How should the film be prepped?
For 16mm and 35mm we prefer if the film arrived on cores, 1200ft with 6ft of leader on head and tail.
For S8mm and 8mm we prefer 400ft reels with 6ft of leader on head and tail.
How are my files delivered?
A formatted 1TB drive will be sufficient for most projects. If you send a drive, please include a gift receipt with your name or a tracking number so we know who the drive belongs to. You also have the option for FTP delivery or to purchase a drive from us. View our Film Running Time / Data Rate PDF to help calculate how much storage you will need.
How do I relay details about my scanning project?
You must fill out our online order form to relay details about your project.
Omitting this step will delay turnaround of your order.
