Perfect, A++++ experience and I'd give 10 stars if I could. I'm so grateful to John and Z Stories…read morefor helping us to keep a cherished memory. I only have one home video of my childhood. My uncle brought a big ass camcorder to my brother's baptism in 1991, and all of us were fascinated by the camera and had never seen one before. It's the only recording of my brothers and I as children and of my dad who has since passed away. When I started hearing about VHS digitizing services, I was super reluctant to mail the only copy to a stranger, especially after how many stories there are about these people losing photos or videos. I started seeing Z Stories advertise in my neighborhood Facebook groups and with tables at local Burbank events. I loved that they were local, I didn't have to ship my video far away, and the reviews were impeccable. I texted the owner, John, to find out more about their services and he seemed more than happy to take an order of just one tape. He gave me different options for submitting the tape (they even deliver and pick up locally!) and I ended up dropping the tape off at A Express Mail in Burbank, for Z Stories to pick up. When we had tried the tape on our VCR at home, the sound cut in and out and there was static and blue squares over a lot of the picture. I was worried that maybe I'd waited to long to digitize a 35-year-old tape before it deteriorated. John picked the tape up within an hour of me dropping it off and texted me with updates and questions (like whether we wanted to keep the football documentary that had been taped over!) and the finished product was ready within 24 hours! He met me at A Express the next day and seemed excited to show me the finished product on his laptop. I was ASTONISHED at how amazing the video looked. The quality looked even better than I remembered the original video looking in the 90s, and both the picture and sound were crisp and clear. I was completely blown away at how they were able to make the recording look so great. These are experienced professionals who obviously take pride in their work and care very much about helping people to preserve their irreplaceable memories. The total cost was only $17 because they provided a flash drive (if you provide your own, it's only $10.) We are going to use Z Stories to digitize all my in-laws' home movies, and I would wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone.

The communication was on point, the experience of filming was both fun and intuitive (Kyle went out of his way to make sure the shots looked great), and the pricing was very reasonable.

After a day or two, we had a color-corrected and finalized version of the video and it turned out awesome! Thank you Kyle! You rock!

This is a belated review, but one nonetheless, offering praise to Millenial Scans. Our family had…read morean offbeat request. We had three copies of a book put together by a former family member and distributed to just three family members with the hope that they would share it with others. While the book was not "ancient", still, it was put together in the 1990s when the internet was barely in existence and was comprised of cut out newspaper articles from various countries in various languages, old and new pictures, and photocopied pictures of poor quality. It also held written memories of people then alive whose families had come to the US surreptitiously to avoid being killed in their home countries. They came with very little money, just hope in their hearts. The author's own family had a member who hid in a hay wagon with her tiny son knowing that as she crossed the border, border guards would thrust pitch forks into the hay to ensure that no humans were hiding there. But the people came, stowing away on ships, having bought the cheapest tickets available so they rode in steerage, arriving in the US with no English skills and no promise of work. They simply had the small savings they could carry with them, their clothing, and the hope that the US would offer a better life than the life they would have in their home countries. That was the information that these three books held. I took one of those books, which was professionally bound in the 1990s to the very same book binder who had bound the book and asked him to unbind it knowing that he would then need to bind it again so that it looked untouched. Once he unbound the book, it was up to me to get it to a person who would scan it. I chose Millenial Scans. I cannot tell you why. There are numerous scanning companies recommended by Yelp. I simply picked Millenial Scans and contacted them. This led to a meeting in Santa Monica to show Nika, who started Millenial Scans, the book in issue. This was followed by another meeting in Marina Del Rey set up as a telephone meeting with Nika, her father, who is an IT specialist, and a family member of mine who is also an IT-savvy individual. We discussed what needed to be done. We wanted a bit of the impossible. We had old, delicate news clippings in various languages. These would all need to be scanned and OCRed so that people could search words and find them in the various documents in the various languages. All documents would have to be carefully handled. I had to fully trust Millenial Scans. At the end of the meetings, I gave them the disassembled book, feeling great anxiety about my choice. But, it was needless anxiety. Millenial Scans understood what a delicate and challenging project they had. In several weeks, they had completed the task and sent to me the electronic copy of the book. I was relieved to have the project over, or so I thought, and took the book parts back to the book binder for reassembly. He did an exceptional job. Millenial Scans had not damaged any of the material. When Millenial Scans sent me the electronic copy of the book, I was warned that the copy would only be available for a set time. I would have to download a copy by that time, and if there were questions, contact them. I left for Europe with the electronic copy ready to review. I was going to be there for quite a while. Unfortunately, given events that happened in Europe, I lost track of time, and when I finally arrived back in the US, I realized that I had not downloaded the file. I was clearly beyond the time limit. I tried to download the file but had no success. I could not believe that I had missed this deadline date. Desperate, but somewhat accepting of the fact that I would have to go through the scanning project again, I contacted Milenial Scans. This was right before Thanksgiving, and I told them what had happened. They immediately got back to me and said they would try to get me a copy of the order but would not contact me until after Thanksgiving. We did connect then, and I was overwhelmed with what they told me. They were able to get another copy of the book!!! I downloaded it immediately and sent it off to relatives. The book could be copied again for another set term. What can I say? There are not enough stars to recommend Millenial Scans. This family-owned business treats you like family. For what more can you ask? Thank you Millenial Scans.

I looked all over for a place that could help me with this process. Where other companies fell short, Nika exceeded my expectations. She accepted all 26 albums with hundreds of photos in each and returned them in perfect condition. She even worked around photos that were stuck with old glue. She offered flexible pick-up and drop-off times, texted progress updates, and allowed me to use my own USB to store my digital copies. Her company also scans the front and back of every photo, while providing an auto enhanced copy of each photo without additional charge. Other companies over charged or required extensive requirements to accept photos. Millennial Scans was friendly, professional, and efficient. I would trust Nika with my life and look forward to working with them again.

From the very first call, Sam was kind, patient, and took the time to explain the entire process and walk me through my options.

I was expecting this to take weeks especially since others quoted a minimum of 3-4 weeks, but Sam got everything done in just seven days. Overall an amazing experience, I highly recommend him.

My 95-year-old mother was eager to see the commercials we created together, but they were stored on outdated 1990s VCR tapes that she hadn't seen in years. And when I finally found the VCR in storage, I decided that moment to immediately find a transfer VCR service to digital that day before I either lose the VRC tapes or again just put it on my "To Do List". I researched several local VCR transfer companies and the found the company to do the this important work. Sam is an exceptional expert in his field--meticulous, attentive to detail, and incredibly helpful. Working with him was a truly pleasant experience because he personally manages every aspect of the VCR transfer process from start to finish and ensuring the preservation of picture quality and audio clarity. Unlike other companies that handle VCR transfers, which tend to be impersonal with staff members working behind the scenes, Sam offers direct, face-to-face interaction and takes the time to understand my specific needs and concerns. This personal touch was a major reason I chose to trust him, knowing my mother's irreplaceable memories were in good hands. Moreover, his genuine thoughtfulness and unwavering dedication to helping my beloved 95-year-old mother preserve her precious memories made the entire process even more meaningful. Mama-san just cried tears of happiness when she saw the digital transfer on my cell phone. It was a priceless moment of connection and nostalgia between a 95-year-old mother and her 72-year-old daughter.

He continues to work with major labels and yet is available locally. He is tech savvy and knows how to use tomorrow's technology to produce main stream sound that will blow your mind.
