Our Story

It's all about preserving your precious memories. And today that means moving to a digital format, so that you will be able to store them and watch them on your computer, as well as playing them on your DVD player. Vern Reynolds-Braun, owner/operator of Movin' Memories, has been a video and multimedia producer for over twenty years. Vern was looking for ways to expand the services he offered his clients, so one day when and his partner Kate were looking for something.

They came across a box full of photo prints and VHS videos, some of which they discovered dated back to their first date! The VHS videos were a transfer of old 8mm films of home movies. While they were flipping through hundreds and hundreds of photos they also wondered how they could even watch the old VHS cassettes with the VHS machine tucked away somewhere in another hiding spot.

This dilemma is experienced by a lot of people as we are switching to new technologies. Their precious memories meanwhile deteriorate as they are stored in some unlabeled box.

Movin' Memories offers these services:

1. FREE e-mail help with your home do-it-yourself digital computer project: many people now have home computers that are capable of transferring your video and printed photos to a digital format. If you have questions about how to accomplish this, you can e-mail Movin' Memories and we'll reply with suggestions on how to 'get it done'. OR, if you feel you would benefit from one-on-one training in your home at your computer, this can be arranged at very reasonable rates.
2. If you don't have the computer equipment, or if you just don't seem to be 'getting it done', we can transfer your videos from just about any format to a DVD or file that your can watch on your TV or computer.
3. Transfer your printed photos or 35mm slides to a digital format that you can watch on your home computer or create a DVD slide show for you to watch on your TV. We can add music or narrative for an extra fee.
4. Ask us about transferring your old vinyl records and audio cassettes.

We do NOT transfer films to video as we don't have the equipment for that. In case you're looking for that service we suggest that you look up a service in the yellow pages under video production.

If your spring cleanup includes movin' your memories to today's digital formats, contact us to help you 'get it done'. Pick-up and delivery is free within the South Calgary Community area. A small charge in other parts of Calgary will apply.
