Phil kept me updated from the day he received them, sent me a tester via email to make sure I was happy with the quality, and even made sure I would be home to receive the delivery when it arrived. Absolutely superb service, I couldn’t fault it, well done Phil, I would not hesitate to recommend your services at any time.

Dear Phil, you've done a wonderful job with the reels and I'm so grateful our paths crossed! Thank you for all your care and diligence towards my footage, and I'm very impressed with the results.
Tom, Somerset
Many thanks for the excellent job that you done on transferring my films to DVD. We are very pleased with the results and the memories from 40 years ago.
Keith, Ipswich
From my first telephone contact with Phil I was aware of the passion and pride in his work; I knew that the transfer of our rather sad and neglected 1960’s 8mm cine films to a digital format could be safely left in his care. From us posting the 10 reels, to receiving them back took just 5 days and the digitised version was better than we had hoped for. A big thank you Phil.
Jean, Plymouth
Received the surprise film and indeed it contained just what I had thought it would be of. It is a very nice remembrance of my parents and family… it has been a very long time since 1946 and I am glad it came out that well.
Lillian, USA
The package turned up safe and sound and my brother is absolutely delighted with the DVD’s! Thank you so much for the efficient and prompt service. I will definitely use your service again. Thanks again!
Carol, Croydon
