History
Established in 1992.
Since it's inception in 1992, all work has been done on the premises of Classic Conversions and has not been sent to any outside subsidiary or subcontractors.
With careful attention to detail, our standard procedure has been to carefully chronicle, repair, and restore photos, slides, and/or film footage to master files (on dv tape and our hard drives) just prior to their digital transfer. Everything is arranged in sequential order, with specialized treatment of intro titles, transitional effects, and matching music (the latter either from our own audio library or CD's provided on loan by the client).
Unlike the assembly line-like appearance of many of our competitor's end product, our goal has always been to combine quality visual presentations with appropriate matching music and sound - that not only help enliven the subject matter, but also recapture the mood and atmosphere of that particular period of time... where the past is made to come alive once again in the present moment.
