This is the time to transfer your home movies. We’ll show you how!

Do you have old family home movie reels that you've vowed to transfer to a modern media someday? We're here to remind you that now's the time! Don't deny yourself and your loved ones the pleasure that these treasured memories bring.

Did you know that this time of year kicks off our busiest time for transferring home movies? Call us today and let's get started. Here's why!

• The Holiday season is soon upon us and everybody wants in on this great idea. Get in line early to finally get that 8mm, Super8 or 16mm film onto a medium that's long lasting and not as subject to deterioration or destruction. Give yourself a gift of your own peace of mind.
• Nothing ties together a season of merriment and togetherness like the feeling you get watching precious memories from your past together. Everyone from great grandparents to great grandchildren can enjoy them together!
• DVDs of your Home Movies make excellent gifts! One easy phone call and you're on your way to a heartfelt gift for practically everyone on your list! And copies are a phone call away.

Be a part of history with Home Movie Day!

Preserving and enjoying your home movies is such a big deal there's even a special day celebrated around the world in mid-October (this year it's the 17th) to watch and remember the unique stories that were written through the lenses of parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, and children who lived in the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s and documented their life and times with a home movie camera.

Do you have some of these "stories" lying around your house? Now is the time to get them told to your family and your community. Transfer them so they can be seen!

You may have some questions. Here are a few common ones. If you have any more call us:

My film is very old. Will it transfer? 
We make every effort to transfer your film no matter what condition it is in and we are rarely stumped. We have transferred movies dating as far back as 1916 and usually have no problem with old film.

Will my old 8mm, Super8 or 16mm film look good?
We love home movies and we are on a mission to make sure yours is the best it can be! That's why we've invested in the best film transfer equipment available. We use a completely digital process using the highest quality capture of your film.

Another great feature of our system is its sprocketless transport and laser frame alignment. What does that mean to you? It means no jerky film movement because of damaged sprocket holes. It means you see 100% of the frame even if the film has shrunk.

I remember my parents recorded sound on some of these reels. Will that transfer too? If there is sound on your reels it will be transferred. What a joy it is to not only see the past but to hear it as well.

What about music or sound on film? 
If you like, and most customers do, we include (at no extra charge) background music. It is our own copyrighted score of music, specifically composed for home movie transfers. No music will be recorded in places where you already have sound on film.

I want to edit as well. Can you make computer files of the captured footage? Yes. We can make computer video files.

Can I organize my film in the order I want? 
Of course. Just number your reels and we will follow your wishes.

Can you put titles on our video? 
Yes. We can put titles anywhere on your captured film to help you identify where it was taken.

There's no better time than now to transfer those old home movies.

Top 5 Movies with Home Movies in them

Since we're talking about your home movies let's revisit some classic films with home movies in them.

Christmas Vacation – Clark Griswold gets locked in the attic and what does he find to pass the time? Old home movies and a projector that works! (this is Hollywood, remember.) Clark relives his childhood while staying warm with old ladies clothing.

Down and Out in Beverly HIlls – Max, a troubled teen with rich yet dysfunctional parents, is able to express himself only through the lens of his camera. His creations help move the story in this funny 80's-a-rama.

JFK – Uses the most famous of all home movies – the Zapruder 8mm film that captured the events of November 22, 1963 in Dallas.

Blair Witch Project – Using the literary genre commonly known as “found footage” the home movies in this project give us clues as to what happened to three teenagers who disappeared in the woods. Scary. But remember…it's only a movie.

Sunset Boulevard – OK. Norma Desmond is watching herself in Hollywood movies. But they are movies and they're in her home. It's just a great scene with her famous quote, “I am big. It's the pictures that got smaller.”

Call us for Sports Videos: We Got Game

You probably shoot a lot of your life on video these days. There are family get-togethers, plays and performances, vacations, you name it. But if there was ever an activity made for video it’s sports action. At our studio we produce two types of sports videos. One we call a Sports Highlights Video and the other a Sports Scholarship Video.

Sports Highlight Videos
A three point buzzer beater. An eighteenth hole birdie. A “hail Mary” caught in the end zone as time expires. Sports action happens quickly. Is it on tape? Why not make that moment, and all your sports moments, lifetime memories? A sports highlight video is a specially produced memento that, whether personal or for your booster club, can be entertaining, inspiring, and maybe raise a little money as well.

