Reviving Memories as an iPreserve Technician

As a technician for iPreserve, I have the opportunity to witness the actual process of memories being transferred to a format that is longer lasting and more accessible.  Almost everybody has a box of film, photographs, or video tapes tucked away somewhere.  It’s sad to think about all of those moments deteriorating, slowly fading away, or simply not being enjoyed and shared.  This past week I had the opportunity to sit down with some clients and share with them a few of their 8mm movie reels that were digitized for them.  It was very satisfying to see the excitement and happiness on their faces as they were able to relive memories of mothers, fathers, spouses, siblings, and children who have long since passed away or grown to adulthood.

Day in the Life of an iPreserve Technician

Each day working as a technician at iPreserve is different. As I come in each day, I review my work-in-process orders to determine my game plan on how I can complete each order both promptly and efficiently. Finishing the orders might include transferring videos, editing 8mm film before placing it on a dvd, scanning pictures, or anything else you could think of.
Today I have two orders I plan to finish. One order is a combination of videos and 8mm film; the videos are done, but I still need to capture some audio 8mm film, edit the blank spots, and put it on a dvd. After finishing both products I will begin the very next order our office has received. This is what I do.
