Our Films Were Copied Years Ago—And It Cost a Fortune!
In this video, you’ll see a side-by-side comparison of two film transfers. On the left is a transfer done years ago by another company and copied to DVD, while on the right is the same film, transferred by us directly from the original reels. If your family once used a cine camera, this might interest you. Many customers come to us with old VHS tapes or DVDs of family films, asking to move them to a modern format. I always ask if the original reels are still stored away, as working directly from the film gives far better results. For this transfer, we cleaned and scanned the original reels, enhancing them with advanced video editing techniques similar to those used by major studios. The result captures 53% more of the film’s image, with stabilized playback, richer colors, and sharper details. If you’ve had your films transferred in the past, it might be time to revisit them. Get in touch to bring your family memories to life with the care and quality they deserve.

There was lots of copper wiring and copper nails in the woodwork, with permission I stripped a lot out and made myself some money. I can still remember the overriding smell of fish in everything you touched mixed with a dirty black smokey smell. soon after the remains quickly disappeared.

    Very nice! I've read many books regarding the Vietnam War, some of which were written by Naval Aviatiors and Naval Flight Officers (Naval Flight Officers are aircrew, but not pilots). Although I'm familiar with operations on the flight deck, it was nice to see what those staterooms really looked like and how cramped they were. In many of the books, they talk about them buying all the new stereo-equipment that they could when their carrier(s) visited Japan, and on top of one of the cupboards, you can see such a stereo. This made it all come to life for me, so thank you so much for sharing it here on youtube!

    A brilliant archive of local history. Thomas Storey were based in Stockport and this footage was recorded on Edgeley reservoirs with Sykes bleach works (demolished in the 1980's) in the background and Stockport County's football ground in the distance in the other direction. In the film "A bridge too far " about the battle around Arnhem in WWII , Michael Caine's character described the Bailey Bridge as " that engineering marvel which is the envy of the civilised world " and that is a spot on observation.

  • @Belma0000
    @Belma0000 7 місяців тому

    This video is incredible for me. Thomas Storey was a world class bridge constructor at the time of this film, and an incredible innovator with inventions such as the uniflotes shown in the film. They gained the exclusive global rights for building Bailey Bridges and also employed Bailey himself as a consultant. The company had several sites in Stockport including Brinksway and Tiviot Dale, not far from where this footage has been filmed. The actual location of this demonstration is on the reservoirs at Edgeley, close to the Stockport County football ground - which is visible in the background of some of the shots by way of its tall floodlight towers. Also visible are Sykes bleach works with its 333 feet tall chimney (all demolished and replaced by houses), St Mark’s Church (now demolished), Alexandra Park playground, Dale St and Berlin Road among many other local places. Seeing the helicopter land at the start of this film has solved a mystery for me. I’ve found many historical photographs of Skyes works and chimney - one of which shows the helicopter. I never understood why there was a helicopter at Sykes until I watched this film. Amazing to see this area as it was many decades ago. The reservoirs are still there, as is the park and the football ground. Thanks for sharing this incredible historic artefact. It made my day.

Photo and Radar mapping. Prestrike and post strike assement, of Vietnam bombing runs. Capable of high speed low altitude runs. In prestrlke runs it took the enemy by surprise. However in the post strike runs the antiaircraft and Sam missiles were hor The Vigilante had the highest aircraft loss ratio of the Vietnam War.The Vigilante started out as a high speed Nuclear strike bomber designated A-3. The Navy switched to sub marine launched Nuclear missles and changed the Vigilantes role. Capable of near Mach 2 speeds the Vigilante held high altitude records for years. I served as a PH3 (Photographers Mate) in the photo line shop. Working on the Flight deck during launches and recoveries. It was retired in 1975. Too expensive to maintain, took up too much deck area as one of the largest carrier air frames. Also the development of high quality satellite imaging. development helped seal its fate. Some examples survive in aircraft museums.
