e-mail sent from my kertiscreative address.

Let me know how my price sounds and if there's anything else I can do for you.

I'm looking to avoid 12 hours of travel (and the client is looking to avoid paying for 12 hours of travel!) Easy shoot but you must have HD camera, decent audio and lighting. No editing - just shooting.

Thanks!

Got my shooters, need someone to man some DSLRs and help wrangle cords.

Or you could hire a light guy in Atlanta that has the equipment. Most light guys have that kit. If not you can try the following places.

PC&E
Day 1 Productions
North Druid AV

I have Googled like crazy and have had no luck yet.

I have relatives in Charlotte, NC who have some old home movie films that I need to get transferred to digital video -- not DVD, I want the digital files on hard drives -- for a family documentary project.

Do you know anyone who does this kind of transfer in Charlotte? My aunt is leery of letting the films out of her sight so I'm pressed to keep this job local to her area.

I will check this thread for replies but you can also contact me directly at johnmcq@hotmail.com.

That's pretty specialized work, and I think it's going to be very hard to find someone local to do that.

These guys may be worth a shot:

About - The Film Foundry

If I'm not mistaken, these are the same people who used to do business as Post Central and I remember them having a telecine and doing 35mm transfers. If they can't do it, they may be able to at least point you somewhere else.

Good luck! If you happen to talk to a guy named Rick Eldridge there, tell him I said hello... :P

Our consumer half of the company does 8mm and 16mm film transfer. Digital frame-by-frame transfer. We're in Atlanta but have people send us stuff from all over the country. All work is done in house and we keep a backup copy "just in case" but we've never had one lost. We've been doing film transfer now for over 5 years. Give us a call at 877-VIDEO60 or check out our website at Georgia Videographer, Video Production in Atlanta, Videography

Thanks,
Rick

Try Cinepost - High quality telecine, 8mm film and 16mm film transfer, DVD authoring design and Surround Sound Mixing. This is the website for a Georgia based S8 transfer house called CinePost that I've used in the past. They can do DV transfers with hard drive backups.

[John McQuiston]

Thank you for the replies.

I don't think I'm going to be able to get the films sent away from Charlotte. If I could, there are companies local to me who do transfers, which is why I am surprised to have trouble finding someone in the Queen City who does it.

The wedding is in Stockton. I live in Citrus Heights and we can travel together. My wife has been my second shooter, but she won't be able to attend. I need someone with experience.

Including travel, count on an 8 hour day.

The Pay is $250

If you want to use your own camera, it must be a 3 chip camera. I shoot SD on mini DV so yours must be compatible. If you use your own camera with a light, the Pay will be $300 instead of $250

Tim,

Did you get my email? Haven't heard back, just wanted to confirm.

[Tim Harjo]

Yes, thanks! I sent you a reply earlier today.

[Rob Morse]

Create-a-Video in Charlotte does transfers. I had a bunch of 16 mm transferred to DVD.

Rob, thank you.

Are you happy with the results? How do the DVDs look?
