Before we scan your cine film, we always give it a machine clean first. Partly to protect our scanners, but also to improve your picture, as cine film typically has a fair amount of dust and hairs floating on the emulsion. You will also see from this example that a build-up of debris on cine film can cause the film to skip and bump on the scan-head, making a slightly jumpy movie.
A machine clean solves this problem. This work is carried out as standard with all orders at Alive Studios.
