Traditional lo-end transfers are done with a by using a projector and projecting the image through a right angle prism or on a screen and then using a video camera to capture the image. When you project the image, you are loosing quality due to the blowing up of the image. The more you blow up the image, the more quality is lost

We offer beautiful results by not projecting the image

We transfer scanning directly from the actual film. The film is run through a projector and the film is lit from behind sort of like an X-Ray. Then a macro lens is sending the image to a CCD camera at a 1 to 1 ratio. This is a true style telecine. All basic transfers are made with space between the reels, without any editing or titling. All transfers are made to whatever recording medium listed above, optionally (& additionally) to DVD. Separate tape transfers or those requiring additional tapes each require separate charges. Reels to be transferred in sequence must be numbered by the client beforehand. Some contrast compensation can be done, but greatly over- or under-exposed footage will be left essentially as-is.
