8mm HD Film Transfer Comparison

Posted in Blog by gotmemories



Video below uploaded by customer, competitor in comparison.

Got Memories is now offering High Definition film transfers from Regular 8mm & Super 8 movie film to 720p HD Motion JPEG files and Blu Ray.
A lot of people wonder, is it worth it, my film is 60 years old, how good can it be? The answer is, potentially amazing! Of course, it's not going to have the amazing clarity of picture quality as we know it today, but the detail, the grain, the richness of the picture is there and it's detail that's not even been seen with the naked eye until now.
I personally LOVE the look of the grain and richness of the picture, some people think it's harsh and prefer standard definition film transfers because it does produce, sometimes, a smoother look, because the cameras are not picking up the detail of the film.

Above are videos. The first one is Phil explaining the clips. Second is a transfer done by homemoviedepot.com. Now let me be clear, we are not negative name bashers, this is fact, the user ID is under a guy named Larry Tocci, who you can contact and verify, but his story was one of many that we hear....paying good money for poor quality transfers. His original films looked great on the projector, but the sharpness, detail, colors on the transfer were terrible and to add, there were scratches & dirt showing up that weren't showing on the projection. This is due to the light source and capture method used. The third video is a redo by us to 720p HD, cleaned up and looking great. Now just to note, even the HD transfer on YouTube is compressed heavily, so this is not a fair representation of what the original file was. The main thing we notice in our tests is when you blow the picture up on todays larger LCD TV's the HD transfer has a considerable difference to SD when the picture is stretched. The detail and sharpness of the picture remains on even 65" LCD's. It's amazing when you think the original image is half that of your pinky nail!

Film Footage Calculator

Q: The film image is very dark, red-orange with hardly any other color, and
streaky. What happened?
A:The camera was threaded incorrectly, with the dark side and not the
light side towards the lens.

Q: The film is all biased orange/red and excessively warm. Why?
A: Either daylight balance film was used under movie lights without a
filter, or else the correct tungsten balance film was used indoors but
with the daylight correction (#85, or type A) filter wrongly in place.*

Q:The film is all biased purple/blue and excessively cold. Why?
A:Either tungsten balance film was used outdoors without the daylight
correction (No. 85 or type A) filter, or else the correct daylight
balance film was used outdoors but with the tungsten correction (type
80B) filter wrongly in place.*


*Color movie film used to be made in two types: Daylight and Type A.
Daylight gave fine color when exposed with sunlight outdoors. Type A
gave fine color when exposed with short-lived (3 hour) photo flood lights
indoors. Type A also gave fine color when exposed with sunlight outdoors
through a Type A (No. 85) daylight conversion filter. Any other
combination gave bad color. Additionally the film would come out
greenish under fluorescent lights or mercury streetlights, pure yellow
under sodium streetlights, bluish on a cloudy day or in the shade, and
yellowish if filming with ordinary household light bulbs.

Projecting off-color film directly might not look so bad, compared to a
video transfer. This is because: 1. Movies are projected in the dark so
your eyes will adapt to it somewhat, while video is viewed with the room
lights on so your eyes will not adapt. 2. Movie screens are generally
not as bright as a TV set and your eyes are then not as sensitive to
color problems. 3. Video does not have the latitude that your eye and
color film have, so if the color is too far off it will saturate the
color signal and gradations in color will disappear. You can best judge
a films color over a white light box to give you a reference white,
not using a projector.

Got Memories Reviews

Posted in Blog by gotmemories
Reviews on websites have always been suspect. At Got Memories, our reviews are real, some
customers have taken a lot of effort in educating the public about film transfers, and usually because they
have gone through a lot of grief elsewhere and have become raving fans of Got Memories.
That's our goal, not a satisfied customer, but to create RAVING FANS!!

Below are shocking pictures & video of how companies are converting film. You'll see on every website, self congratulating write ups about how amazing their product is, different levels of quality, descriptions about the marvels of their technology, but in the end, it's all complete lies. Setups are like this across the industry. To weed out them out, ask these two simple questions:
1. Can you provide me with a video of your equipment and how you convert film?
2. Can I come to your place of business and view your equipment and process?
If businesses are unwilling to fulfill these two SIMPLE requests, they are converting film like below. No excuses, do not converse any longer, just hang up! At Got Memories, we show you exactly how we convert film, the ONLY company that shows you how it's done.
Some of the best known companies that Costco & Wal Mart uses project film onto a wall!
