Fig 1. Mold built up on the magnetic tape inside a VHS case. Azure Production have been transferring videos for over a decade. We have received many formats such as VHS, Hi8 and film in various conditions. Our job is to transfer them onto digital platforms at the highest quality possible. Before your transfer begins, we inspect the tape’s integrity, approximately 10% of the tapes we receive are in need of repairs, or cleaning. Sometimes we see mold built up around the spool, or damaged cases. (Fig. 1) Most magnetic tapes can last a very long time. We still get tapes dated back from the mid 1980s that are still in good condition. For films dated back in the 1950s, we notice that most are still in good condition, but some are starting to become brittle.

During our winter holiday, we had a chance to ride on I’d say the best downhill trails in Ontario. We’ve used a GoPro camera to capture the footage, we’re not pro snowboarders so we ended up mixing royalty free footage to make the edit more entertaining and epic! Here are the 5 tips on how you can use royalty free footage and music to add to your video’s creatively! #1) IT’S THE SOUND OF MUSIC – Finding music is one of the most important things in a GoPro video because GoPro cameras do not capture sound well. You will definitely need a separate audio capturing device or add music to it in post production, that was what we did. I found that the best free music can be downloaded at Ben Sound, Josh Woodward, and Global Sound Promotion. Youtube also offers royalty free music, you can also check out Jamendo and Incompetech.
