Cine Transfer to DVD/Mini DV Service

Here you can see some films that have been sent to us to transfer. Thank you to all our customers who have kindly allowed us to share these with you.

If, like me, you have been meaning to get round to converting your old super 8 cine films into a DVD before they rot in a cupboard, I can definitely encourage you to take the plunge and contact bluprint for a chat. I picked them from a range of companies on the web with no real idea of what was involved or how to judge the competence of any particular service. It was absolutely the right choice. I chose to deliver the reels personally, and I spent an hour or so with John from bluprint sorting them out, and I was well briefed on what would happen next.

I had chosen their 'edit manager' service and soon afterwards the whole lot came back to me transferred onto one DVD with a visual timer on the picture, ready for my job of watching the DVD and writing down the sections of unwanted footage, all done while sitting in an armchair in front of the telly. I had clear guidance and always a phone call away from sorting out any query. (None of the old sticky tabs and guillotine!) I returned all my notes to John together with instructions as to the final order of play and the captions I wanted.

Throughout the final process the personal touch was evident. John phoned several times to make absolutely certain of some small detail. Less than a couple of weeks later, back came the finished edited product complete with captions and varied, relaxing music. My DVD covers the childhood of my son and daughter and they were both thrilled with the results. A great surprise gift..
Diana from South Woodford

'I just wanted to thank you for sending my cine transfers back so quickly! It took me back 30 odd years when I watched them, mum and dad are going to be so pleased that they can watch them now without having to get out the step ladder to set up the projector, pull out the big screen and re-arrange the living room so we can all see!
It was the height of technology back then and we were the first ones in the road to have one (we had a colour TV and a new car too!) Thank you so much you have restored my faith that when we ask someone to do something, they actually do it!'

Best wishes from Michelle Hicks

'I received my films back today - I have looked at the DVD and I am absolutely delighted.
Thank you very much indeed for your spectacular service. I have many more old 8mm films and will gradually work through them with you. Many thanks again and best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.'

Mr Paul Terry

'Thanks for the excellent service - the DVD was a Christmas present to my father who had not seen his cine films for many years since his projector gave up. I had left it late, but it arrived for Christmas as promised.
Thanks again'

Mr. C.H. (Derbyshire)

'Many thanks indeed. I am so pleased with the results that I just telephoned my friend with all the good news. The transfer of all those old films is simply superb'
Raymond Rourke

'I just wanted to thank you for the DVD's we received on Wednesday. I spent a lot of time phoning other companies before speaking to Susanne on the phone. She was very helpful in answering my questions without blinding me with science!
Thanks again, I will certainly be recommending your services.

Mrs C. Pritchard (Telford)

'I have just finished editing my granddad's cine films from the digital tape you produced for me and wanted to tell you how much the family loved it. It was my grandmother's 70th birthday and the DVD was a lovely surprise for her as she had not seen the films for over thirty years! Thanks again for a great job transferring our films'.
Mr Goulding (Greetings from Kent - The garden of England!)
