We are very happy with the transfer of our 16mm film project to 1080p HD. You brought back colors that were missing in our old Betacam SP master of the same program, which really brings the picture to life. The custom HD resolution of 1560x1080 allows us to re-format the program for HD with less resizing, thus maintaining a higher resolution master. The overall picture was sharp but not harsh. We especially appreciate the QuickTime raw file-based masters you delivered on hard drive. As a professional production company, we have been looking for reasonably priced, high quality film transfer for reformatting older films to new HD technologies, and you have provided it.

Thanks for getting the transfer done so quickly. I have received the films and USB drive and all looks good. I have backed up the files to another hard drive. I have done a quick look at each file and so far so good. Thanks so much for your work. I have shared short clips with my family already and they play them over and over laughing and reliving fond memories.
Richard M., Brooklyn, NY               24 November 2008

Overall I am quite hapy with the work you did, and suffice to say I will recommend your company, and when the opportunity comes up I will use your services again.

The transfer looks GREAT! Debenham Media Group did a fantastic job transferring a lot of old and partially damaged 8mm film to HD. The HD files looked amazing. And they did it for a good price.

Now that I've spent all my free time over the last 4 days watching the movies and making DVDs from the files, I have some feedback that I thought you might be interested in. First of all, the transfer quality is superb. The picture quality is astounding, especially considering the age of the films. Great job on that! Although the sound quality is somewhat hit-or-miss (no doubt due to the effects of age and demagnetization), I'm still just happy with the fact that you were able to extract any audio at all. Again, very nice work. Thanks for doing such a good job on my dad's movies. He would have been very pleased!

Just a quick note to say we received the transfer assets yesterday and the results are stunning. I'm glad we did this transfer to get the best we can out of these 8mm artifcats. Short of traveling back to 1970 with a Super-16 gated Bolex, this is the best it gets. Thank you! You recall how difficult it used to be to achieve 1:1 correspondence to eliminate pulldown and interlace artifacts. This process circumvents all that. Brilliant!
Augusto A., New York, NY               17 June 2009

Thank you so much for a great job on the transfers. The footage looks really great, especially considering how damaged and discolored the original reels were. I am very pleased with the result. I had used many other places for Super 8 transfers and your services are by far the best in terms of quality. Customer service is also fantastic. I already shared your info with a couple of friends and will be happy to refer any of my colleagues to your company.

I received the hard drive yesterday. It has been backed up. The digital version loos great.
OK to send the originals back.
Thanks for all your hard work.

I just watched the first DVD out of the five that you transferred from our families' 16mm films. It started in 1955 so it was fun to watch films from so long ago. You did a super job of keeping the films in time order and it was a pleasure to watch. I was actaully surprised at how clear the movies were, given they were stored for such a long time.  Thank you also for all the good advice you gave while we were trying to get this done, for keeping us informed of your progress and for sending the films, hard drive, and DVDs back so quickly. I am really impressed with your work.

You folks are FANTASTIC!  Thank you so much for the great job you did on my ancient films.  You can be absolutely sure I am telling all my friends (and at my age, I have many with celluloid...)
Alan D., Bow, WA           4 September 2009

I am not sure you remember me, but I sure remember you.  In my original e-mail to you, I indicated that I had done quite a bit of research as to what I needed to do with my Mom and Dad's old home 8mm movies.  I told you via e-mail that my Mom paid to have them professionally copied to VHS tape.  I am not sure how they did it, but they copied at the wrong speed, and the film was horrible and totally unwatchable.  I knew there had to be a better way.  My mothers 75th birthday is in 2 weeks, and as a present to her, and my Dad, I decided to get the films copied the correct way, and in a digital format that I could share with my 11 other brothers and sisters.  I must confess that I was totally shocked when you called me personally to address all my concerns as to digital format, transfer method, delivery method, lighting issues, color issues, and the cleaning of the films.  Obviously anything like this from the 60's is fragile, and in most cases irreplacable.  These were the only movies my parents could afford to film as they were raising 12 kids and the film would have been prohibitive.  We are lucky that they spent precious money on this!  You addressed every concern I had, and for that my family thanks you!  I found a nice easter egg in the copy you made as parts of our films were edited out in the VHS tape so it would fit on the tape.  I am seeing some of this for the very first time, and these parts have not been viewed for 30 years! The colorists did a SUPER job, and I personally thank them for it.  FANTASTIC!
Carole T., Madrid, NM         13 October 2009

Thank you very much for your professional and excellent service in transferring my Dad's old home movies.  I viewed the movies on hard drive.  It was great!  Everything worked fine.  I had not been able to watch those movies for a lot of years.  It was so nice to see them again.  You did a great job on preservinig the quality of the images.
Gideon H., Israel         15 September 2009

The films and the disks arrived safely to Israel.  The disk is readable and the quality seems excellent.  Thank you very much for your professinal service.
Jeanne P., Norman, OK           10 November 2009

I received my digital media several weeks ago and I am very pleased with the results of your work.  It is so re-assuring that these precious memories are now preserved for the future of our family.  What a gift you have blessed me with. Thank you again!!!
John G., North Bangor, NY           13 March 2010

The transfer turned out very nice.  I am glad we did the high definition transfer, it maintained the original character of the film.  My uncle was excited to see film of himself and his marine friends in Cuba over 40 years ago.
Tag P., Meridian, MS           22 March 2010

Thank you for a job so well done.  I am very impressed with the quality of the work.
Mark E., Clifton, NJ          15 April 2010

My family is absolutely ecstatic with the fantastic job your company did with our 16mm reels.  Look at these comparison shots here of the old VHS transfer we had done many years ago.

The quality difference is unbelievable.  The other company didn't even get the 18fps to 30fps conversion correct, so we were used to watching our home movies at the wrong speed.  Everybody was running!  The VHS copy also had some of the film cropped off, not to mention horrendous color.

Thanks for your attention to detail in every part of my HD job.  We'll be sending you some additional 8mm reels, and I'll definitely recommend your company to my friends.
Tag P., Meridian, MS           22 April 2010

Once again, you have exceeded my expectations.  I very much appreciate the quality of your work and the care you took with my originals.  I will recommend your company galdly to friends and colleagues.
Brock L., Brooklyn, NY          27 June 2010

I'm just writing to thank you for the fantastic work on our transfers, and for recommending the HD.  The transfers were breathtaking.  We screened a 70 minute edited film off a Christie 2K in a 300 seat theater and it looked simply brilliant.  The audience loved it and they were quite vocal in telling me how vivid the image looked and felt....they said it transported them back in time.

Thank you and I look forward to working with you in the near future.
Dr. Arnold L., Greenwich, CT          17 June 2010

I received the hard disk and movies.  I can see the difference between standard transfer and high definition.  I easily transferred the data to my quad core iMac and am working with it in iMovie.  Absolutely worth the extra 300 for the high quality transfer.  These movies are priceless.  I will keep you in mind for my future film transfer and pass my satisfaction with your work on to my friends, who are faced with similar decisions.
