Projects are priced on a per-item estimate. Below you can see typical pricing. Each project is unique so I’ll need to speak with you to get an accurate estimate.
* Reels are priced per 3-inch reel (most common 8mm reel size). A typical 3-inch reel is 50 feet of film. Here is a table to help understand 8mm reel lengths and runtimes:
