Introduction: Often times customers don't know how the film transfer process is done. Many companies simply use a video camera and record the film off of a screen which is not the way to do it. Our transfers are done correctly and the film is cleaned, and then we include basic color correction after the film has been transferred. We even review 100% of the film transfer to make sure that no blank spots are left or area's where leader was in the middle of a reel. That way the client doesn't have black spots in the middle of their video. I got started in doing transfers when my father passed away because I realized that my family didn't have a lot of video to preserve. I felt that families and individuals should be able to obtain a high quality product that can be preserved on any form of media that fits their needs. In order to be effective, I felt it would be necessary to not only have better equipment, but to obtain the knowledge, experience and education that my competitors don't have. As a result, we continually strive to provide a better product and have more options than the competition.

JR Audio & Video Services has provided excellent service in transferring my personal 8 mm, and supper 8 mm film, which was over 50 years old, to VHS and DVD. The video quality is excellent. This company has also re-recorded to CD's my LP's, small 3 inch family tape reels, and professional 7 inch music reels. All of this material was originally recorded over 40 years ago, and with the high quality studio equipment used Jared Reck my new CD's are outstanding. I have utilized this Company for over a ten year period and have always found the work to be of the highest quality. When I am ready to transfer my current DVD's and CD's to an advanced presentation medium JR Audio & Video Services will be my first choice.

1/9/16 J R with JR Audio & Video Services worked with me on two projects during 2015. The first project was to take a DVD that was transferred from a VHS and previously to that it was on reel to reel film. This DVD footage was taken by my Dad during the middle 1940s, through the 1950s ending up in the early 1960s. The footage contained family gatherings, traveling adventures consisting of Old Faithful, Yellowstone, Reno, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Chicago, and our Homestead in Portland, Oregon. My goal was to be able to document dates, places, and people in the film as best I could from memory and clues of signs that Dad had taken filming. You can image dealing with that old of film, there were several areas of footage that were not good. JR was able to put time increments at the bottom of the film so as I was reviewing the film I could tell him where to stop and where to start again. I would determine what needed to be eliminated. I prepared an excel sheet that would consist of a starting time points & stopping time, with a description of where, who & what, plus a recommendation of music for each section. JR was then able to type in the descriptions and put music to the footage appropriately. My Dad owned the Baseball Inn restaurant located on 24th & Vaughn and across the street from the old baseball stadium. There was some footage of his restaurant and the front of the baseball stadium. I found a large picture of the whole baseball stadium and JR worked with me in implementing the picture into the DVD. We would go back and forth with corrections & deletions and he was able to reach my other goal of having it completed by the middle of June. I wanted to be able to give this family DVD to my sister for her birthday on June 16. It was wonderful to get this family filming documented and completed. It was so nostalgic for me to see my family in younger years, the cars of the era and clothing styles. The second project was to make up a DVD to show at our 50th Wedding Anniversary party on 8/23/15. I had no idea how many pictures to compile for this project. JR was able to give me guidelines and suggestions. He advised that 65 pictures (use 8 x 10 as a guide line) would represent about 15 minutes of footage and for our planned gathering that would be an appropriate amount of time. I started pulling pictures starting with our wedding invitation and wedding pictures of 8/28/1965. Then I realized that I would want to incorporate our video taken from our 25th Wedding Anniversary party. Here again, he took the footage and put time increments at the bottom of the film so I was able to advise him where to stop & start. We wanted to just put in a segment from our 25th Wedding Anniversary and it ended up to be 7 minutes. JR advised to number the pictures. I prepared an excel sheet to organize and describe the dates, description & music preference. I gave him a scheduled goal to have the completed project done a week before our celebration. We went back and forth editing and making some corrections. He accomplished my goal. I also asked JR to record a segment of our 50th Wedding Anniversary party and to take some family pictures. JR is very patient, understanding, cooperative and professional and a joy to work with.

Jared was our videographer for our 50th wedding anniversary. He captured all we wanted and did it in a very unobtrusive way. We were very pleased. We would ran him "outstanding" but for some reason when we click on that star, it does not take.
