In the 1980’s my father took all of our old family films and sent them off to be converted to video tape. The place he sent them spliced the films together and put them on five 7″ reels. These reels were so large that they would not fit on our old projector. To make it worse, even though they were standard 8mm films, the reels were Super 8mm which meant the hubs were larger and our projector could not handle them. They used a method of conversion called telecine. Which basically was displaying the film from a projector onto a screen and using a video camera and recording it onto a video tape. The video was fuzzy and had a flicker when watching it and the film speed was changed in an attempt to minimize the flicker. But since the old films could no longer be projected using our projector, the lousy video tape was the only way we could watch our old films.
The method I use is a frame-by-frame scan of the original film which means I take a picture of each frame resulting in around 4,000 pictures for a 4 minute film.. The frames are then combined into a single video at the original film speed of either 16 or 18 frames per second. If you want multiple films combined into a single video, it is done a computer and your original films are returned the same as they were sent. If you have large reels from them being spliced together previously, that’s fine. They will be scanned the same way and any bad splices will be repaired.
Did you know that your projector was clipping the right and left of every frame? My process allows the full frame image originally taken by your camera to be included in the video. You get 15% more picture on every frame.
The original camera speed for regular 8mm is 16 frames per second and for super 8mm is 18 frames per second. The video returned will be at 30 frames per second without affecting the speed of motion. This is accomplished on a computer using Motion Interpolation. It creates intermediate frames by analyzing the previous frame and the next frame and creating new frames based on what has changed between the two frames. This gives you a smoother video and also minimizes visual frame defects such as spots or noise.
In other words, you get a better video than your original film.
