During the film scanning process, basic RGB color corrections are performed to color correct each film. At FilmMaker8 we understand filmmakers are using non-linear editing systems to master their film projects and that many of these systems (Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid, etc.) have color correction capabilities built into the software. Additional color corrections beyond the baseline corrections during capture are left up to the customer. Color correction beyond the baseline corrections can be requested on a one-off basis for an additional fee. Please contact us for more details.
Please understand, the FilmMaker8 telecine service does not use multimillion-dollar telecine equipment but rather a lower cost HD telecine unit capable of capturing your films in stunning SD or HD clarity. Sure, a Rank or similar telecine system could produce better results but you’ll definitely pay a larger price per foot for the transfer. At FilmMaker8 we’re focused on providing excellent SD & HD telecine captures at a reasonable price! Many student/amateur filmmakers are discouraged by the high costs of transferring their films. At FIlmMaker8 we aim to break this cycle of relying on the expensive “Big Guys” to provide telecine services by offering an excellent alternative to HD film captures for a ridiculously low price. Filmmakers should be out shooting film, not worrying about how they’re going to pay large telecine bills for computer acquisition of their film projects. Our telecine service for Super 8 or Regular 8mm silent film is only $.30 per ft. Your films will come back to you in HD clarity ready to import into your favorite NLE system!  

If you’re still not convinced, check out our HD telecine sample reel below.

HD Telecine Services:
FilmMaker 8 offers low cost high-definition Super 8mm or Standard 8mm film transfers. Our telecine process uses a custom built high-definition telecine unit with a Red, Green, Blue (RGB) LED light source. Every Super 8 or Standard 8mm frame of your reversal footage (no negative film stock) is individually captured (no sound films) into our HD telecine workstation using a high-definition video camera. The HD telecine camera has a CMOS sensor with nearly 3 million pixels allowing captures of your films in HD at (1920 x 1080p).
Final telecine captures are available to customers for immediate download via our internet connected high-speed Storage Area Network (SAN). We also offer output to Blu-ray, customer provided hard drive, or other media of choice. For customers requiring SD material, all captures are first done in HD and then down converted from the original HD source to SD. This process provides the highest possible scan quality and clarity for SD material. Other output options are available on request at no additional charge.
