As soon as we get your films in our studio, we
take the following actions:
Step 1.
Cleaning the Films:
Whether you want to put your film on DVD, DVCAM or AVI, all films are cleaned and
lubricated. This is important because your film is saved from scratches that
come in effect as your film passes through the converter. The hair and dust that
come by during transfer process are cleaned using pressurized air blow. Your
films are examined for any splicing need. We need a smooth transfer of films
when passing through the converter. Each roll is passed separately through the
machine.
Step 2.
Processing:
The film is first of all digitized on a computer hard drive. Once
it is there, the editor restores the color and white balance anywhere in the
video. Please note some of the very dark images can not be restored as they were
originally shot in the dark. More brighter you make the picture more grainier it
will become. Once all the restorable film parts are processed, it is then burned
on to DVD.
Step3.
Mastering:
Once the signal is processed, it can be mastered on
a. Digital tape - MiniDV, DVCAM, DVCPro, Digibeta,
HDCAM or DVCPro-HD or on a Hard drive.
b. DVD, AVI, QT or Mpeg.
It is suggested to make a miniDV master from the external hard drive. External
hard drives often fails and is not a good medium for archiving purpose.
