8mm film, Super 8 film, 9.5mm film and 16mm film:
$6.50 per finished minute or part thereof including GST. (calculated by summing the minute count from each reel and multiplying by the rate – eg, 2 x 3.5 min reels = 7 min charge)
We do not charge a “set up fee” and there are no minimum fees. Film splicing and repair is also included in the price. We do not charge for the labour content of the repair, if your film requires new leaders we will replace them at a cost of $1.50 per leader. Leaders are required to run the film through our HD film scanner, this ensures that every frame is captured and there is no loss of footage.
Approximate 8mm film run times and costs:
- 50 ft reel / 75mm diameter = ±3 minutes. (Approximately $18.00)
- 200 ft reel / 125mm diameter = ± 12 minutes. (Approximately $72.00)
- 400 ft reel / 175mm diameter = ± 24 minutes. (Approximately $140.00)
If you are unsure about how much film is on the reels, email a picture of each reel and we will advise approximate cost. Email dion@nulldvdconversions.co.nz
