Also the fact that they sell vintage photo albums is very cool and anti Big Cloud. They do complimentary low res scans if you order prints. I always like to do a matte finish with white borders and it always comes out beautifully when Underdog processes them. The workers here are extremely kind. They are really the glue that holds this place together and they deserve their flowers. I never feel rushed when I'm placing my orders and they take the time to make sure you get all your film negatives and prints from the back and they also happy to give advice when you ask them. There's cool stickers, a cute secondhand clothing rack, and tons of photo books to peruse. Overall the space has a cool community vibe to it with its anti AI signage and fliers for local shows. I feel safe here. It's $20 for standard resolution jpeg scans, which I feel is the norm across the bay. The turnaround is fast. Sometimes I get scans the next day but mostly within 3 days or so. I don't mind the wait, refreshing my email in anticipation of the scans is part of the fun of this hobby.

I brought my baby along each time I went and they even kindly kept her entertained while I reviewed proofs.

When Candela does a proof print, I am always delighted at how well it matches what I'm seeing on my monitor.

So much knowledge and willingness to share information, I really appreciate them for doing that. I went back to purchase a few things today from them - Bri (not sure if that is the correct spelling) served me and she was excellent, even arranging a delivery for me that same day as the Foamcores were a little to large for my car.

It was my first attempt at trying to do so, so having someone with previous experience and the right equipment was invaluable. Dan Williams put together a reasonable proposal with a 2-camera person team, showed up for an on-site survey the week before the event to figure out what lenses and camera angles to use, and came with his team to shoot on the holiday evening. He also helped put titles on each of the speakers and adding transition slides between each part of event.

In retrospect, we learned: 1) use AT&T/Verizon LTE data wireless service instead of trying to install Comcast/AT&T Uverse (Uverse is insufficent for upload bandwidth, and Comcast is problematic if you have no cabling in the complex) along with a Pepllink router to avoid streaming over WiFi. 2) Rely on Studio B for the camera shooting (make sure to give them 1920x1080 JPG slides for any transition slides) 3) bring a USB v3.0 1TB hard drive so you can get the footage after the event. 4) Just start your live streaming on the time of the event instead of 15 minutes before hand. 5) If you are streaming any type of copyrighted music, Facebook will flag and actually detect what songs you are playing. You must override the default controls if you are using the music for fair use. Thank you Studio B for helping with this event!

THIS MAN IS A TRUE ARTIST…read more My grandfather was a picture framer. I know a lot about picture framing. I am elderly and have many pieces of fine art. I have been to many, many wonderful picture framers in my life. They have really done fine work. However, in my long life I have never seen such wonderful work as Rodolfo does. He has the eye of a true artist. His attention to detail is incredible. I brought him a painting that was 100 years old. The job he did is just beautiful. From the frame, the mat, and the glass look really wonderful. I could write much more about how gorgeous is store is, but suffice it to say that anyone who comes here will really be impressed. His prices are surprising affordable. I urge you to bring your framing needs to him. In addition, he is one of the nicest, kindest people I have met in my long life. A true gentleman.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Audio Video Workshop and the incredible work Scott and…read moreRita did for us! My brother recently found some of my parents' old 8mm films tucked away in the attic, and we had no idea what condition they would be in or whether we would even be able to see them again. These films are incredibly meaningful to our family, so trusting them to someone was a very big deal. From the moment I met Scott and Rita, we knew our memories were in good hands. They were both incredibly professional, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything, were completely transparent about the process, and treated these old family films with the care and respect they deserved. And the finished product was AMAZING! Seeing my parents and our family brought back to life on film was truly priceless. It was like being given a little piece of our family history back, and we will treasure these memories for years to come. Scott and Rita went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for the beautiful job they did. If you have old films, videos, photographs, or other family memories that you've been meaning to preserve, I would wholeheartedly recommend Audio Video Workshop in Redwood City. You can trust them with something that is truly irreplaceable. Thank you, Scott and Rita, for helping us preserve such precious memories of my parents and our family.

The customer service here is abysmal. I called this place 4 times in the afternoon (well after…read moreopening hours) to inquire about film processing because their website is unclear on their services. No one picked up every time, they even just sent me straight to voicemail. I end up just driving over to find the place is not busy at the slightest. They just ignore calls. I decided to make the drive out here and just talk to them in person. I've never met someone more dismissive in my life. The owner cuts off everyone who speaks to him. Right in front of me there was a sweet old woman who noticed there was a cash discount that was posted on the well after she handed over her film, she kindly asked to pay in cash for the discount and the owner told her "Nah I already typed in your order I'm not changing it." Shoo's her away after that exchange, and then says goodbye calling her by her first name. Which tells me this is a regular customer that he treats like trash. I'm next, I pull out my super 8 film and before I can even ask a question he says "nah we don't do those you have to go somewhere else" Which is fine. Not everyone processes super 8 (even though the website says they do,) which is an old medium. But the delivery and customer service were horrible. Someone should have answered the phone in the first place so I wouldn't be here "bothering" this guy on his very busy day of sitting around doing nothing. Also, This guys website shouldn't be coded/designed like a 6th grader did it, so that way the information can be clear and easy to read. Their website explicitly says "We transfer 8mm and 16mm film" which makes me believe this owner is just lazy and chooses not to work. It's sad really, the film medium is a dying industry and there are very few people who can be there to revive this medium and unfortunately this one in the Bay Area can choose to help this art form, but instead they choose to be a lazy business owner who has disdain for people who want to support his dying business. I've received better customer service from fast food chains than this place. If/when his business fails it's not because of a lack of customers or demand of services. But at the fault of a pathetic and bitter business owner who does not deserve it. To everyone reading I recommend looking for mail in film transfer. They are much more accommodating than this pathetic place.
