Highly recommended! We trusted AV Workshop with all of our parents’ 8mm home movies from 1955-72. 70+ reels, 12,000 feet of old, fragile, irreplaceable film. AV converted everything from film to .mp4 files on a hard drive. Great result, great to work with, competitive prices, on-time work; completely upfront about prices, methods, and equipment.
Recommended because:
1.If you are just starting, the AV website has straightforward info on what AV does and how they do it. It names the equipment and explains their pricing completely. Very helpful in comparison shopping and understanding what you get with a low-priced vs. high-priced job.
2.A pleasure to work with. Scott Sargent (the owner) was upfront, honest, and detail-oriented in setting up the job. His pricing was competitive, and he delivered on schedule. His staff was a pleasure to speak with.
3.Excellent result. We have watched several hours of the movies and seen only good-quality work.
We were so pleased that we went back with 2,000 slides from 1940-1986. I look forward to posting another review as soon we have seen them.
