Transfer 8mm Film to Digital

Digmypics transfers film to the highest digital standards

  • Your film is cleaned and lubricated.
  • Your film is captured frame by frame using the same equipment as the Academy of Motion Pictures (MPAA).
  • Your film is then color corrected by our expert film editors.
  • We then apply grain reduction and perform simple edits to remove blank or damaged sections of film.

Cleaning and Lubrication

Your old film is likely dusty and covered in dirt and grime. Cheaper services often load your old film straight into the projector leading to a dirty capture.

Our technicians clean and lubricate your film using a specialized cleaning solution before it is transferred giving you a nice clean capture.

Frame by Frame Capture

Film scanning equipment is expensive, a method that some services use to avoid this is running your film through a projector and capturing the video using a digital camera. The film has be sped up in order to keep the video from flickering which leaves your home movies looking rushed.

Our high end scanning equipment captures each frame, edge to edge in high definition at the optimal frame rate.

Scene by Scene Color Correction

Many services use the one light method of color correcting our do NOT color correct your footage at all. The one light method picks a single correction that is generally acceptable across the entire length of the film.

Our film editors correct each scene making color correction adjustments for each scene individually while keeping consistency across the film.

Once your movie reels are digitized by our team of preservation artists they will be placed on either a flash drive, DVD, or be available for digital download. You will be able to choose how you wish to receive your video files at checkout. Your movies will be delivered as MP4 files making them easy to share and store.

We will consolidate and return your reels on new archival reels that are safer and easier to store along with all of your original reels and packaging. Film that is received on high quality archival reels will not be placed on new archival reels.

We do everything we can to keep you home movies in order. If you have dates or reel numbers written on your film we will transfer them in logical order.
