I started this adventure with an email request for a phone consultation. I was asked in the link what time would be good for them to call. I said 12:00pm. The next day at exactly 12:00pm I got a call . No lines no waiting. The person I talked to was very pleasant and sent me a form to fill out and an address to send the films to. Once the films arrived at their location another call was placed to me to quote a price and find out what exactly I would like done to my family movies. I asked a few questions about the quality I could expect. I was told that 8mm and super8mm films vary in color and quality due to the age . I was told they capture the images frame by frame to produce the best quality possible. They explained that the images likely would not be crystal clear, may have lines, hairs, skips..... this was acceptable to me . What I hoped for was a sharable copy of our old family movies that would be better than the image I could get from my projector. I was not disappointed. As explained up front the movies did have some artifacts , hairs, lines, skips. That's the way they should be in my opinion. Some of the images are a bit pixilated in full screen mode. Some are not, I think this has to do the film quality. I sent several different films. However they were able to capture images I could no longer see when projected. Viewing in half screen mode the movies are clearer and crisper. These folks were able to bring back images I thought were gone forever. They are personable, prompt, and understand the sentimental value home movies have. They were a pleasure to work with. I hope to send more films in the future.
