About Us

T R A N S F E R S

Finding that there is a lack of support for affordable high resolution transfers, I began researching my own ways to do it. I shot a few short films and soon thereafter other filmmakers began approaching me wondering how I got my super 8 to look so good... 5 years have passed and with the support of other cinematographers, I created our little studio called Frame Discreet. Our custom super 8 and 16mm transfers have us trusted by archivists and filmmakers all across North America.

Our team of cinematographers (listed below) act as a collective, inspiring each other on and off set. We have a full range of experience working on features (Max Payne, The Hulk) to music videos (Hayden, Emily Haines), to Documentaries (CBC, YTV, MTV, Bravo!). Having our own gear and being able to supervise transfers in house allows us the freedom to create desireable 'film looks' at a much more affordable rate. In the end, we're trying to make it easier to collaborate, work with film and keep doin' what we love.

Michael Leblanc 35mm shoot




Frame Discreet Cinematographers Michael Leblanc and Justin Lovell booted out to Grimsby to shoot a trailer for a proposed feature on 35mm. It was a quiet small town and we were able to capture some beautiful images. Leblanc's reference for lighting was the naturalistic work by Roger Deakins in No Country for Old Men. Ever had to load mags in a Subway sub shop..? First time for everything. Included in the pictures is Director Iris Fraser and our Producer, the legendary Dan Beckerman.
