About VideoStation
Since 1979
Video Station is a film and video transfer company founded in England during the late 1970’s. Pictured right is our Rank Cintel telecine machine. Video Station is the first company in the world to use a professional film transfer machine to transfer 8mm movie film for production use.
We pioneered and developed a specialised gate to facilitate the transfer of small format film known as the V3 and is now the industry standard for all modern film scanning equipment. Before this it could only be done with old fashioned projectors.
Back then Video Station was converting film for major television productions for David Niven, Sir John Mills, Peter Cook and many other famous people of years gone by.
One of our first professional production projects was for a UK production called ‘Moving Memories’ by the late Sir John Mills. We converted home footage for the Acadamy Award Winning documentary ‘Anne Frank Remembered’ along with other documentaries such as The Beatles and Dads Army.
