digital transfers of 16mm film 

(also ask about vhs to dvd transfers!)

Professional 16mm* film-to-digital transfers are now available!

Using a modern 1-CCD Tobin TVT-16 telecine, which replaces the old Elmo TRV-16 last produced in the 1980s, extremely pleasing and accurate** transfers can be produced with ease and for a low price.

16mm-to-Digital File:
Film transfer: $0.12 per foot (15fps or 24fps, sound or silent, color or b&w). ProRes .mov format. 
$20 minimum per job

Smaller files can be sent back on DVD-Rs (as .mov files, not straight-play DVD video) at a cost of $2.00 per disc, or customer can supply jump drive/USB stick/external harddrive for file storage and delivery. Depending on size and number of files, online file transferring can also be arranged. 

16mm-to-DVD:

Film transfer: $0.10 per foot (15fps or 24fps, sound or silent, color or b&w)
$20 minimum per job

DVD authoring and configuration: $5.00 per disc used, 120 minutes per disc

DVD chapters: $1.00 per titled chapter

DVD case with printed sleeve insert: $5.00 each

Copies of final product with case: $5.00 each

Related services:

Splices, perforation repairs, etc.: $2.00 per repair made to film

Adding leaders and/or tails: $3.00 per leader (note: leader is blank film added to the beginning of a reel, end of a reel, or in between conjoined films to lessen the chance of footage being damaged).

Shipping:

Client must pay return shipping, which will be based on what client paid to ship film to me. For example, if client spends $10.00 in shipping the materials, client must pay an additional $10.00 for the return shipping of the films and completed product.

Notes:

The Tobin TVT-16 gives a realistic reproduction of your film in its current state. I am unable to tweak, fix, or eliminate any pre-existing color degradation, sound flaws, print damage, lines, or any other problems that your film may have (both originally, and/or due to age or mishandling through the years). 

**Some problems such as color fading may be corrected in Final Cut Pro, as well as some basic editing can be performed via the 16mm-to-Digital service at additional fees.

To initiate a film transfer, get in touch via the contact form on the right side of this page. I will try to help you if you're unsure of the type or amount of film you have.

*At present, we are unable to transfer standard 8mm, Super 8, 35mm or any other format of film.
