SEEING CINE

Facing Off with Film




We love film…

After all, that’s what we do. And

with over 30 years in the business,

converting cine film to DVD and

digital files, we’ve learnt a thing or

two about the format. You may not

realise it, but there’s actually tons

of different types of cine film. Like…




35mm

If you’re a photography fan or

film aficionado, you’re sure to

have heard of 35mm, with its

distinctive 4 perforations per

frame. It was first produced by

Thomas Edison in 1892, on

Kodak stock. Originally, Edison

used it for his Kinectoscope – but

it swiftly became Hollywood

standard for all cameras.




9.5mm

Probably the rarest of all cine film

types, 9.5mm was seriously popular

throughout Europe at the turn of

the century. Pathe wanted to use it

to allow audiences to watch

commercial films at home. Their

plan might’ve worked too, if a

young pretender hadn’t arrived on

the scene.




16mm

In 1923 Kodak unveiled its

cheaper alternative to 35mm.

Created in order to give film

fans an affordable way to

create their own movies, it was

also adopted by television

production companies for years.

In fact, there’s been three

kinds of 16mm film over the

years…




Super 16mm was

developed in 1969 by

Rune Ericson, a

Swedish

cinematographer with

an expanded picture area

Cinematographer

Frank G. DeMarco

created Ultra

16mm while

shooting the 1996

hit indie film Pi.




8mm

When it comes to home movies,

8mm is king. Kodak released their

first 8mm cine film reel in 1932.

The picture quality isn’t as good

as either 16mm and 35mm, but it

did offer an affordable way to

capture all those special moments

in life. And it was so popular that

in 1965, Kodak brought out Super

8.




Here at Cine 2 DVD Transfers

home movies are, and how

moments again. That’s why,
