“A massive thank you to Dave for bringing back so many happy and joyful treasured memories back to our family. The old Cine films are full of lost loved ones and lovely memories of me and my brother as toddlers. Thank you Dave we all were absolutely thrilled to watch the films on my Dads 70th birthday.”

How I transfer your cine film

I carefully check your original film reels before transferring them to make sure they’re suitable for digitisation.

The film is then gently run through the digitising equipment, where each frame is captured and converted into a high-quality digital video.

I check the finished footage before supplying it on a USB stick, ready to watch, store and share with family and friends.

Your original films are handled with care throughout the process, helping to preserve those precious memories for years to come.
