One often hears Film Recording referred to in many different ways. Sometimes it is called scanning-to-film or video-to-film or digital-to-film or even the term transferring-to-film is used. Quite simply though it is the process of recording digital data, in the form of images, onto motion picture film stock.

At Digital Film Group, we use only true film resolution film-recorders, recognized by the motion picture film industry as being capable of accurately producing HD, 2K or 4K resolutions (2000 and 4000 lines) on film.

If you really care about your final image quality it is important to understand that there is a

There are only a few qualified film resolution recorders acknowledged by the motion picture film industry today. Film Recording machines like the Lasergraphics, the ARRI, and the Celco were originally designed for Visual F/X work and were required to record images on film with a high enough resolution that they could actually be inter-cut with the original camera negative film images without any noticeable difference
