WATCH OUT FOR POOR IMITATORS!
There's a major difference in the quality
of film transfers. Poor imitators project the film using a projector or
telecine onto a wall, mirror, screen, or directly to a video camera and
then film it with just a standard camcorder.
Transferring it this way is very poor in
quality. Your special memories deserve better. Their methods will lowers
the quality of your finished product, resulting in poor color, poor contrast
and poor detail. It also introduces unnecessary flicker.
Many unscrupulous film transfer houses are
claiming they are scanning or transferring frame by frame when in fact
they are just using a telecine projector to project and refilm it.
