I had 10 reels of 8mm film previously converted by another lab, those films came back so-so at best. They looked washed out, with little contrast, and visible dust spots throughout the images. Bottom line they just looked dull, and frankly I was a bit embarrassed to give those copies to my relatives as presents last year. But since none of us have an 8mm projector it was the only way we'd ever see them. Then this past Thanksgiving I found that my sister had a box of 10 more reels of 8mm film shot by my Dad. The film had been stored in a couple different basements for 40 years, then it spent a few years in a cardboard box hidden in a corner of my sister's garage in New Mexico. I decided to do a test run with digmypics, I sent in one 400' 8mm reel shot back in 1961. I hadn't seen the images on the reel since probably about 1965 or so. Lots of life events happened between then and now. Being that this film had not been treated with the greatest of care, my expectations were low. When I got the e-mail showing the film had been converted, I watched it.... I was not expecting the amazing clarity, the vibrant color, ASTOUNDING quality and the unbelievable job done with this film. I was shocked to see how good it looked. The only thing not there was the click, click, click (and an occasional burned out bulb) of my Dad's projector, they weren't missed. The video is me at the age of 4, it's the only memories I have from back that far. I can't thank you enough for bring this back to life for me. BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! You guys are the BEST.

This was an order consisting of 8mm films, but a previous submission included both films and 35mm slides. Nice job with everything. Will be sending a further order. Communication on scanning progress is very good. Turn-around is prompt. Had to call for a minor order adjustment and it was handled promptly, pleasantly and correctly. Would highly recommend this company.

My father passed away and we had old 8mm reels of film I had no recollection of seeing. There were four reels and I was nervous to send them in the mail after briefly speaking to company on phone. I received updates every step of the way from film cleaning to film organization. I was able to email or call any time along the way. And when the company shipped the media back to me, I could choose the method I wished. The films are beautiful and exceeded my expectations in every way. Both presentation and careful packaging. I would recommend this company for any important project.

This is the second time I've used DigMyPics for digitizing media, and both times the experience was exceptional. These folks do very high quality work, provide good pricing (better that local services her in L.A.), and are very accommodating about special needs and requests. The first order was a simple 35mm slides transfer, but this second order was large, complex (8mm film, VHS, a BUNCH of slides), and had many more moving parts. Can't wait to get the hard drive with all the media content, and the original materials back in hand! And, while everybody I dealt with was helpful and friendly, I want to especially commend Daniel for being very conscientious and effective in helping coordinate and complete these orders. A+ all around!

Digmypics did an outstanding job in scanning some old slides into prints. Their service is incredible. They kept me informed every step of the way. When my original slides were returned to me in the original baggie I shipped them in, I knew that they had been well taken care of. Digmypics respected the fact that these old slides of my sons were important to me. Great job!!

I had (12) 8mm video reels that were 70 years old and had been stored in an attic for the last 20 years. I received the original videos back along with new reproduced videos and all of the footage on a flash drive. I was surprised at the quality and the color of the reproduction. I easily copied this footage to other flash drives to give them to other family members. During the process, I had (2) questions that were quickly answered by e-mail. I whole heartedly recommend digmypics to all.

My dad had a passion for filming every event he could going back to the late 70s. By the early 80s he had a camera he could film directly to VHS and he captured almost every holiday and family event into the 90s. I was able to digitize all the VHS films for him and my mom as a Christmas gift last year but the older films they had were on super8. I tried converting myself with a wolverine device but the blue from the LED light was just so overpowering that every film came out completely saturated in blue I was almost ready to give up till I found this website and decided to take a shot and see how it would turn out. I will admit I was nervous about sending the only copies of their super8s but I really wanted to get this done before Christmas. Needless to say Daniel who I worked with and his teammates did an awesome job! Also my parents wedding from 1977 shot by my uncle was really dark due to the church and reception hall not having much light. I informed them of this and said anything you guys can do to lighten it so it's watchable would be appreciated. They did it and there's a huge difference it what it was. I am so pleased with the work they did and I cannot wait to add some music over this and the audio track for the wedding and present it to my parents for Christmas they are going to love it they haven't seen these films since probably the early 80s.
