Most studios that offer digitization of 8mm and Super 8 home movies can’t afford the tens of thousands of euros in equipment needed to achieve good quality, and they don’t have the restoration experience I’ve gained working with documentary productions.

You don’t want blurry footage, with unnatural colors, low resolution, and shaky frames—especially when the footage shows people who are no longer with us. Choosing the wrong service means wasting your money, just like the owner of the film above, who first relied on a standard internet-based studio (video on the left) and, after visiting my website, realized he wanted the quality I can provide (video on the right).

The two people portrayed in the thumbnail are his parents, who passed away years ago. Is there anyone in the world who would risk receiving the video on the left when digitizing their memories?”
