From Nigel Robertson: Many of us have old family movies on 8mm and Super-8 going back as far as the 1930s when 8mm film was first introduced. Today, these films typically sit in a box, unwatched and slowly degrading and becoming brittle. Preserve these precious family videos now with our 8mm and Super-8 film restoration and transfer service!

We transfer your films Frame-by-Frame. with some considerable digital restoration afterward.

As An Added Novelty: Film Voice-Overs Inserted By Members Of Your Family!

Hence- you’ll have Grandma’s, Grandpa’s or your parent’s voice in the films for years to come! Most of us STILL have family members around luckily that knew who, what, when or where was in the films, instead of the kids thinking, “Mom, who is this and where is this?” Hence, we can ALSO do voice-overs of your films. It’s simple- we transfer the film for you. You take it home, sit down with a cup of coffee and write down some notes while watching the film of where this was taken, who that was, whose wedding it was, the garden tea party, etc. Then you place a phone call or text to Nigel, and a time is set up for you to come over, and while watching the video- you speak into a microphone which is recorded as the film plays. Hence you then have your own voice-over in your own film! What better a present to the kids and generations down the road!

Pricing Information

Typical Film Lengths And Prices

Reel Size	Length (minutes)	Length (ft)	Average Cost to Digital File	Average Cost to DVD
3″	3-4	50	$7.20	$7.20
5″	10-13	200	$31.20	$31.20
7″	25-30	400	$64.80	$64.80

These prices pertain to the full reel footage only. In the event a reel is not full (or the actual movie duration is considerably less), the price will be adjusted accordingly for the shorter film.

We charge on a “per-minute” basis. We find this makes pricing easier, especially when it comes to reels which are not full or damaged. On average, 15 feet of film is 1 minute, so our $3.00/minute pricing works out to $0.20/ft.

We do not transfer the audio track on Super-8 with audio. Most Super-8 is silent, but in the event your film does have an audio track, it will not be transferred.

We keep a copy of our client’s videos archived on our servers. This way, in case of an emergency or if the videos are lost in the mail, the client is simply able to request another copy.
