Manny did a meticulous job of turning my genealogy binders into digital binders. It was tedious work with different media on each page but he stuck with it and completed the job. read more

Such a pleasure working with Emmanuel! He has such a positive attitude and does quality work. He converted several 8mm video tapes to digital of my boys when they were babies. My boys are in their late 20s and were not able to come home for Christmas this year as they both work in the medical field. This was my husband's best Christmas gift. I uploaded the videos on my private YouTube channel for a special gift for my boys and they loved them! read more

He did a spectacular job with super old slides taken back in the in the 50s I was able to put them on a digital drive so it could be shared amongst the family read more

I needed to convert some old hi-8 video cassettes, like the kind that was typical for home use in the 90's and 2000's, to digital files. Videos of birthday parties, Christmas, etc. Emmanuel explained to me how he would do it & answered all of my questions. A few days later I had the files on two USB drives! His studio is capable of much, much more than this project, but this is what I needed done. He was happy to help me and made sure I left satisfied. Five star experience. read more

Manny!!! He was so wonderful to work with. Fast turn around, great quality. You can tell he truly loves what he does and it shows. Highly recommend. read more

Personalized service by Emmanuel whose courtesy, patience, knowledge, wisdom, reasonable costs, experience and dependability are hallmarks to his successful business. I can honestly say he's a friend after perhaps 9 years of duplicating my music CDs. read more

We have had the good fortune to use A&E for several projects, including a video compiled with music and photos for my father's memorial service. We have also had smaller work converting dvds into digital formats. The prices have been incredibly reasonable, but more importantly, the work product has been exceptional. A&E spends time understanding what your objectives are and rises to that occasion. My family and I will continue to use them. The turn around is quick and they have deep respect and appreciation for these captured moments in our lives. read more

WOW! What an amazing man Emanuel of A&E Productions. My expectations were far exceeded on this project. My Dad , now deceased, recorded numerous Recordings on VHS tapes. The tapes were left on a shelf and never viewed By family. I recently found A&E through Reviews listed on his Web page. Fast forward, the tapes have been masterfully and professionally digitized and edited, through many hours, by Emanuel and his trust worthy well coached amateur editor, me,. This is the utmost family reunion documentary and will be used to revitalize and strengthen our family ties. This documentary will be one of the cornerstones of our family for years to come. If you're not convinced by this Yelp review. And you proceed elsewhere, Just know that you just settled. He's the World's best Video /Audio production Personnel in the World. Bar None!!!! read more

Emmanuel did a great job of converting a 40 year old Super 8 with sound. He was a pleasure to work with and while the material was technically challenging (poor cinematography and sound) he managed to make a great video. I recommend his shop for any similar video conversions. read more

I did some business with Emmanuel for my upcoming book "A Speck of Dust". I loved talking to him on the phone. I loved talking to him both times, I met him in person. I felt like I'd known him for years. He did a great job with my scans. Also, he has a very sophisticated set of equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars, because he believes in investing in his business. Also, he is extremely well connected here in America. Also, he showed me photos of the developments in Cameroon and believe you me, the photos he showed me make America look like a shithole! Also, he's one a really nice guy, with a really kind heart. I recommend no one but him in the greater Sacramento region - radius 50 miles for scanning, model photography, family photography etc. Jasbinder Singh. read more

Emmanuel is a top-notch professional with a big heart. I contacted him after my dad died and I needed to covert a couple interviews I had of my dad on VCR to a digital format. I tried doing the conversion myself with a unit I purchased on Amazon. Of course, you get what you pay for and the quality was terrible. Emmanuel knew that my mom and I wanted to use the videos for my dad's Celebration of Life service and we didn't have much time so he saw us the same day and did the work on the spot. The videos came out great--he has high quality equipment and took he the time to help me edit them. I give him my highest recommendation for quality and service. Thank you, Emmanuel! You are a gem! read more

I cannot say enough about A&E and Emmanuel; he walked me through everything I was inquiring about digitizing my 8mm films and delivered as expected and on the day he promised. A+ service!!! read more

Emmanuel did an excellent job digitizing my very old, worn out 8mm family film. The reels are nearly 60 years old and he managed to make them look amazing. He cares about his customers and takes pride in his work and it shows in the final product. Also, I recommend buying the flash drive that he sells because I brought my own and ended up returning mine and buying his because he uses a quality brand that performs better. Highly recommend A&E Productions! read more

A & E did a outstanding job for creating a memorial slideshow video to be used at my loved ones service. Emmanuel really cares about the quality of his work and created a beautiful piece. He communicated with me via email after i brought in the original images,- he always responded quickly and the turn-around time of the project was just a few days. price was fair too. I heartily recommend A & E! read more

Emmanuel provides exceptional service and quality. He is a top level professional. He digitized hundreds of hours of video for us and was fast and fair. Would use him again anytime. read more

