Capture.HK Revolutionises Memories with the Launch of Slide Film Digitisation Service
- Written by Media Outreach
Preserving History and Inspiring Moments Slides have a rich history that spans several decades, playing a significant role in preserving and sharing colour images. Originating in the mid-19th century, slides quickly became popular with Kodak’s introduction of the legendary Kodachrome slide film in 1935. In Hong Kong alone, Capture.HK estimates millions of slides in Hong Kong alone still waiting to be digitised.
Slides serve a multitude of purposes and found significant utility in preserving and documenting family, company or an organisation’s history, ensuring that legacies are passed down through generations. They provide stable colour and vibrant saturation, often used for print magazines and journalism. Slides also found extensive application in presentations for educational and corporate environments. Moreover, slides play a significant role in photography exhibitions, captivating audiences with their ability to showcase vivid imagery and artistry when projected through the famed “Carousel” projector. Hobbyists around the world cheered in 2017 when Kodak Alaris revived the slide film Ektachrome for consumer and cinematic use because of it is fine grain and surreal colour saturation.
Sharing Timeless Moments Capture.HK brings joy to customers by digitising and preserving timeless moments, allowing them to share these precious memories with others. The process of digitisation offers a unique opportunity to revive and relive cherished moments for both corporations and consumers.“King Fook is soon celebrating our 75th anniversary. This is a huge milestone for a company that is a part of the fabric of Hong Kong. It was so important to uncover our rich archive of historical artefacts with the help of Capture.HK.” Says Paulette Sum, CEO at King Fook Holdings Limited. “We had years of memories stored of chronicling major company events. Many of our images are slides of precious jewellery from over 50 years ago that we know our customer still cherish to this day.”
One satisfied customer, David Nesbitt of the Nesbitt Centre, shared his experience with Capture.HK's Slide Digitisation service. "I had a collection of slides documenting my family's and Hong Kong’s history such as Kai Tak Airport, Jumbo Floating Restaurant, but they were fading away. I decided to digitise them with Capture.HK, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team captured the essence of each slide, preserving the vibrant colours and intricate details. Now, I can easily share these memories with my loved ones through Google Photos."
