What makes our transfers better?

We take several steps to insure your transfers will give you hours of viewing pleasure by :

1. Clean, lubricate and splice as necessary
2. Utilizing  3-chip imaging and Ariel Lens Technology to insure optimum color and contrast
3. Extra-Wide gate to insure ALL your image gets in the transfer picture (see illustration below)
4. Digitizing directly into our specialized computer system.
5. Then we  edit your footage (taking out the unwatchable, add cross dissolves, add titles and music)
6. If you had chosen  restoration of your film, it is done at this time
