ALIVE STUDIOS Arvostelua 25

Excellent service—Jennie was very helpful and understanding when I noticed I’d ordered the wrong item. Highly recommended.

I converted my home cine to digital in 2005 and as video standards have improved so much now I thought I would give it another go to make them HD. I am amazed by the results, with the images cleaned up brilliantly. I did 8 cine reels from the 1970's forward and I am going to go back into my family archive and do some more. Top notch work!

Great people and fantastic results on long-neglected film. Totally worth it.

I came across a metal cylinder containing 20 reels of cine film taken by my father over 60 years ago. They were in poor condition with clear signs of dirt and mould but I decided to research to see if they could be recovered. I choose to use Alive Studios, impressed with their prompt and comprehensive responses to my queries and the restoration services they said they could provide. My expectations given the condition of the film, confirmed by Alive Studios as extensive dirt, mould, colour fading and vinegaring", were not high. When I received the results on a Memory Stick on the agreed delivery date I was amazed at the results! Alive Studios have done a brilliant job , making the films easily watchable and bringing back long forgotten childhood memories. I have no hesitation in recommending Alive Studios and plan to use them again. Definitely worth the cost to recover irreplaceable memories.

Nice people. Outstanding results from film that had been poorly kept for decades. Totally worth it.

I found some old cine films that my parents had taken over 55 years ago and decided to send the films to Alive Studios to have them processed and stored on a USB.
I chose Alive Studios from 2 other companies I looked into because the price was all inclusive, so it was quite clear what the cost would be. I also felt as a family firm that they would care more about my precious cine film.
I must say, I was right with my choice!
Customer service was excellent and I am so pleased with the result and can't thank everyone enough for their work.
I would definitely recommend Alive Studios to anyone!

I had a VHS tape of a party which must be over 40 years old, the quality was awful so I decided to try and get it cleaned up via Alive Studios and have been really impressed with the result. It is so much clearer and is going to be a very well received Christmas present. They were also great when I requested a speedier turn around time and got it to me within days. Very impressed. Not cheap but definitely worth it.

Making a quote and starting the order was done overnight. The whole work has lasted 2.5 weeks since the material receipt. The application form and process are described in detail. I've had access to the online portal and received notification every time the material entered the next processing stage. Downloading was straightforward; the package sent back was well presented and secured. The only downside was the price; it was well repaid by the service and communication. I've never felt the material was lost in the processing stages or through the postal service.

From the very start, Alive Studios were informative and pro-active with easy to follow instructions. They kept in touch throughout the process and the result was excellent. To see those old films brought to life again was a very emotional experience. Amazing!

I had three VHS tapes transferred to digital and what a beautiful job Alive Studios did. The quality is superb and I can't stop watching these wonderful memories again.
Since the initial posting I have had two other VHS tapes transferred and what an outstanding job they did again.
Their website is easy to navigate and their communication excellent. Thank you so much.

The care, time taken and customer service throughout the process were exceptional. Thank you to the team that recreated the old tape and placed into a digital format for us to enjoy once again.

These guys did a brilliant job of salvaging an old video tape and converting to digital for me. Great communication, friendly and super quick.

Great service and Jennie was very understanding when I realised I’d placed the wrong order. Would recommend. I was kept updated on the order every step of the way.

I recently used Alive Studios to transfer some archieve footage for my documentary. I was hesitant as I had used two different companies previously, they were offering very cheap prices which was why I went with them, but the result reflected the price. I would highly recommend spending more if you care about the result of your films. You get what you pay for! Other companies also damaged my films but Alive Studios provided a cleaning of my films resulting in a flawless picture for my documentary.

I spoke with both the manager, Jennie and an editor Steven who took so much time in explaining how my film would be handled and the process. Both really knew their stuff and seemed passionate about the results they could offer. There's an online system which updates what part of the process your films are in which is reassuring too!

I also opted to use Alive Cloud which worked incredibly well for sharing with colleagues who were remote, took the hassle out of having to post DVD's or USB sticks / uploading and emailing large attachments etc.
Seemless pick up and delivery service also provided by Alive Studios.

I think most people look for a quick and cheap option and don't do their research. I'm so glad I did mine!!
Hassle free, perfect results. Thank you Alive Studios, my company will be using you again for our next project!

What a joy to have my father’s dusty 1950s cinefilm and audio tapes, long forgotten in plastic bags, lovingly restored. Thanks to Alive Studios, his military days didn’t just play—they came alive, unfolding like a vivid time portal into the past. It was nothing short of magical.
From collection to delivery, the experience was first-class. Clear updates, swift service, and an incredible final product. The USB arrived in an elegant Tiffany-style box, securely mounted and beautifully packaged. The thoughtful addition of local fudge and a handwritten note made it all the more special.
This is more than a service; it's a passion for a team as eager as you are to bring history back to life. Alive Studios don't just transfer old footage—they breathe life back into your history. I felt like I experienced the past in a way I never thought possible. Highly recommended!

We had videos from the 1990 onwards which we could no longer view. We now have the same content in high quality to view on computer or ipad. We were impressed with the service from the outset and delighted with the product. Thank you. Highly recommended.

Read the reviews and decided to ask Alive to transfer old videos on DVD to memory disk and enhance quality. Brilliant - the service was superb and the results were excellent. The old video had distortion and breaks - the new is smooth, clear and good quality. Would definitely use Alive again!

We entrusted Alive Studios with a series of cherished and irreplaceable cine films (some dating back to the 1940s) to share memories of parents, grandparents and great-grandparents with family across the globe.
The quality of the digital conversion is exceptional, and AS's service was spot on, too. Thanks!

Fantastic company, the service was quick and easy to understand. Very efficient and the footage was amazing with help and advice after the service. Would highly recommend to family & friends.

I used Alive Studios, some of the tapes had complications due to faults with the original camcorder, plus there were bilateral audio tracks on some of the tapes, which complicated my order. I was generally happy with the results, and with the support during the processing period. One small criticism was the time it took, some 6 weeks from start to finish. Some companies undertake to do similar work in a significantly shorter time. However, this is a small point, if the results are worth waiting for, and I think they were.
