August 22, 2013 at 10:29 pmI think im going to go with PRO8MM!
I got a quote from them and from Got Memories, here is the difference
Got Memories (My 2180 Feet of reels) = $750 APROX. thats 720 P
Pro 8MM (2180 Feet of reel) = $1,500 and thats 1080 PSeems pretty reasonable for Pro 8MM especially considering you can choose it to be in any format you want and its like you said scanned with a 4K scanner!
it would of been $2,800 to get it done with color correction, exposure, and so forth but in the end I decided I can just get the basic and i can edit it all myself, im expierenced in color correction and making movies look hollywood like through many years of editing, only thing they told me was that if you dont pay extra for them to remaster it the exposure will not be as good… Do you think it wouldnt be too much of a problem?
The woman who works for Pro8 definetly sold me on the idea of getting these old film reels transferred in the best quality you can get them in, I want to relive those times!
Thanks so much for your help!
