What is Telecine?
Telecine is the process of getting the physical film image onto video tape or into a digital form. Professional telecine uses a specialist machine which scans each film frame and transfers it to the chosen medium (analogue of digital video tape). Pro telecine can be expensive, but does allow for on-the-hoof changes to the image to give the best possible results. Other telecine solutions use high quality camera set ups to record the image to tape or burn it onto DVD. The most cheap and cheerful solution however, is to use a Super 8 projector to project the image onto a flat white surface and film it using a video camera.
