Preparing Your Film
  • Gather your film reels together.  If you have different types of film (8mm, Super8, or 16mm), group them by type.
  • Number your film reels in the order you would like them to appear.  Hint: Look for dates on the postmarks and film processing dates on the inside of the yellow boxes.
  • Think of a title.  For example, "The Gibson Family Films" or "Our Trip to Alaska."
  • Bring us your film and we will turn your old movies into an enjoyable DVD, Blu-ray Disc or video.
