How long will your media last?
Why i started digitising.
It all begins with an idea, like most things. After digitising my family tapes, many of which had degraded over years of stuck in a box, in the garage or sitting on a shelf. I realised how close we came to losing pieces of our story forever.
Those birthday parties, weddings, first steps… they weren’t meant to gather dust in a loft. They were meant to be watched, shared and laughed over again.
That’s when it hit me. If my tapes were at risk, how many other families are unknowingly letting their memories fade away?
That’s why I started Play // Pause, to give these stories a second chance to be seen and shared.
Why Digitise?
All media degrades over time. What started as a way to capture precious moments can fade, distort or become completely unwatchable. Digitising protects those memories. So they stay clear, accessible, and enjoyable for years to come.
*These estimates come from archival research and conservation studies. Actual lifespans vary, and most media will degrade faster without proper care.
