Testimonial

July 4, 2005

In the course of 2005 I had all my 8mm films, mostly taken in the 1960's and 1970's, converted and burnt on to DVD's. I had first tried to do the job myself, using back-projection on to a translucent screen and filming the projected image with a digital cine camera on the other side but the results were less than brilliant (not enough light, flickering due to synchronisation problems etc) so I rapidly gave up the idea and looked for someone with the equipment and expertise to do the job. My choice fell on FilmFix.ch, almost by accident, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Frankly speaking, if I had not had my films converted I would probably never have looked at them again. The task of installing projector and screen, threading the film through the gate and onto the spools, and afterwards the rewinding and dismantling of the apparatus was sufficiently daunting to mean that it kept on being postponed. Not to mention the possible need for resplicing if my old splices failed to stand the test of time…

Now it is merely a question of popping the DVD's in the player and sitting back with the remote controller. Memories are priceless and there they are, on screen at the touch of a button. Thank you Laura and Natheniel. May the force continue to be with you!

Incidentally I did quite a lot of subsequent editing to improve and rearrange sequences (I started off with 6 hours of film) and to add material. To help me in this I used an item of software which I found on the Web and which I can also thoroughly recommend, namely Cinematize from http://www.miraizon.com. This software allowed me to strip out the video tracks and edit them and add sound tracks and titles, before reburning as a final step. Lots of work, but well worth the effort.

8mm Film Transfer Expert

Simplify - get your films in a "grab and go" format!  We transfer 8mm or Super 8 films onto a handy USB stick (or hard drive.)

Hello, I'm Nathaniel. My wife Laura and I are FilmFix — a two person team.

I am the technical expert with a degree in motion picture and photography, from Brooks Institute, Santa Barbara, CA.

First, your 8mm film will be inspected and carefully cleaned. Then, I'll convert it — from start to finish. These days, most all our customers request that digital files be delivered onto a hard drive or USB stick. However, we can put your transfer on a DVD or Blu-ray disc, if you really prefer that.

While staying local is nice, sometimes it's in your best interest to expand further and find the professional experts who specialize in this sort of transfer. Transferring 8mm film -- the right way -- is highly technical and it requires specialized, pricey equipment.

We're very glad you found us! Let us show you why we have a stellar reputation. Shall we get started on a reasonably-priced estimate?
