Why shouldn’t I bring my movies to a Big Box store, my local drugstore, or retail photo chain?

• You could. And then they ship them out to film transfer companies across the U.S., or send them to companies like us. Every time your job changes hands you have a risk of it being lost in transit. All our work is done on the premises.

Who do I talk to if I have questions about or problems with a job I dropped off at (Fill in the blank) Mart?

• We don’t have a clue.

I have an old projector and a video camera. Can’t I just project the film onto a screen and videotape it?

• Sure. With the right projector, the right camera and the right settings you might even get pretty good results. We used to do transfers exactly the same way… 25 years ago. The quality was good enough for VHS tape. Now DVDs require a much higher resolution.

What about those do-it-yourself film transfer boxes I see on ebay?

• Well, first you need a projector and a video camera. Then, when you’re done, the results are nowhere near the quality we provide. Basically, they’re just a substitute for a screen. In fact, using a screen will yield better results.

How will Stone Digital Productions transfer my films?
