A message from the chairman of the board



Hello! Welcome to the Blue Cloud Video website.
Thank you for visiting.
While not at my job as a mechanical engineer, I transfer 8mm, Super 8mm, and 16mm movies, photos and slides to DVD. I also specialize in customized photo video albums.

I started Blue Cloud Video in 2002 after realizing that I wanted to impact people's lives in a more meaningful way.
How do I do that?
Most people wait until they die to let their life flash before their eyes. I wanted to show them what life was in the past and could be worth living for in the future.


The concept of photo video albums has been known for quite some time. Video producers and wedding photographers would video tape photographs and "edit" them with background music. Now, in the technological age, we can do much better. We have complete control over everything. We also have the amazing technology of the DVD to make it extremely easy to view your photos and videos of the past.


We take great pride in the quality of the work that we do. We believe your photographs, S8mm/8mm/16mm movies and slides should be archived properly for generations to come.

We use the highest quality scanners and video editing equipment to enable a professional look that you can watch with your families over and over again.

We can convert your old media formats to DVD: 8mm and Super 8mm film (flicker free frame by frame), 16mm (frame by frame), VHS tapes, 8mm Camcorder tapes, Mini DV tapes.
We also have contacts to convert your Beta, Reel to Reel, Betacam, and any other format you may find.

We scan slides and photos at high resolutions [up to 4800 dpi] to enable you to properly archive your records and memories forever.

We are almost always available. You can call us at the phone number below 7 days a week, or send us an email and we will respond as soon as possible.

What I am trying to offer is high quality transfer of your old media to new DVD media. If you choose a photo video album you will benefit from my creative skills and "relive" your past through pictures and music. If you choose Super8mm/8mm frame by frame transfer or 16mm frame by frame transfers, you will be amazed at the quality your films will be even though time has passed. With some film, the quality makes 1965 look like it was filmed yesterday. I am not trying to be a millionaire with this project - which means we do not do high volume (yet) and our turnaround time is around 30 days during the busy seasons (Thanksgiving and Christmas).
I truly want to help others feel their lives with their photographs and films and realize that we cannot turn back, to cherish the present and have the future to look forward to.

I will try not to disappoint you.

Matthew