We can help you with Sports Center-like effects. Add slow motion or fast motion. Isolate a particular athlete (like yourself?) or point them out with arrows and stop action. Add titles and, of course, some appropriate music. Put in some narration. Mix in newspaper headlines. There’s play by play audio. Interviews. Pre-game speeches and post-game jubilation!

What kind of story do you want to tell? The story of a high school team’s great season? The legend of your senior golf buddies? What about highlighting a special young soccer player? Maybe you’ll even want a blooper reel! We often say: “If your creative mind can conceive it, we can most likely achieve it.” So get your sterling sports moments together. You’ll soon have a personalized sports spectacular presented on a silver platter.

Sports Scholarship Videos
A Sports Scholarship is a specialty video with one purpose: To convince a decision maker that the subject is worthy of consideration for an athletic scholarship. No matter the sport one thing is sure: There may only get one chance in the Sports Scholarship arena. We know how to do it right!

• Do you have good video that shows your athlete in their best light? Coaches will make choices in ten seconds or less to stay or move on. Do you know what they’re looking for?
• A sports scholarship video must be concise and to the point. Our editing skills and equipment assure this.
• A sports scholarship video must include your name, contact information, school, position, uniform colors, jersey number and current grade level. We can do this correctly and make it look sharp.
• Don't forget the packaging. The greatest Sports Scholarship video in the world will be passed over if it doesn’t look appealing. We know how to package videos with labeling that looks great.

There’s a lot that goes into a Sports Scholarship video. Maybe more than you feel comfortable doing yourself! We are able to provide all the elements to present your student athlete in their most favorable light - from shooting your athlete in action to using your video to edit or any step along the way.

Top Five Sports Movie Tunes

A great musical theme is what keeps a movie in the cultural psyche for generations. How do you know if it’s a great one? For starters you’ll be able to whistle it thirty years later, or more! In keeping with our theme of Sports Videos here are five of the greatest sports movie tunes that are still being whistled today.

Theme from Rocky – Still the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. How many times have you laced up your running shoes (or maybe just got out of bed) with this theme running through your head?

Theme from The Natural – Those majestic strains (Da-da-daaaa, dum-dum-duuum) still make the hair on the back of your neck stand don’t they? C’mon, admit it!

Theme from Chariots of Fire – The perfect slow motion running song. Where does it take you?

I Believe I Can Fly – Space Jam was an NBA PR piece disguised as a movie, and boy did the kids love it!

Eye of the Tiger – Yes, Rocky gets two great tunes! From Rocky III came this song of desire, redemption, and wild animals.

Back to School means Video to DVA and DVD Memories

This time of year is chock full of moments to remember. Summer is winding down. You probably took lots of video and photographs over the summer - at the beach, family reunions, pool parties and camping. Back to school activities are heating up. Your probably going to take lots of back to school photos and videos - new clothes, new friends, football games and cheerleading. Here are a few ideas of things we can do at Home Video Studio to help you preserve those moments as well as present them on a silver platter. 

Family Time Video: Why not spice up your videos with themes, titles and music? What if you took the best video from that family reunion and added titles showing who attended? How about editing that summer pool party with some fast cuts and great music? Your imagination is the limit to how you can creatively turn video into your own creation. 

Photo Video Keepsake: This is still one our most popular services. Can you imagine the impact of a montage of photos and stirring music showing your daughter or grandson from birth to first day of school? How about a time capsule of school pictures? 

Sports Highlight Video: Fast becoming a favorite! Back to school means lots of athletic competition. Now is the time to capture you son or daughter's games on video so that at the end of the year we can help you condense it into a fast paced video production. Music, slow motion, special effects....you're the producer! 

Video to DVA or DVD Transfers: Bring us all videos you've shot over the summer - we'll transfer them to Digital Video Archive (DVA) or an Archival DVD for you. This will keep them safe and convenient. These DVDs are scratch resistant and will keep your memories for a lifetime. Every DVD has scene selection "smart chapter markers" so you can easily find your favorite spots. Call us today to see how we can help you with back to school video savings!
