We're glad to now offer Spirit HD and 2K film scanning services for 16mm and 35mm film. Some of our clients include historical societies, documentary film makers, and families with old film. The Spirit is perfect for archival projects as well as modern film making — for anyone seeking uncompromised quality.
Spirit HD/2K Advantages
The Spirit produces tack-sharp HD/2K transfers that are as crisp and crystal-clear as the original. We capture the full dynamic range and color depth of film to ensure there is no film-to-digital degradation during the process.
The Spirit offers full primary color correction, allowing our skilled colorists to compensate for improper exposure, wrong filters, and faded dyes which are common characteristics of older and newer films alike.
