Performance Video has recently started the process of helping capture the great history of paddlesport. Our sport has a rich history, and we need to be sure it is preserved. In closets across our country, film of the early days of paddling is decaying and is destroying our paddling history at an alarming rate. Once the film backing shrinks, it becomes brittle, and essentially unusable.
Our company, Performance Video, has a specific interest in your footage. We are starting a documentary film project capturing the exciting evolution of paddlesport in North America.
Where to send footage:>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> These vendors have a lot of experience at Film to DVD transfers. Please let us know your experience working with any of these:
http://www.digitaltransfersystems.net/ (perhaps best overall, 10% discount currently) http://www.posthouse.com/ (perhaps best quality) http://www.mymovietransfer.com/index.html (perhaps best pricing) http://www.homemoviedepot.com
We recommend that you get a Mini DV copy (longer lasting and higher quality format) as well as several DVD copies for you own home use and for distribution to the Hall of Fame and other archiving locations. Footage of known historical significance should be also put on DVCam or Beta SP format.
