Preserving your home movies and precious memories is our area of expertise at ARS Video, but film conversions and digitization aren’t the only specialties our team has to offer. Our film preservation services range from recovering damaged video to managing construction site photo and video footage and everything in between.
Here are the top three additional services we offer at ARS Video:
Recovering Damaged Footage
There are several types of recovery services ARS Video offers. Regarding video files and tape recovery, our team corrects moldy videotapes that have been stored in high-humidity areas by capturing the memories preserved on the damaged tape and transferring them to a High Definition 1920 x 1080 format. The updated videos are then returned to you on a USB flash drive to use on your computer or tv so you can re-live those memories on the go.
ARS Video also offers recovery services for Sticky Shed—a phenomenon that occurs in magnetic tape formats where humidity causes the tape to stick together and ruins the recording—and data recovery services using disc buffers (hard disks with memory embedded, which act as temporary storage sites for data being transferred).
For more information on how we recover damaged footage, check out our Recovery Services Page.
Archival Preservation
Memories come in all different formats. Home movies and family events aren’t the only moments to be captured on video, and with ARS Video’s Archival Preservation Services, museums, universities, libraries, historical societies, and more can have their videos preserved right from their archives.
Preserving the past and precious moments in history has never been easier. ARS Video can digitize 8/16/35mm film and video/camcorder tapes, professional or consumer, to High Definition and even some to 2K. We also digitize slides/photos and audio/micro cassettes to your specifications. We’ve worked with well-known institutions such as Kent State University, the Akron Summit County Public Library, and the Akron Civic Theatre, so reach out to our team of experts to get started preserving your institution’s historical moments today.
Pre-Construction Video Services
Pre-Construction Video Services are crucial during the mobilization phase of a construction project, and ARS Video is here to help make your dream project a reality. During this phase, ARS Video provides you with a team of experienced videographers, photographers, and a safety technician that conducts high-definition video and photo surveying. Each construction project is unique, and our team will work with your project manager to deliver seamless pre-construction video services.
In addition to proper safety gear and drone footage of your pre-construction site, ARS Video offers a comprehensive checklist with everything you’ll need to cover during your project. Check out the complete list of what you can expect from ARS Video on our Pre-Construction Video Services page.
