New Movie Transfer Equipment

Our newly acquired Tobin TVT-8 Video Transfer equipment is available for use by the public in Regular 8mm and Super 8mm versions. These remarkable devices are easier to use and produce sharper, steadier pictures. Threading of film is automatic through the film gate. Exposure correction and focusing are also automatic. No intermediate mirrors or lenses are necessary; images go direct from film to video sensor for finest integrity and resolution.

Do-It-Yourself Applications

In addition to the popular media studio services (like transferring film to video, adding music to videos, creating video scrapbooks, etc.) the Peggy Kelly Media Arts Studios include a portrait studio, video editing and more! See the fee schedule and cost comparisons listed below. Call 612-915-6602 to make an appointment or to obtain more information.

What will my media project cost?

·        Transfer Movies to VHS or DVD

Transfer those movies today before they are lost to age. 8mm, Super 8mm, l6mm film transferred to VHS or DVD. We’ll get you started!  It’s easier than you think!

How many 8mm films can be transferred in one hour? 7 to 9 three-inch reels of film (50 ft. per reel) or 4 five-inch reels of film (200 ft. per reel) or 2 seven inch reels of film (400 ft. per reel). Do-it-yourself price = $20 per hour. Compare at 10-to-15 cents per foot when you have a commercial studio do this for you. You provide the labor and pocket the savings.

·        Make a Video Album from Photos and Slides

Transfer your photographs or slides to CD's or DVD's then add titles, music or narration to your collection of fond memories. This is very easy to do.   We estimate you can record 80 to 100 slides or pictures per hour. Do-it yourself price = $20 per hour. Compare at 75 cents to $1.50 per slide when you have a commercial studio do this for you. You provide the labor and pocket the savings.
