"Newsreel productions transfer's of 8mm film we're second to none. The quality was high enough for use in our latest feature film. In these times of mixed format productions, it is great that Newsreel is there to bring 8mm to us as a viable, workable format. "

"Oliver transferred about 3000 ft of old super 8 family home movies for me into HD video. Being local, I really appreciated having the opportunity to meet up with him to discuss the process. He's very easy to work with and you can tell that he loves working with film. This really helped to ease my fears about handing over my irreplaceable family memories. In the end, Oliver took great care of my film and I was very satisfied with the final product. A few years back, I did an SD transfer through a company in the US, and I was never totally happy with the colour/quality of the video. No such complaints here - the extra money to go HD was worth it. I highly recommend Oliver to anyone else who wants to transfer their film."
