A lifelong geek
I’ve been a video nerd since I was in the video club in high school. I’ve always had some extra camera gear and spent time messing with photos and videos in my adult life. In going through some of my family’s things I came across a number of old VHS and Hi8 tapes and decided that it was time to digitize those memories. The happiness and pleasure that it brought my family to see those old videos again released from those old tapes was fantastic and I rather enjoyed the process. So, I’ve turned it into a side-gig for me to help others while making some extra cash.
Right now, I can convert old school VHS tapes, VHS-C tapes, Hi-8 tapes, and Digital 8 tapes. If you have other tapes or media that you would like digitized let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
I’ve edited countless corporate videos, various slideshows for family gatherings (weddings, graduations, funerals, etc.), and generally spend a lot of time working on photography and videography. In other words, this isn’t my first rodeo…
Since this is my side gig I can process only a couple of tapes per day. Most jobs take one to two weeks depending on the number of tapes to convert. If you need a rush on all or part of your order please also let me know as I’m sure we can figure something out.
For now, all of my services are for the greater Twin Cities area only. I’d like to gain some traction in this business before dealing with logistics of shipping tapes.
