OT: Film archive advice
Hi everybody,
My grandfather made advertising films and family movies on 16mm back in the 30’s & 40’s. My Uncle now has these reels and I’ve been charged with reseraching how we should archive this stuff.
The film itself has so far held up OK, at least on the family reels we watched a few years ago.We don’t have a ton to spend and need to choose a good format to transfer to.
Most local places will make standard mini-DV’s for a reasonable rate, but I don’t like the resolution factor.
Can anyone give me some ideas, websites, people to talk to?Thanks

Have your film transferred to an HD format. Some companies go directly to some form of HD Tape and/or Memory Storage Card. These can also be burned to Blu Ray and/or SD DVD for viewing. You can also have the original transfer files stored on disc as data files. My company does this often. Good luck!

Try Roger Evans at MovieStuff or Grace McKay at Electric Pictures.
Several folks here have used Roger’s services and/or his equipment and speak very highly of him.
