I just recently started converting film to digital (DVDs and/or computer files). I really should have mentioned it here but I’m still not used to this blog thing–I need to update it more often.Anyway, I just received my first review from a customer. It reinforces my claim about the quality of service I provide and also confirms the need for this service, so I thought I would share it here unedited.

Dear Robert,

I am very pleased with the digital transfer that you did for me of my parents’ old 8mm film reels.

I had bought some equiptment a while back to try to transfer it myself, but I wasn’t satisfied with my result. My effort yeilded an uneven and often blurry or overexposed image.

Not so with your transfer. You must have gone to maticulous lengths or have much better equiptment than I did. My parents’ footage was steady, clear, and crisp.

I also had a VHS copy of some other 8mm footage that someone had transferred back in the 80s.

I gave the original source 8mm reels to you and you created a much better transferred image than that other guy years before.

My parents recently had a house fire that consumed everything except for what they carried out. It was especially difficult for my mom to adjust losing everything.

They initially thought that their old 8mm footage was left in their attic and thus, lost forever. However I had it safely at my house.

They haven’t seen this 1969 honeymoon-vacation footage of themselves in decades.

I am going to give them the DVD copies of everything that you carefully prepared as an anniversary gift this coming Feburary. I’m excited to see them relive those moments.

Thank you very much for your excellent work.

Jeremy Smith
