| OPTIONAL FEATURES |
| "DIRECTORS CUT" VIDEO EDITING SERVICE |
Do you want to impress your relatives with a Hollywood-style project?
Sounds like you need our "Directors Cut" Video Editing Service!
After we transfer your films onto our editing system, you'll sit with us and become the director, calling the shots (no pun
intended!) and telling us what you want to keep, what you want out, and in what order you want it placed. You can even
choose what music you want to use, and create title screens or captions to go in specific locations.
This service is performed at our facility in Walden, NY.

DVD transfers include:
| ONLY $35.00/hr! |
| In order to produce the highest quality output, we transfer a maximum of TWO hours of footage onto VHS tape or DVD |
| ARE YOUR VALUABLE MOVIE MEMORIES PILED IN A BOX? |
| While we take every precaution to protect and preserve your films, we cannot assume responsibility for film that is given to us in poor condition. |
When we receive your films we do the following:
1. Log each reel into a project database. We record as much information as possible (date, title,
anything we can read).
2. Inspect and clean the film. Every reel of film is inspected for damage (rips, bad splices) and
repaired. We then apply a non-abrasive cleaning solution that not only removes years of gunk,
but also restores the film to a pliable condition so that it will run smoothly through our projection
system.
3. Sequence the reels. We put them into date order, as long as we can find or read the date. If
you have already numbered the reels, we will use that ordering scheme.
Everything you give to us - canisters, reels, boxes - are returned to you, along with your
cleaned film on the master reels.
Once the film is transferred onto our editing system we do the following:
1. Edit out blank or poor quality footage. Anything that is considered "un-viewable", such as over-
exposed, totally black or totally white, or extremely blurry footage is removed during the editing
process. As a rule, we try to edit very cautiously - if we can make out a face or scene we will
leave it in. Chances are you or someone else will recognize that portion of the footage!
2. Perform basic brightness/contrast adjustments. We see quite a bit of footage that is very dark
or very washed out. We will do our best to improve the quality of the footage, but it is a difficult
process.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT FILM RECORDING BACK IN THOSE DAYS WAS MUCH CRUDER
THAN THE AMAZING TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE TODAY, SO THE QUALITY OF THE FOOTAGE IS
GOING TO BE WHAT IT IS. WE CAN PERFORM ONLY SO MANY MIRACLES!
