Urgent - I received a rather lovely 8mm cinefilm a month or so ago of a lovely family trip to Venice, it’s a beautiful film. The only issue is that there is absolutely no detail within the parcel to tell me who it belongs to. So I am hoping you read this and get in touch with your details.

21st October 2020 - Finally in my new office (which was my old office from 2003 to 2008) - The new Memory 4K Scanbox from CTM Debrie Technology, Paris is in place but not connected to anything yet. I will be learning to get the very best from this stunning piece of equipment over the next week or so and will then start on the small backlog of cinefilm.

Covid19 - A quick note. We are still up and running so if you need your video tapes or cine films saved please do still get in touch. Give me a call to talk through what you have and what you want.

Well, here we are, well into our 18th year of savethosememories! It made me realise how old our video tapes really are. Early camcorder users will have video tapes that are over 30 years old. Video tapes are not designed for longevity and as I say to all my customers who have both Cine Film and Video Tape “your old camcorder tapes need to be saved to digital first”. So make this the year you save your old video tapes, whether large VHS or the smaller VHS-c, Video8, Hi-8, Digital 8, MiniDV or microMV, they are falling off a cliff compared to cine film.

I’ve had 11 glorious years with the class leading Memory HD from CTM Debrie in Paris. The brand new Memory 4k Scanbox can create full 4k, 2k, HD and SD from your 16mm, 9.5mm, standard 8mm and Super 8mm cinefilm with full sound capabilities as before. Everything else stays the same with my attention to detail, cleaning and repair and most of all the colour and exposure corrections happening BEFORE capture. That’s why I stayed with the Debrie technology, it just works. So please do get in touch and I will be happy to save your archives on a brand spanking new Memory 4k scanbox.

Right, on with the detail…..

My name is Chris, I set up my company in February 2003 and I have now spent over 17 years striving for the perfect digital image, taking every aspect of this business very seriously indeed. Whether it is a Cinefilm to DVD transfer, or any other format such as Camcorder tape transfer, Video tape transfer, Disc, Card, Photo or Slide. I aim to provide the best possible service using class leading equipment, such as the brand new for 2020 “Memory 4K Scanbox” for cine film or the Rimage Everest Encore Disc printer. Click on one of the boxes below and it will take you to all the information you need about your current archive format and how I will turn it into a digital format for you. I never, ever cut corners and every decision is made with quality in mind. Only I work here, you will only ever talk to me so you will get exactly what you want from my service, it will be tailored to your needs and hopefully your final archive will far exceed your expectations. I will always be upfront and tell you what equipment I use and how your films and videos will be digitized (No one else does that). I look forward to hearing from you.
