For decades, the standard way to preserve home movies was to transfer them to DVD in standard definition. While that was once the best available, today’s technology has revealed something remarkable: your old 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm films actually contain far more detail than standard transfers can show. Most home movie films have the resolution power of High-Definition (1080p)—making it the perfect match for today’s big-screen HDTVs. Transferring to High Definition means you’ll see sharper images, brighter colors, and details you may never have noticed before.
Just as important as the resolution is who you trust with your memories. Many online companies have questionable reviews, long wait times, and no real person to talk to if there’s an issue. Some even send transfers back with disclaimers blaming poor results on “the condition of your film.” In reality, much of the poor quality comes from their use of inferior equipment that simply can’t capture the detail your film holds. When we tested this ourselves, we received that same excuse—despite sending in film that had nothing wrong with it.
At Tailor Made Film & Video Transfers, we take a completely different approach. Every order is cataloged and cleaned, then captured in High Definition using high-end professional transfer equipment. After capture, each project is reviewed scene by scene to improve lighting, adjust contrast, edit blank footage, add background music, and titles. The result is a polished, professional presentation you’ll be proud to share. And unlike the companies that make you wait months, we complete most projects in about a week—with a real person available to guide you every step of the way.
Since 1985, Tailor Made Film & Video Transfers has been a nationwide leader in film and video preservation. In addition to High-Definition film transfers, we also convert videotapes, slides, photos, and audio recordings.
