How it works

Getting started and what to expect

Gather Your Film Reels

Get all your reels in one place, decide which ones you want digitized. Check to see if reels smell like vinager, this will indicate whether the film has started to deteriorate or not. If you have a specific order you want to keep, create a label, and transfer into a safe bag, box, or container while transporting.

We Take Care of the Rest

Your film reels will be catalogued, and insprected. Each reel is labeled, spliced together, and preppared for transfer. Using professional transfer equipment and a cool LED bulb, we DO NOT record your film off a sheet using a projector, which may potentially burn your film. Our machine gives us an EXACT measurment of how many feet of film is transffered, that way you are only billed for what footage is actually there. The footage is returned onto your original reels and edited to remove any blank spaces, or perform touch ups. Your videos are then transferred onto a flash drive or DVD and quality checked. We will send you a call or text when it's ready for pick-up!

What You Get Back

You will revieve all your original film reels, each reel will have an indivdual sticker labeled with a number. On your flashdrive, you will see files (Reel_001.mp4) matching the film container labeled #1. For DVD copies there will be stickers on the DVD itself matching the film sticker. Premium DVDs will come with a reel selection menu. Video files come in .mp4 format, allowing play on all computers, laptops, Smart Tvs, and phones.

It’s time to celebrate! Your film is safely digitized. Pick up your digitized memories, and your old reels in store. Now here comes the fun part!
