Todd-AO Creative Services has bought a 16mm/35mm Photo-mec film processor for about£80,000. The new machine will be able to process Super 8mm negative film and is believed to make Todd-AO the only company in the UK to offer this processing service. The availability of the processor in Camden will improve the turnaround time for Super 8mm as it is usually shipped to the states. Todd-AO has provided lab services on recent television productions such as Monarch of the Glen and Silent Witness. Managing director Sam Webb claimed the Photomec was bought to cope with overflow capacity, which had previously gone to fellow Ascent group member Soho Images.
