I have known Dan with Keepsake Family Tree video for years. He has a driving passion for preserving family memories, and providing the highest quality videography. You can feel his dedication and care with his outstanding customer service. Everyone I know who has hired him to video their wedding and Bar/Bat Mizvah's has spoken highly about how happy they were with him.
For years he has emphasized the importance converting old movies to digital format since they apparently degrade and fade over time. I heard the words, and intended to get around to it, but was "too busy", "didn't have time" and "needed to 'organize them" (so I thought). In actuality, it took no time at all to retrieve the box from the closet and drop it off - very easy, simple and quick. A lifetime of my family's videos going back to 1960's was place on one drive - and what a game changer to be able to easily watch and share them with other family members!! I was brought back in time to so many happy moments and memories of my grandparents, my childhood, and all the wonderful times raising our children.
I was hit hard understanding Dan's message behind "preserving your family memories" when I viewed one particular video with my paternal grandmother who passed in 1989. As I listened to her voice and hearing her express herself, I realized my memory of who she was, her voice, her movements, personality, had all faded. I suddenly wondered who she was as a person. I was overcome with wishing I knew more about her childhood, her family, the massacre, and so many things that I will never know. For my children and generations to come, she is essentially lost and in a generation or two, basically forgotten or nothing more than a name and date of birth/death in the Family Tree software.
This isn't just a "review", but an encouragement to have your parents and grandparent's interviewed and preserved for your children, grandchildren and future generations. If you have video tapes call Dan and drop them off without delay. It is true, they do degrade. There is a noticeable color/quality difference between the newer and older ones; three tapes degraded fully and were no longer recoverable. Today.