Took an old cracked photo to get digitally restored, but the completed work was only ok. For the cost of the job, I expected much better results especially after he discussed the meticulous and high quality work that he does. There were still light cracks showing in the restored photo. Also had some 8x10 photos scanned only. The cost of the scans were pretty high. Since I was pressed for a deadline, I went ahead and had him do the work. Some of the photos were not the original size and the sides were cropped. I ended up using my HP printer and scanned the photos at 600 DPI to achieve the same results of the full 8x10 photos. I was told how long it would take to complete the work but he finished the job very quickly and gave me the files sooner than expected. If you are not pressed for a deadline, I recommend taking your time to research other places and make sure you get what you want. read more

TERRIBLE, narcissistic man who talks you into things you don't want, he promises the moon and does not deliver. Says things and back tracks. CHARGES WAY TO MUCH FOR SHITTY WORK. Vignetting of his lens on your film HAIRS ALL OVER YOUR FINISHED FILM. Does not return email, yells at you in emails. CYA. STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!!!!!! Says he's professional but he doesn't even know how to be professional, been working for 26 years but delivers shotty work, so if you want non usable film and pay an arm and leg, go here. His shitty work says a lot about him. Hairy, dusty, dirty, shaky, terrible quality. Ask around and do your homework, check with photography associations, different professional digital places, check there work, ask to bring home there work so you can see for yourself, look CLOSE UP NOT 6 feet away at 3 " film. BEWARE!!! Don't let his fake 5 stars reviews fool you!!!!!!! He will nickel and dime you to death. read more

I was so happy to find a company that could repair a cassette tape for me. My older daughter is turning 40 the end of May and I found the cassette that I had made when she was just a baby. Emanuel was able to repair the tape and make a copy as well as downloading it onto a thumb drive. I was so excited to hear my Mom's voice talking to my daughter and I was crying when I heard it. My Mom passed away in 2015 and to hear her voice again meant to so much. I am excited to give this to my daughter for her 40th birthday. A & E Digital Emanuel made my day and would recommend his company to anyone who needs a reliable company to help with their digital/video needs. read more

He has produced DVDs for both my parents memorial services. He does excellent work. I will be having him transfer 8 mm and slides to DVD, too. read more

To celebrate my wife's 75th birthday, I employed Emmanuel Bernard (Director/Cinematographer/Photographer) to make a video retrospective of her life. I gave him bags of photographs, home movies, songs, and video clips from family and friends wishing her happy birthday, and I went away not knowing how the video would turn out, but hoping for the best. We stayed in constant communication while he worked, and I quickly came to realize that I had found the right guy for the job. I have met anyone who enjoys his work more than Mr. Bernard, or who works harder to get every detail right. Ordinarily, the pursuit of perfection does not end well, as perfections tend not to finish what they start. Mr. Bernard is a happy exception. He harnesses a powerful work ethic to the quest for perfection, and he labors tirelessly until the job is done. He invited me to participate in the final editing, and I got to spend several hours watching him work his magic. I had no idea how complicated and demanding editing is, and I am in awe of how good Mr. Bernard is at it. I got to witness how passionate he is about his work. He does whatever it takes and refuses to move on until he gets things exactly right. I am thrilled with the video Mr. Bernard made of my wife's life. It's superb -- professional work of the highest quality. I couldn't be happier, and I will always be grateful. For anyone in need of Mr. Bernard's services, my message is simple: He has my highest recommendation. James H. Jones, Ph.D. Sacramento, CA read more

Emmanuel is awesome! He knows his stuff and helps everyone out! He is capable of turning around projects 24-48 hours!! Thank you so much! read more

I came to Emanuel for help in putting together a Christmas DVD of my niece and nephew for a lot of my family members. It came out exactly they way I wanted it to. I had a lot of clips from my I-Phone and camcorder that I needed organized and edited. The editing and suggestions he made helped me with the vision for how I wanted it laid out. He was pressed with a lot of other projects and was still able to get this completed for me by the day I needed it. He definitely takes pride in what he does and you can tell he loves his work. If you are looking for quality, he is your guy and at a reasonable price. He may not be the cheapest but you get what you pay for. I would recommend him from here on out for all DVD/edting of home videos and other projects I have later on for him. Tribute video to my 2002 Trans AM WS6 is the next project I have for him. read more

Emmanuel did a great job getting me a projector screen, and even gave me a Sac state discount!

