CONVERSION & DUPLICATION PRICES


Our Processes

Preparation:

All film, slides, and negatives is carefully inspected & hand-cleaned before conversion. (We do NOT repair broken or breaking film) We will immediately contact clients if any broken or breaking film is detected.

NB: Any mould we may find on media can also be cleaned, but additional charges apply. It is important to note that this extra charge is done for our scan technicians' health & safety. We cannot convert mouldy film without cleaning it first. Any damage the mould may have caused to the film is irreversible. However, in most cases the mould forms on the edges of the frame leaving the centre of the picture still viewable.

Digitising Process:

Our standard offering is frame-by-frame scanning of Regular 8mm or Super 8 silent films, Photo Slides, 35mm Photo Film/Negatives and Vintage Prints. Delivered as archive quality movie files in Full High Definition 1080p resolution (minimum), OR Full High Definition JPG image files.

Terms & Conditions

Deposit

    • We ask for a 50% part payment (deposit) of the quoted total job price before work commences. 

Job Turnarounds 

    • To keep things as fair as possible,  for regular timeframe projects your job will go into our queue of work and will be attended to in turn according to job numbers. There will be NO provisions made to clients for queue jumping urgent work. We're always very busy, dealing with very old, obsolete media. Usually in a wide range of physical conditions. With widely differing play durations. Which must be played through in a little slower than real time (we know of no high-speed film digitizing system).  Predicting timeframes is not an exact science. It's simply not possible to precisely allow for unforeseen issues that may occur in your job. Or in the jobs preceding yours in the queue.
  •  
    • We do aim at estimated turnaround targets. However, we ask for your patience with us on this. To do the best possible job, and to do it at a reasonable price, means it can't also be done quickly. We can choose only two of the above three, and we're certainly NOT WILLING to cut corners on quality. If you have a looming deadline or event, please let us know, and we can discuss some POSSIBLE options with you.

Digital Storage Devices 

    • We provide high quality high definition USB sticks for additional cost.  We will NOT accept or use ANY USB or other storage devices provided by clients.  Simply because we do not know the quality of such storage devices, therefore, we can not gurantee their lifespan.

Final Payments 

    • Original and converted media is returned upon full payment. Unless prior arrangements have been made, we ask for final payments to be made within 7 days of invoicing.
  •  
    • We like to be as flexible as possible. We’re happy to work with you before commencement of the job to come to a mutually acceptable arrangement. But we do ask that if we have not made alternate arrangements with you before commencement, that you will honour our terms.
