New Ad for Film & Video Transfers

We're trying out one of those ads on a restaurant placement advertising our work transferring home movies—films and videos—to DVD. It will appear at Adamo's pizzeria/restaurant in Easthampton.

Here's the ad:

Corporate Video—Great Review!

Just received a great review for my work on a series of enrollment videos for the Hartsbrook School!

A Great Reason to Transfer Your Home Videos

I recently transferred some old 8mm films to DVD for a client. Some of her film reels had suffered water damage. Here is a picture of one of the damaged reels. Much of the reel was covered with a white mold and brown mildew.

We clean all of our client's reels with a special cleaner made just for film. It really takes care of most of the dirt and hair that accumulates, but her film was severely damaged. Below are some stills from her damaged film after cleaning.













Best to get your films transferred sooner rather than later, and avoid losing any precious memories!

Thank You Note

Lately received a thank you note from Sara and Billy, who were married at the Most Holy Redeemer Church in Hadley, MA. Their reception was at the Sheraton Springfield.

"1 word—Fantastic! We love it! Thank you so much for all your work and amazing talent! It is wonderful that there are extra copies for our families! Great Christmas Gift! We truly enjoyed and loved seeing the finished product. We got so many laughs and saw so much we had no idea of. This video will be a continuous reminder of what an amazing day we had. Again I can't thank you enough for the wonderful work you did with our wedding video. I will certainly recommend you to any couple planning a wedding."

New Year's Eve Wedding

On New Year's Eve, I was in Longmeadow, MA for Meaghan and Tom's wedding. They were married at St. Mary's Church with the reception at the Longmeadow Country Club. A bit of snow throughout the day made for a beautiful setting, and I got home in time for the New Year's countdown with visiting friends from Virginia!

Hartsbrook School Video Online

Today I'm uploading the Hartsbrook School's enrollment videos to Vimeo.com. There are three, one for the early childhood program, one for the elementary school, and one for the high school.

Amherst College

On Saturday, I was in Amherst for Krista and Aaron's wedding. The ceremony was at the Johnson Chapel on the Amherst College campus, with the reception at the Lewis-Sebring Commons, also on the campus.

Great idea: turning their wedding program into a fan, so guests could keep cool!

Got to work with some new (for me) vendors there. Becky Kusek was a great photographer to work with. You'll see great work on her website—I especially like her nighttime exposures using streetlamps and marquees. Dana Collins was the DJ and kept the party moving. And Erica Kates was the wedding planner who kept everything running smoothly.
