Thompson Family Film

This Super 8mm film had been soaked with water during a flood. The film was hang dried and then brought to CinePost to be restored. We ran it through the Wetgate system and applied DaVinci color correction, even we were amazed by the results. Usually water destroys film, but if you’re able to unspool it and let it dry it can be salvaged.

CinePost Super 8 Telecine Transfer with Wetgate: “Rush”

A day in the life of a Frat Cinematographer. This film was shown over 50 times in a bad projector. This is a split screen transfer done at CinePost. It is showing the same footage with and without our wetgate technology. You can easily see how well the process works at removing and concealing scratches and dust. If you want to conceal scratches in your transfers, CinePost can help you.

Symphony of Magic: The Wild Orchids of Israel

A Magical Film about the “Wild Orchids in Israel”. If you like TimeLapse or Flowers, this is probably the greatest Super 8mm nature film ever made. Totally self-funded and Ten Years in the making, the amazing beauty of the Wild Orchids of Israel has painstakingly been captured on stunning Kodachrome film by esteemed cinematographer Doron Hirshberg . The film was originally broadcast on the BBC in 1987. Not satisfied, Doron spent another three years shooting more footage to include more scenes about the actual pollination process. When finally ready to re-edit all the films in 2007, Doron flew from Israel to CinePost in Atlanta in order to produce a scratch and dirt-free Telecine Transfer for the new digital masters. Digital editing was completed in late 2007. Duna Televizio (Hungary) will be broadcasting the Restored Master this Winter. The Digital Masters are now ready for any venue with English narration and a stereo M&E track, in either PAL and/or NTSC. Total running time is 60 minutes. To book or rent this film, contact CinePost at info@posthouse.com.

Small Miracles: Rank Cintel Telecine

Super 8 Transfer on a Professional System

By Doron Hirshberg

My recent goal was to gather eighteen edited hours of my Super 8 wildlife films from the last 30 years and transfer them to broadcast quality video. I chose CinePost in Marietta, Georgia to transfer the footage using a wet gate video transfer on a Rank Cintel Turbo. Because of the nature of small gauge film, post production was required to remove scratches, stabilize the frame registration and color correct some of the footage. The end result was beautiful, rich imagery that shows how far you can go with Super 8 if you have good footage to begin with.
