Cine Film Colour Correction & Film Scanning
Depending on storage conditions and the type of film stock originally used, original colours may fade from the film. In many cases this can result in a 'pink' appearance to your films. 16mm film is more likely to fade due to the film stock available to film makers many years ago. Film companies never intended such material to be in use for such a long period but technology has improved with film stock today and this problem has now been corrected with modern film.
If your 16mm or 8mm films have 'turned' (the correct term) there are a number of processes which we can apply to the digital file to correct this problem when transferring to DVD. We use the latest software which can detect and replace lost colours making the final transfer much more acceptable. The process is not entirly automatic and relies on the skills of our experienced film technicians balancing the correct levels on our colour calibrated monitors.
Final results will depend on how badly your film has faded as some of the initial primary colour needs to remain for that colour to be enhanced. Even if a film looks completly pink when played there still may be some initial primary colour remaining for the correction.
There is no extra charge for this service.
