Home Movie Digitization

We transfer 8mm, 9.5mm, 16mm & 35mm film

Imagine sitting back and watching your memories from 50 or 60 years ago (when film movies were made), in crisp color with nice background music! At Full Story Video, we use a high-tech digital, frame by frame process to beautifully transfer your 8mm, super 8mm or 16mm reels onto your choice of Flash Drive, Hard Drive or DVD. We can even bring back a lot of those faded or distorted colors from years of storage.


We have transferred our own family home movies and know how emotional and nostalgic it can be. We treat each 8mm or 16mm film order as if they were our own home movies, and we are pretty picky.

transfers include

 

  • light instrumental background music at no extra charge
  • color correction (very extreme correction may involve an editing charge)
  • blank or white frames are removed
  • personalized DVD label with family name
  • you will receive your original film back
  • a beginning title with family name
  • For an additional charge we can add a detailed menu, and chapters, so you can easily jump to certain years in your movies.

 

film types

 

  • 8mm, regular & magnetic sound
  • Super 8, silent & magnetic sound
  • 9.5mm
  • 16mm, silent, optical & magnetic sound

Converting your home movie reels is easy….

  1. Gather all your reels and put them in the order you'd like (example: chronological), then number each reel on the outside. Use post it notes if you don't want to write on the reels.
  2. Most reels are marked with the footage amount (the small ones are usually 50 ft). Use the chart below to calculate the approximate amount of footage you have and how many DVDs you'll need. We can help you with this when we meet.
  3. Once you have your reels organized, bring us your boxes of reels and we will sit down together and discuss the project. You will meet one-on-one with Jerry, and he can help answer your questions and discuss options.
  4. Your movies will then be professionally converted to high resolution digital files. You can choose between DVDs, USB flash drive, or other output. And we can make as many copies of your movies as you’d like, to share with family and friends.
