Much of your most valuable footage is probably on film. Unfortunately, when film isn't managed properly, it can start to deteriorate in as little as 15 years. And regardless of its age, film is becoming harder and harder to access.
But there is a way you can preserve that footage - and its financial or cultural value - indefinitely. By converting it to a compressed or uncompressed
digital format that will never deteriorate, you immediately turn your depreciating footage into a valuable digital asset.
Even if you think your film is too far gone - too old or damaged - we can probably still digitise it. And the results will be much better than you'd
hoped.
