LONDON, Jan. 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- In 1929 British Movietonews Limited was the first cinema newsreel company to introduce sound newsreels; until that time newsreels like feature films were silent. Now once again British Movietonews leads the way introducing the most modern digital technology in the industry.
With new cutting edge technology the company can download broadcast quality files anyplace in the world in a matter of minutes. This means that stories from the company's entire collection of high quality newsreels, featuring people, places and things that can't be recreated, can be downloaded over the internet in a matter of minutes.
This service is of special interest to international customers who now no longer have to wait days for tape transfers and expensive courier delivery for the material they need for inclusion in their documentaries, commercials or music videos.
It is possible for anyone to research and view the entire archive collection at no charge on the company's website http://www.movietone.com; material can then be requested in either broadcast or screening resolution.
