Cintrex AV has special film gates for shrunken and warped 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm films, so that our film scans produce a solid, stable moving image during capture; giving the best possible look to your movies.
Films that look warped, but are still able to unwind off a film reel, will be jumpy during normal film scanning. We use our warped film gates for capture of these films.
We cannot use the warped film gates to transfer warped films that are very brittle, that fall apart when unwound off a film reel.
If you have warped films, and want to transfer them to a stable movie, it is worth the extra investment to capture these films with this special service. It adds significant value to the final product.
Pricing: $0.30 extra per film foot for warped film. If you have 500 feet of warped film, then enter the number 500 in the quantity box. We only charge for films that are warped.
