Fujifilm has launched a new digitization service in Canada that will create and upload digital versions of film photos and videos.
It’s an entirely Canadian venture for now and available only to residents in the country. The basics are like this: customers would place an order on the Capture Canada website, where packages and service options can vary by volume, then put the items in a box and send the package over via Canada Post.
This is similar to another service Fujifilm already offers aimed at 35mm film and QuickSnap cameras to develop and print them on the company’s photography paper. It continues to operate independently of Capture Canada., including a turnaround time of about two-to-three weeks from the time they receive it and ship it back. Staff will send an email notification when the package arrives in the lab and again when the package is shipped back.
For prints, Capture Canada can process photos ranging from 2×2 to 8×12 inches. For slides, the formats are 35mm, Super 35mm, 35mm Half Frame, 110, 126, 127, 127 Superslide, and 120/220 medium format. All slides must be in plastic or cardboard mounts. Details are a little murkier for film strips, where a company rep couldn’t confirm whether individual frames in a typical strip of four or five would be treated the same as individual slides.
With these video and film formats, staff will produce continuous playback of the footage, with DVD chapters “at natural scene breaks” and a case with thumbnail images of each chapter. There will also be the option to set a title and theme with three one-minute music video trailers that would be easier to share with others online. On top of that, staff will take 80 still image JPEGs from the footage as part of the deal, delivering them to the associated Google Photos account as well.
