They have been more than what I expected and I recommend Ugly Duck for anyone around the Boston area to use them. OH, did I mention they have full on video production and editing capabilities too!!!?

My client needed a video turned around in under a week. I have other relationships with…read morevideographers in the area, however my client suggested I call Good Life Productions...now I don't think I'll ever call anyone else. Their ability to get nervous nellies in front of the camera to feel more comfortable is fascinating to watch. And the fact that they actually exceeded an already impossibly aggressive schedule just cements their place on my resource list. All of this is amazing to me, however the reason I will call them again is due to their crystal clear communication, high level of professionalism coupled with a down to earth sense of humor, and their talents (behind the camera as well as pre- and post-production).

American Video transferred old family videos of my children, from 8 mm tapes to a USB stick. I…read moreuploaded the files to my Google Drive and shared the videos to my kids' Google accounts. What a hit! American Video is a small family owned company. They do not send out tapes to a third party so the chance of a tape being lost is almost zero. When you call the company, instead of getting a call center rep, you get a person involved in the operation of the company, someone who actually cares about the customer. The quality of the video/ audio on the files that I received back was excellent. American Video added labels to the files without being asked, something that the big companies charge extra for. I strongly recommend using American Video for any video transfer needs!

I can't say enough about his work ethic! He was extremely polite, gave me the info I needed and decided to choose them for my dvds. Can't wait until I see the finished product. I know I will be pleased. Thank you again, Rob, for being so professional. I will absolutely recommend American Video to anyone!! Marisa Coughlin

One star is unfair, they should take minus one…read more Extremely disappointed with the unprofessionalism and lack of accountability displayed. When I submitted the tape to be digitised, they conducted a technical assessment, quoted a price. However, they sent the quote to the wrong email address!, causing more than two weeks of unnecessary delays. On top of that, they didn't recogniz during the assessment that they lacked the technical capability to handle the job to start with!. Instead, they proceeded anyway and requested full charge which I paid, wasting my time and money. If you can't manage something as basic as sending an email to the correct address or properly identifying your technical limitations, you shouldn't be operating in this industry. Because of this incompetence and delays, I lost the chance to work with a more professional company. My only month in the country has been wasted because of this situation. This is clearly a basic shop for simple tasks, not a professional service provider.

The records were mostly of piano music, so the music came out as v..e..r..y s...l...o...w and low-pitched because they were played at too slow of a speed. Another shop told me that in addition to speed differences, the 78 records should be played with a different type of cartridge than 33/45 records, so it would appear they didn't do that either. I'm familiar enough with computers to correct the speed in software, but it took a few hours of work, which I wasn't super happy to have needed to do. UPDATE: Increased rating from 2 to 3 stars - they kindly offered to refund the charge.

I found Daniel to be extremely approachable, down to earth, and helpful. We worked together to map out an SEO plan for my business and web site. I also gave them the parameters of my financial means. And instead of being pushy and trying to extort me for everything i have, plus my new born, as other "SEO" specialists have, Daniel was able to continuously provide me with new creative alternatives for my business needs. I even offered to reimburse Daniel for his time, but he simply stated :"I just consulted, not worked. There is nothing to charge." I was pretty shocked that a person would refuse any reimbursement for their time. Especially from a professional like Daniel. If you have any web site questions, go see Daniel. Whatever work you have, small or large, Daniel will not only customize his services to your needs, but will suggest alternative routs to circumvent other foreseen and unforeseen issues.
