Author Topic: 35mm transfer to DVD - UK Steve R Pike Film Handler Posts: 66 From: Gloucestershire, UK Registered: Apr 2011 posted 06-15-2012 03:21 PM                     Hello, Not sure if I'm posting in the correct place here. I have a reel of old 35mm policy trailers, ads, trailers, snippets etc that I have kept and preserved over the years. Now that we are digital for all aspects (ads and trails as well now), I would really like to convert this reel to a PC format or DVD. Does anyone know of any firms in the UK that can do this? I'm based in Gloucestershire so maybe someone in Birmingham/Midlands area?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-15-2012 03:31 PM                        Get a referral from Bell Theatre Services, Hertfordshire, London. They will know where to send you. Louis  |  IP: Logged Ben Wales Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Southampton.

They have a Full Tellycine Suite and can do that type of work at a reasonable price. Sorry I do not have a direct contact for this person now, but have used them some years ago.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 06-15-2012 05:28 PM                     Hopefully when it is complete, you can share it too! I love policy trailers!

That having been said, they will charge professional prices, and most post houses will require you to prove that you own the copyright, or have the copyright owner's permission, to have the copying done. There are lots of "transfer your home movies to video" type places that will charge a lot less than professional prices, and one or two that aim for the experimental and semi-professional market (e.g. The Widescreen Centre and Stanley Productions), but as far as I'm aware they'll only do 8, S8, occasionally 9.5 and 16 (most of these places use Elmo type devices, with the higher end ones using Flashscans). I'm not aware of any that'll do 35; sorry.  |  IP: Logged Peter Brown Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Ceredigion, Wales, UK Registered: Jul 2005 posted 06-21-2012 03:37 PM                     You could try Digital Copycat in Reading. I used them for some 70-year-old 16mm family films and they did a fantastic job. I'm pretty sure they do 35mm as well, though it's no longer listed on their site. Good luck!  |  IP: Logged
