Standard 8mm film sales, processing and transfer packages

In 1932, Kodak introduced the 8mm (or Standard 8 or Regular 8 or Double 8) format. The Standard 8mm film was a 16mm film with twice the number of perforations. The idea behind it was to make film affordable to many more people. It was inserted one way and fed through the camera. Once one side had been used, it was turned around and fed through the other way. Once processed, the film was split through the centre and the two 8mm halves spliced together. Kodak acquired Pathé in the late twenties putting an end to any competition between the two formats and assuring the dominance of the 8mm format. 8mm film never allowed sound to be recorded through the camera. However, later in its life, a magnetic strip was able to be added after development that could be used to record a sound track. Film comes in 25ft lengths (7.62 metres). The Standard 8mm frame size is 4.8 mm x 3.5 mm. It is normally filmed at 18fps or on older model cameras at 15-16fps. High quality commercial footage was shot at 24fps. It could also be shot at many other frame rates.

DVD Infinity is now able to offer sales, processing and transfer packages. Your film is bought, processed and transferred through DVD Infinity in Australia. Processing is done manually to avoid scratching. Transfer is performed by DVD Infinity's world renowned scanning systems.

Tri-X

Kodak Tri-X, a black/white film, offers finer grain and increased sharpness. Reduced static support allows for a cleaner image throughout the filmmaking process. These films provide the rich blacks and high contrast. It is suitable for general interior photography with artificial light. It can also be used in daylight and is particularly useful for sports pictures taken at regular speed or slow motion in weak light (overcast sky or late in the day). This film is characterized by excellent tonal gradation and sharpness. Ensure that camera and film are kept in a cool/dry place when not in use.
