I am so happy to be able to review Hollywood Photo Scanning! I've had boxes of family photos for…read moremany years and had always wanted to organize them. My assistant found Hollywood Photo Scanning thanks to Yelp (here's a shout-out to this platform) and after researching other places, said this should be our go-to place. Am I grateful that he led me here! Tony is incredible - patient, organized, and empathetic. It's a lot to go through getting old pictures organized and I figured the cost and enormity of the project would overwhelm me. A phone call or two with Tony where he offered me options and really fair pricing made the process doable and simple. He's been in business for years and his company knows exactly what they're doing. All my pictures were scanned, organized, and cleaned up in the scanning process so they look better than ever. Tony's attention to detail, his concern for the client, and his willingness to help go beyond the call of duty. If every business ran this well, this would be one incredible world. If you have important photos you want organized and saved, this is the place to go. They have services beyond just photo scanning so definitely give them a call and get your job done BEAUTIFULLY!!!

Absolutely incredible service! I highly recommend Hollywood Photo Scanning to anyone with a huge…read morecollection of photos. Before I called these guys, I thought having scanning done was going to be a complex task but they made it so easy. I had everything digitized from my family's old photo collection and also from my wife's family. Some of the prints date back to the 1940s. They did an astonishing job with all of my negatives, slides, and prints. They took the prints out of my old photo albums, scanned and put them back in the exact chronological order they were already in, just as though they had never been touched by anybody. Additionally, they did a great job packaging and condensing my other scanned loose prints and film into separate bags. They individually labeled each archived bag (which they provided for free) by group, indicating which digital folder names the photos were scanned into. When I received all our original photos back, they made it so I was able to put the perfectly organized boxes they provided directly into our garage, repackaged for long-term storage. Since we now have the digital scans of them, which look way better than the originals, there is no reason I can see the need to access any of the original photos or film again. However, I still don't have the heart to throw them out, so I'm glad they were able to really free up some space for me in how they returned everything. The quality of images left my whole family speechless. They images are very sharp and clean. Even displayed on my full screen tv, they look like they were taken on a high quality digital camera, if one existed decades ago. It's amazing how the color corrections (a service I added on) came out so well on my older photos. I'm seeing my childhood (that I thought took place in a red and orange world), in incredible natural but vivid color. I am very grateful for their generous and friendly customer service as well. I haven't encountered this level of customer service anywhere else in as long as I can remember. A big thanks to the whole crew over there for their excellent work digitizing my family's history. I'm so glad I went with them.

I'm a huge believer in Yelp. I have used it multiple times, all with great success, and my latest…read morevictory was finding Periscope Film. I start Yelp searches in the following order: 1. Ratings 2. Location 3. Website. I accumulated a list of about 10 companies; needed approx 20 reels of very old (1950s-1970s) film (35mm, 16mm, 8mm & Super 8mm) to be converted "for modern day usage." Using my system above, I chose Periscope Film - first, I liked that the word "film" is in their company name and that one of the owners went to USC Film School. Thus, I believed they would be the best for this project. I was not disappointed. Co-owner Nick returned my message very quickly & gave a quote which I felt was fair for the volume of work. He said it would take a couple of weeks due to work load...but it actually was only a few days for turnaround! He also put up with my limited knowledge/skills in technology & explained items that were outside the scope of the job..that in & of itself was priceless! Very professional work in a casual setting due to Covid. I highly recommend this company, and would absolutely use them again if the need arose.

I discovered Periscope Films on YouTube. Their transfers of old training films and commercials hit…read morea nostalgic spot for me. I then saw a 'behind the scenes' video of their work to save a giant film archive. Seeing their passion and set up made me reach out. Nick Spark replied immediately to my email. I had a handful of Super 8 and 16mm films I made early in my career and wanted them digitized. The process was seamless, easy and fast. Plus the cost was very fair. Nick not only provided a company drive to deliver the files when my provided drive turned out to be a tad too small (I was getting the files in 4K). All in all I highly recommend Periscope, not only for the transfer facilities but also for their extensive film archive of transferred materials available for licensing. Give them a call.

I highly recommend Hollywood Audio Video Transfer House and Notary and Live Scan!…read more I originally found them because I needed to get my fingerprints done for school. They were super close to my house, had great reviews, and were very convenient, so I decided to stop by. When I got there, I was pleasantly surprised to realize they also specialize in audio and video transfers. The timing felt almost divine because literally the day before, I had told myself that I needed to finally get some old VHS tapes transferred to digital! The entire experience was great. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and their prices were very affordable. My fingerprints were done quickly and easily, and I came back the very next day with my VHS tapes. I dropped the tapes off on a Friday, and everything was already finished and ready for me by Monday morning. The turnaround was so much faster than I expected. Such a great local business. Professional, friendly, affordable, and quick. I'm so glad I randomly stumbled across them and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

So I Googled digitizing service near me and this place came up. I contacted them and spoke to Rudy…read moreand found out that to take a VHS over to a memory stick or a DVD would be twenty dollars. Sounded fair to me. I paid $20 for the VHS that I was trying to have done and had ordered a VHS machine because the one that we got here at the house was looking weird like with snow running across the screen remember back in the day you used to have to adjust the tracking sometimes and then it would clear up I couldn't find that option on our machine here at the house so I ended up ordering another one and then that one arrived busted through shipping but I didn't realize it was busted until after it ate my tape and at that point my wife ordered me another VHS tape of what I wanted through eBay and I knew working in there I was going to try and get it converted over. Couple days ago I took in my tape they gave me a quote right then and there which was a little bit more than what they had told me on the phone but they told me why, my wife is telling me I call bullshit for this that or the other reason and I'm like you know what it doesn't matter if it happens and it works for that price I'm happy because trying to find places to play a VHS to do a class is what I'm trying to do a Billiards class is more difficult than with a DVD or a memory stick on a computer so it's fine. The staff there was very courteous and straight to the point. I will find out Monday if they are able to do it for me because there are some type of encoding that they put on the tapes at times and some of it is unbreakable so we will see Monday if they are able to make mine work the tape the VHS itself is about 40 years old. So that's another reason to modernize it. Anyways I would recommend this place.

My 95-year-old mother was eager to see the commercials we created together, but they were stored on outdated 1990s VCR tapes that she hadn't seen in years. And when I finally found the VCR in storage, I decided that moment to immediately find a transfer VCR service to digital that day before I either lose the VRC tapes or again just put it on my "To Do List". I researched several local VCR transfer companies and the found the company to do the this important work. Sam is an exceptional expert in his field--meticulous, attentive to detail, and incredibly helpful. Working with him was a truly pleasant experience because he personally manages every aspect of the VCR transfer process from start to finish and ensuring the preservation of picture quality and audio clarity. Unlike other companies that handle VCR transfers, which tend to be impersonal with staff members working behind the scenes, Sam offers direct, face-to-face interaction and takes the time to understand my specific needs and concerns. This personal touch was a major reason I chose to trust him, knowing my mother's irreplaceable memories were in good hands. Moreover, his genuine thoughtfulness and unwavering dedication to helping my beloved 95-year-old mother preserve her precious memories made the entire process even more meaningful. Mama-san just cried tears of happiness when she saw the digital transfer on my cell phone. It was a priceless moment of connection and nostalgia between a 95-year-old mother and her 72-year-old daughter.
