Fresh Coast, LTD, Milwaukee Media Duplication

I recently hired Fresh Coast to transfer all my old 8 mm film to DVD, and I’m very happy with the results. The film consisted of all the family footage that my dad shot during the late 50s through the 80s, along with some footage that I shot during a trip to the USSR back in 1981. The film was old, not in the best of shape, and required cleaning and some re-​splicing, and Fresh Coast did a wonderful job with this as well as converting the images to DVD format. They do all their own work, so you are talking directly to the people who will be working on your film, and they are happy to explain in length and detail their processes, so you can ask them anything and have enough information to make a good decision. That’s important because having this done right is not a cheap decision. One of my concerns when I decided to convert the film is that I wanted to know who would be doing the work and what sort of process was going to be used. If you spend any time at all researching this you learn quickly that there are many different ways of converting 8 mm film to digital format, and all methods are most definitely not equal. With Fresh Coast, I knew who would actually be doing the work, and exactly what process they would be using. They use quality equipment and quality techniques, and they have experience in doing this work. They’re not the cheapest around, but I definitely feel that I got good value for my dollars spent. Their normal work hours can make it tough to meet them if you have a normal day job, but they do work by appointment on the weekends.
