minimum charge

Please note we have a minimum charge of £40 for any order received. For this reason we recommend you use the order sheets to work out how much footage you can receive for your £40 payment, for example with Cine film this would equal around 7 of the 3 inch reels. A minimum charge covers the cost of the transfer, administration time (emails, database updating, invoicing etc), cost of the DVD cover design, the actual materials etc.

* A separate minimum charge is added for 9.5mm film
