Nathaniel and Laura did an incredible job!
I first tried digitizing my family's Super8 reels with a Wolverine machine. It was time consuming and the quality was terrible. (I wasn't expecting it to be good, but I wasn't expecting it to be so bad, either.) Next I tried a local shop and, even though they charged about the same amount as FilmFix, the quality wasn't as good as I knew it could be. I happened across FilmFix.com as I was searching for a good description of what I wanted. I showed some of FilmFix's blog posts to the local company but they lacked the expertise and equipment to deliver similar results.
So I sent my reels to FilmFix and I'm so glad I did. They did a great job of communicating with me. Laura let me know the moment they received the reels and that they were in good shape. She also sent kind, personalized emails keeping me updated. It couldn't have been better.
The quality of the transfer was exactly what I had been looking for. I worked in video production while I was in college and I know enough to tell that Nathaniel does very thorough work, paying close attention to each scene during the capture and the post-production work (color grading, image stabilization etc.). All this work is captured in a file format that preserves the image without overly lossy compression. They provide the raw transfer files as well so I can tinker with them all I want.
I'm so glad I found FilmFix. They are very passionate about what they do and it shows in the quality of their work and in their customer service. I can't imagine better results or a better experience.

8mm Film Transfer Expert
Simplify - get your films in a "grab and go" format! We transfer 8mm or Super 8 films onto a handy USB stick (or hard drive.)
Hello, I'm Nathaniel. My wife Laura and I are FilmFix — a two person team.
I am the technical expert with a degree in motion picture and photography, from Brooks Institute, Santa Barbara, CA.
First, your 8mm film will be inspected and carefully cleaned. Then, I'll convert it — from start to finish. These days, most all our customers request that digital files be delivered onto a hard drive or USB stick. However, we can put your transfer on a DVD or Blu-ray disc, if you really prefer that.
While staying local is nice, sometimes it's in your best interest to expand further and find the professional experts who specialize in this sort of transfer. Transferring 8mm film -- the right way -- is highly technical and it requires specialized, pricey equipment.
We're very glad you found us! Let us show you why we have a stellar reputation. Shall we get started on a reasonably-priced estimate?
