Ascent video specializes in digital transfers of 8mm & Super 8 home movie film; bringing new life to family histories. Every transfer is given the "white glove" treatment. Media is stored in a dust free environment. Cleaning and repairs are made using the safest materials available. Computer analysis determines noise and damage levels with automated correction removing as many errors as possible, then each transfer is manually scanned by a trained technician for final correction. This is important because color film stocks utilized from the 1950's through the 1970's were unstable over time causing the color to be washed out or becoming predominately red or blue.
Methods of transfer done by amateurs and many other "professionals" use mirror box methods that result in dark, flickering films, keystone images, and unrealistic speeds. Ascent Video utilizes a high definition full 1080p digital re-mastering process called Telecine, making use of the same type of equipment that Hollywood uses for transfers. Plus, Ascent Video uses patented color and lighting solutions giving your home movies the real "star" treatment.
Your final transfer can be on Blu-ray disc or DVD, digital or any Cloud-ready media.
