It turns out that film is a pretty delicate medium, and most films that have been recorded might already be irreparably damaged. Film durability can be adversely affected by all sorts of factors. How many times have you watched those movies? Did you play them often through a projector? Did you ever pause on a single frame? What was the humidity like in their storage spot?
Did you keep them sealed, or were they subjected to dirt and grime? Did they get a bunch of undue sun exposure? The heat from the lamp can weaken the celluloid. For 8 mm film-to-video, we run the films at sixteen and two-thirds frames per second, so they don't strobe madly on the Australian twenty-five frames per second television system. These two rates are mathematically related, to show one-and-a-half film frames per television frame, with almost no noticeable flicker.
This is slightly different from the speed the film was shot at, usually eighteen frames per second, so the action may appear slightly slower. Our 16 mm projector runs at the normal twenty-four frames per second film speed, and this works fine without any objectionable strobing effects.
When we do film to video transfers , we charge based on the running time of the film. The following tables will allow you to estimate how much a job will cost. The longer spool length estimations are based around the average lengths of several small films joined together, minus a few little bits most people join together just the parts that they want, rather than the entire film, which often includes mistakes and blank sections.
All the measurements are approximate. We can handle individual films on the small 3 inch spools, up to the 7 inch size.
If you're going to splice several films onto a larger spool, do not fill the spool right up to the edge. Standard 8 was the first 8 mm width movie film, it was brought out before Super 8 even existed. Double 8 film starts off as 16 mm width film that you ran through the camera exposing half the width of the film, then flipped over and ran through the camera again, and exposing the other half of the film.
The developing lab split the exposed film down the middle, then joined the two halves, end-to-end, for you to project as a double-the-original-length 8 mm wide film. Thus, a 25 foot spool of 16 mm wide camera film became a 50 foot spool of 8 mm wide projection film.
Chances are that if you kept the film in the original box, what you think is a 25 foot film because of the box's labelling , is actually a 50 foot film, and will run for twice as long as you think. Recognizing the difference between Super-8 and Normal-8 The film's sprocket hole size determines the type of film.
Both Normal 8 and Super 8 film is 8mm wide. Normal 8 aka Double 8 This image above shows the difference between two different types of 16mm film perforation holes. Shown from left to right note that all perforation holes are the same size : 1 regular 16mm film - used in a 16mm camera 2 16mm wide "Double 8" film which was 25 feet long, when the unprocessed roll was purchased - used in an 8mm camera 3 8mm film "Normal 8" - split lengthwise During processing at the lab, the lab would split the 25 foot reel into 2 sections of 25 feet, then joined the two foot lenghts.
Which of these doesn't belong? Tape Transfer. Slide Transfer. Contact Us. How much film is on my 8mm reel? On the left is the common 50 foot reel of Regular 8mm film. The film lengths can often be determined by the visual indicators on each film reel -- see image. Common small reels approx. How to recognize if film is silent or has sound Only films that have magnetic band s have the capability of having sound recorded onto them.
Simply having a magnetic band on a film does not mean the film definitively has sound. It could still be silent if no sound was ever recorded onto it. Silent no bands. MP4 files at 18fps!
