Nimrod and his amazing team were nothing short of technological magicians, bringing long-dormant…read morefamily memories back to life. My family had several old films and cassettes that had been in storage for decades, and the Advanced Media team were able to quickly and efficiently transfer them to a hard drive, where they can now be shared with everyone in my family without fear of the original film deteriorating. More importantly, my family can retain our connection with our past -- and the family members who are no longer with us. If you happen to have old films and videos like this lying around, having them professionally transferred to a digital medium strengthens family bonds - it's such a joy to see younger versions of your siblings, parents, grandparents, and other family during candid moments from the past. The group at Advanced Media is the prime choice to take these precious memories. In terms of service, Nimrod was very clear regarding the timetable and cost for transferring our films. The cost was incredibly reasonable, and I felt much more comfortable giving our precious memories to an actual person and supporting a brick-and-mortar L.A. store, as opposed to shipping them to some anonymous and expensive transfer service. In short, expect professionalism and timely service from the Advanced Media team. I fully endorse them and expect to use them to transfer any further batches of film, VHS or Hi8 tapes in the future.

I gave them 10 vhs tapes. They were able to convert 9/10. Despite me writing my name out for them and also despite the vhs tapes being labeled, they misspelled my name on 5/9 dvds. When I asked if anything could be done verad gave me attitude and told me "I'm money hungry"??? What's this about? Extremely unprofessional service and truly embarrassing. It saddens me that people conduct their business in this way. I was also pressured and forced to pay online in full the night before I was to pick up the tapes or else I couldn't retrieve them. I had to stop what I was doing to pay on my cellphone while being out at a dinner. What a joke. Super unprofessional and horrible experience. I do not recommend.

Scary thought, but if they were lost or damaged we have no other copies. I guess on the other hand, if something were to happen I wouldn't need the pictures or negatives because I'm sure I would be headed for divorce ; ) Yelp to the rescue...I found Ray's business and was apprehensive but willing to give it a shot. Ray was very responsive during the entire process. He not only did an amazing job but he also picked them up and delivered them to my house! His invoice was clear and the pricing was more than fair. This whole process could have been such a mess if anything were to go wrong, but Ray was flawless and a great guy too. Tip: This would be a great gift for parents or others with tons of videos or negatives that are decaying and need to be converted. Don't wait until it is too late.

I am so happy to be able to review Hollywood Photo Scanning! I've had boxes of family photos for…read moremany years and had always wanted to organize them. My assistant found Hollywood Photo Scanning thanks to Yelp (here's a shout-out to this platform) and after researching other places, said this should be our go-to place. Am I grateful that he led me here! Tony is incredible - patient, organized, and empathetic. It's a lot to go through getting old pictures organized and I figured the cost and enormity of the project would overwhelm me. A phone call or two with Tony where he offered me options and really fair pricing made the process doable and simple. He's been in business for years and his company knows exactly what they're doing. All my pictures were scanned, organized, and cleaned up in the scanning process so they look better than ever. Tony's attention to detail, his concern for the client, and his willingness to help go beyond the call of duty. If every business ran this well, this would be one incredible world. If you have important photos you want organized and saved, this is the place to go. They have services beyond just photo scanning so definitely give them a call and get your job done BEAUTIFULLY!!!

Absolutely incredible service! I highly recommend Hollywood Photo Scanning to anyone with a huge…read morecollection of photos. Before I called these guys, I thought having scanning done was going to be a complex task but they made it so easy. I had everything digitized from my family's old photo collection and also from my wife's family. Some of the prints date back to the 1940s. They did an astonishing job with all of my negatives, slides, and prints. They took the prints out of my old photo albums, scanned and put them back in the exact chronological order they were already in, just as though they had never been touched by anybody. Additionally, they did a great job packaging and condensing my other scanned loose prints and film into separate bags. They individually labeled each archived bag (which they provided for free) by group, indicating which digital folder names the photos were scanned into. When I received all our original photos back, they made it so I was able to put the perfectly organized boxes they provided directly into our garage, repackaged for long-term storage. Since we now have the digital scans of them, which look way better than the originals, there is no reason I can see the need to access any of the original photos or film again. However, I still don't have the heart to throw them out, so I'm glad they were able to really free up some space for me in how they returned everything. The quality of images left my whole family speechless. They images are very sharp and clean. Even displayed on my full screen tv, they look like they were taken on a high quality digital camera, if one existed decades ago. It's amazing how the color corrections (a service I added on) came out so well on my older photos. I'm seeing my childhood (that I thought took place in a red and orange world), in incredible natural but vivid color. I am very grateful for their generous and friendly customer service as well. I haven't encountered this level of customer service anywhere else in as long as I can remember. A big thanks to the whole crew over there for their excellent work digitizing my family's history. I'm so glad I went with them.

What they have instead is a temp front office (no relation to the business itself) that prepares a paper invoice and have you leave your item with them. The item then gets picked up, inspected at a later date, then a quote is given to you either by phone or email. This is extremely inconvenient for the customer as there is no onsite assessment that can be done which means you're obliged to travel back and forth to a nonexistent office. It's lazy at best, unprofessional at worst. Responsiveness was hit or miss -- more often than not, my calls were not answered but I did get a call back on the same day and the man answered all my questions as patiently as he was able. However, I can't recommend this place given the concerns listed above.
