FilmRenew solution. The excess solution is later removed.

Film Cleaning & Film Renewal includes bad splice renewals -- up to 3 splices per reel
Splice Renewal Renewing splices is very time-consuming and must be done with great care. We use professional film cement glue to complete the splice. A splice renewal happens when we find a broken splice, a missing leader, or a splice which needs replacing.
A reel is considered overfilled when the film is close to reaching the reel’s edge. There must be at least 2 mm of empty space before a reel’s edge. If an “overfill” is the case, the film must go through 3 additional time consuming steps in order to allow for a proper transfer.
DVDs and Blu-ray Discs allow for making short personalized menu titles (30 characters maximum per title). These menu titles allow for jumping to a specific section on the disc depending upon what you would like to view at any given time. We usually give each reel of film transferred its own separate menu title (unless you chose the option of "splice together", in which case please make up one menu title per 8 small reels of film. The typical title for the combined reels often includes just a span of years; i.e. “1988 - 1991”.)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
We need your menu titles in writing, please. If you would like text menu titles, please type them up and send them to us by email. We do not want to make a mistake by trying to type them up ourselves!
If you don't supply specific text for a menu title, that's OK; you'll still get a photo-menu title.
