FILM REELS Reviews

5 Rating 22 Reviews
Excellent communication from start to finish. My 8mm tapes were treated like the personal treasures that they are. Expert digital conversion has brought my 1970's days as a thoroughbred trainer back to life. I especially appreciated the thoughtful keepsake presentation packaging at pick up.

I had many VHS-C tapes to be digitized in addition to 60+ year old 8mm reel to reel film to be digitized. Everpresent did a wonderful job and the results were beyond my expectations. This is especially true of the 8mm film that was not in the best condition when it was sent to Everpresent.

After my father died, I was cleaning out his house and came across a box containing a number of old 8mm and 16mm films. I had no idea what was on these - they weren't well labeled - but I wanted to convert them to a usable format. I first tried a different company, not being aware of EverPresent, and was underwhelmed: they joined four reels of film together in one massive digital file, and inexplicably laid a treacly piano soundtrack on top of the original silent footage. After doing some research, I found EverPresent, which seemed more convenient (I could drop the films off at a physical location instead of packaging and mailing them myself) and with a better approach to digitization. I initially sent them the same batch of films that had been digitized by the other company, and was very impressed with the difference: the transfer was more crisp, the films were separated into individual files and were easy to download, and there was no unwanted piano music. Since then, I've brought two more sets of films to EverPresent, and just dropped off a third. The quality of the digital transfers has been outstanding, the speed of the service is impressive, the communication with the staff is excellent, the original media is treated well and returned in the same condition as when I dropped them off, and the cost is reasonable for topnotch work. I'm very happy I found EverPresent, which has enabled my family and I to get priceless glimpses into the everyday lives of our parents and grandparents. I recommend EverPresent without hesitation to anyone thinking of having old physical media transferred to digital formats.

I was very happy with both the quality of the digitized films and the attention and care that various staff members gave to my project during the month-long digitization process. The hundreds of people who benefited from the transfer of old 8mm sports films to video links are as grateful to me as I am to EverPresent.

I found a bunch of old video and 8mm film and was going to use another service I keep seeing ads for but after reading some horrible reviews I decided to use EverPresent. They had a drop off location that was literally a two minute walk from my home and the whole process went smoothly with updated emails informing me of the progress. I'm very satisfied how everything came out and family members were super thrilled when I shared the website link with them.

Thank you for converting my late mother's old home movies into digital files. I was able to edit them in Premier Pro and put a 12 minute video with a music track together for my family. They loved seeing old family members long departed. It was cathartic for me as well, to see mom as a young woman on her honeymoon so full of hope and happiness. If I find any more I will bring them in. Here's the video I put together in case you are interested. https://youtu.be/rEhQSAOkrjA
