The challenge

What was going wrong

Their wedding existed only on a VHS tape, alongside five other family tapes. Nobody in the family had owned a working VCR for over fifteen years, and the tapes had been stored in an unheated garage where the binder had begun to shed.

The solution

What we built

We cleaned and carefully transferred all six tapes, improved the picture and audio where possible, split the footage into labelled scenes, and delivered digital files plus a shareable private album. Their children saw the wedding footage for the first time at the anniversary party.

How we approached it

Stage 1
Assessed all six tapes for shedding and mould before playing anything
Stage 2
Cleaned the tapes to avoid further damage during transfer
Stage 3
Transferred on professional-grade equipment at the best available quality
Stage 4
Reduced tape noise and corrected the audio levels
Stage 5
Split long recordings into labelled, navigable scenes
Stage 6
Delivered digital files, a USB drive and a private family album
Stage 7
Returned all original tapes

Outcome

  • All six tapes transferred, including one thought unplayable
  • Footage shown at the anniversary party
  • Their children saw the wedding footage for the first time
  • Relatives in four states can now watch it online
“We had assumed it was gone for good. Watching my parents dancing — both of whom have since passed — was the best gift anybody could have given us.”
Tony and Carla D., Clifton