I had items converted from VHS to DVD's, and Thumb Drives, I was very pleased! Excellent customer service, estimate on point, job completed on time. Very professional! I will use them again, and recommend them to all! read more

Emmanuel is the best! I had a tape from my childhood that I brought to him. Half of the tape was from Europe and the other half was from the US. He worked on converting my tape for 12 hours! He kept me updated on the whole process and didn't charge me an extra penny. I would recommend him 100%! You won't be disappointed! I appreciate his hard work so much. It means so much to me that I am able to have my childhood memories converted to a digital file and am able to enjoy them. Thank you again Emmanuel. read more

Emmanuel created a fabulous slide show for me for my husband's 50th birthday celebration. He suggested that I send him voice messages from loved ones to incorporate into the show, which made it very personal and emotional. It was the hit of the evening and I now have a keepsake of our life together that will last forever! I highly recommend A&E! Thank you Emmanuel! read more

A&E Digital Productions is definitely your one stop shop for all of your media needs. Emmanuel is excellent at his trade as his great passion and love for what he does shines through in the finished product that he provides. He is diverse and multi-faceted and I am amazed of all that he is capable of doing. The quality of his work is highly professional and I highly recommend him! And he is so close, right here in Sacramento! What a Jewel!!! read more

I had old film converted as a Christmas gift. Everything was completed so fast! I was very happy with the experience and service.

Experienced, professional, and attention to detail that is second to none. A master artist!

Manny is incredible and the best in the business!!! Over 15 years ago my wife moved from Buenos Aires to San Jose, California.She brought with her treasures of her life VHS tapes and audio cassettes. In 2009 we hired Manny and his late brother Patrick. He did a stunning job! I kept in close touch with him.When we decided to put all of Elena's things into the Cloud, we contacted Manny again to put all of her remaining memories on DVD's. We went to see him in person in Sacramento. His studio is modern and well-equipped. He spent part of a Saturday afternoon working with us. In person we found him warm, friendly, very honest, and very professional. When his work came back to us early this week, we were most pleased. This is you"go to" for audio and visual conversions as well as photography assignments and short videos. read more

This is the place you need to go for all your picture & filming. Emmanuel is amazing with his film editing skills! Truly a joy working with him in his studio on a video that I needed made with existing pics & film. I learned a lot about the basics in the industry. The quality, honesty & integrity are all there. Hands down the best in the Sacramento area. read more

I recently contacted Emmanuel on a client project video with a short fuse deadline I was almost sure he would not be able to meet. Much to my surprise and satisfaction, he put is entire focus, energy, passion for what he does and highly developed skill set into meeting those needs within my extreme deadline. He didn't come up for air until the extensive video editing was completed and I left with exactly the content I needed for my client and the well designed packaging that made for a well branded client DVD that met and exceeded needs and my expectations. I highly recommend Emmanuel and his company, A&E Digital Productions and look forward to working with him on my next project. Mike Pieretti, The Pieretti Creative Team LLC. read more

My husband and I needed a "Celebration of Life" slideshow for my late Mother's Memorial and had no idea where to go. By luck we found Emmanuel and his company A&E DIGITAL PRODUCTIONS, LLC through his very informative website. We went to his studio in Sacramento with our pictures, some of which were between 50 and 80 years old, and in a very short amount of time and for a very reasonable price, he produced a beautiful slideshow that everyone in attendance both loved and applauded. We highly recommend Emmanuel to anyone who is looking for a creative professional who will go the extra mile to make sure that you're happy with the results. Joy B. read more

Emmanuel was great in working with us, a local nonprofit (Sacramento Valley Returned Peace Corps Association). He added special touches to our videos and was very accommodating with our lack of funding as a nonprofit. You can check out his work at our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzIRQ6rdDMtPYVn_aEuWEgg?view_as=subscriber read more

We had Emanuel put together a large slide show for my Grandmas funeral that had a total of 169 pictures in it. We had a lot of old black and white photos with poor quality. He worked very hard to get a good quality for us in very short amount of time. The family was really impressed with the slide show. We have several other projects that we will be having him do. I highly recommend him for any digital projects. He showed me some of his other work he has done and it was amazing! read more

After contacting several places I decided to go with this local, privately owned small business. I always think quality and service is usually better dealing directly with the owner and I like supporting my community. I was not wrong, Emanuel is honest, friendly and professional. The quality of my 1958-50 8mm film to DVD conversion was so well done and in a short turn around time. The price is comparable if not less and it was worth driving 40 minutes to have him handle my priceless film! read more

Thanks for the help with my project of taking my analog music and putting it in a digital form so that I could have CD's to pass out to family and friends. Thanks also for taking the time to look at the old music reels so we can work on turning them into a usable format in the future. I am so happy with how everything has turned out so far. It was a great experience and I look forward to future music projects with you. This project was so important to me and I could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks. Denise H. read more

Emmanuel very competently transferred over 100 of my old DVD and VHS family films made up to 30 years ago to a 2 Tb external drive, for long-term storage. I was then able to copy this drive to other 2 Tb drives and give them to my children as gifts. This had been a project I had intended to do for several years, knowing that particularly the VHS tapes would deteriorate and I would lose all the family films. Emmanuel did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. read more

Emmanuel did an awesome job digitizing our 30 year old VHS wedding video!! He works magic in his studio. It looks better than the original!! read more

No words can describe how awesome this place is. Emanuel is one of a kind and will exceed your expectations. He is the BEST in the business!! This is not your average place. read more
