Apart from YTV (who charge three figures per hour!) can anybody else reccomend a company who provide 'flying-spot' telecine service in the North?

Apart from YTV (who charge three figures per hour!) You sound surprised... in London, ratecard for a Spirit or C-Reality is about £600 per hour. |

Hi John, YTV (Granada/ Carlton) Have bought out Film Lab North, and they have since disposed of their Telecine Machine  Am i being unrealistic expecting to pay less than £100 per hour for Cintel transfer? |

If you want a proper transfer on a decent TK machine at a reasonable facilities house, then yes, you are being unrealistic I'm afraid!

Hi Dan. it depends on what you want to do with it .
If we are talking about 16mm, and your making something like 'Midsomers Murders' Then you will pay these type of costs as it is broadcast spec.
However if you just have a 16mm telly/feature film you want to transfer for home use , then one of the smaller transfer houses that deal with 8mm home movies might be able to do it for you and perhaps come in under £50?
Have a chat with somebody like Derann Films in West Dudley midlands they might be able to point you in the right direction.

the BBC charge a minimum of £200 per hour for a Rank Cintel. I don't think we do! I think our ratecard is £150/hr for a Cintel Mark 3 transfer, £250/hr for the Ursa Diamond and £450/hr for the Spirit. These are at TV Centre in London, however... Steve |

Steve. Is that film running time hour or an hour in the suite?

Steve. Is that film running time hour or an hour in the suite? That's an hour in the suite! A rule of thumb would be to allow five times the running length of the film for grading and transfer. Steve |
