LOOKING FOR SOMETHING YOU DON’T SEE?

What’s available on Analog Film Stock today represents only a small portion of our archive.

We’re actively scanning and restoring analog film from thousands of reels of 8mm and 16mm footage — with more coming online every week. Many locations, eras, and moments exist in the archive but haven’t been digitized or published yet.

If you’re searching for something specific, there’s a good chance it already exists.

If you’re not sure how to describe what you’re looking for, that’s okay. Start with what you know — we’ll help from there.

STANDARD SCAN DELIVERY

All footage currently available through Analog Film Stock is scanned and delivered using a consistent, filmmaker-friendly standard.

Current standard delivery specifications:

  • Resolution: 16mm 4K (4000 × 3000) 8mm (3000 x 2250)

  • Aspect Ratio: 4:3 (native to the original film frame)

  • Codec: H.265 (HEVC)

This format preserves the full image area of the original film while providing efficient file sizes suitable for modern editing and delivery workflows.

Analog Film Stock operates as a DBA of Slate & Glass, and this standard reflects the same workflow we use on our own documentary projects.

WHY 4K 4:3?

We scan film at its native aspect ratio to preserve the full frame — including headroom and edge detail that is often lost in widescreen conversions.

This gives filmmakers flexibility to:

  • Crop for 16:9, 1.85:1, or other delivery formats

  • Reframe shots in post

  • Preserve the authentic character of the original footage

Nothing is cropped or resized unless requested.

DELIVERY OPTIONS

Standard delivery is included with all scanning and licensing.

For projects that require higher bit depth, expanded color information, or maximum flexibility in post-production, ProRes 4444 delivery is available at an additional fee of $500 per reel.
