35mm motion-picture film processing and scanning

Analogue Image provides 35mm motion-picture lab services for filmmakers and archive projects from Wood Green, London. Plan processing and scanning together so your camera footage or existing film elements reach post-production with the specification your project needs.

Process 35mm film

Our in-house Calder processors provide ECN-2 colour-negative and D96 black-and-white negative processing. Tell us the stock, approximate footage and roll sizes when requesting an estimate. These services concern motion-picture material; if you have still-photography film or an unidentified stock, check suitability with the lab first.

For Kodak motion-picture stocks, provide the stock name and code so we can confirm the process and service. Stock compatibility matters more than the brand alone. Any unusual process or requested variation needs to be agreed before the film is sent.

Scan 35mm film in 4K

Our Blackmagic Cintel scans 35mm film in 4K. Include the film format, intended framing and editing or finishing requirements in your enquiry. Discuss the delivered dimensions, file format and colour workflow before booking, particularly if your production has an established post-production specification.

Work with existing 35mm archive material

A developed negative or print does not need ordinary developing again. A 35mm archive scan begins with identifying the element, assessing its condition and agreeing preparation and scanning requirements. Let us know about damage, shrinkage, uncertain film base or any sound requirement before sending reels. Acceptance and handling of unusual material must be confirmed by the lab.

Keep the project organised

Use a consistent roll or reel reference across the cans, inventory and delivery brief. State the total footage, the priority material and any need for deliveries in batches. For a mixed archive, keep the original identification and describe uncertainties rather than guessing.

Request a 35mm quote

Use the detailed quote form for the footage, material type and target schedule. For a large or unidentified collection, contact us first to agree the information needed for assessment. Explore our film lab services for an overview.
