Personal Pride, Passion and the Pursuit
of Excellence: We are perfectionists with a passion for
the visual arts. We take tremendous personal pride in each video
that we produce because we feel that the quality of our work
is a reflection of ourselves. We also have a great respect for
the institution of marriage and are delighted to be able to
enhance the enjoyment of a couple's wedding through videography.
Always Two Cameras and Always Manned:
We always use two cameras for the ceremony and each camera is
operated by a videographer at all times. Many other wedding
videographers charge extra for a second camera and many just
set up a second camera and let it run on its own.
Wireless Microphones:
A very high quality wireless microphone system is used
to properly capture your audio during the ceremony and reception.
We Use Digital Technology: With
the exception of your final VHS tape, the process we use for
taping and editing your video is entirely digital. This means
that the image and sound quality of your video will be very
high
Three-chip Digital Cameras: We
use professional digital video cameras that incorporate superior
lens optics and special technology for capturing very high quality
images, even in low lighting conditions.
Redundant Equipment: We know
that unanticipated technical problems can sometimes arise. That's
why we bring extra equipment with us. Should a problem be encountered,
we will have adequate backup.
Highly Skilled: We have a high
degree of skill in wedding videography, which ensures we capture
both your special moments with well composed shots. Our talents
also include graphic art skills for adding customized background
images to the professional titling slides on your video.
Professional Editing Technology and
Techniques: Your video is assembled and edited digitally
using the latest (just totally upgraded in 2001!) in real-time
nonlinear video editing equipment, in order to deliver a well
polished production with professional transition effects (e.g.,
wipes, dissolves, and fades), slow motion, camera blurs, soft
filters, old movie effects, titling and a music soundtrack of
your choice (including the option to select music from our royalty
free music library). In short, we make your video look more
like a full feature movie.
Accurate Synchronization of Video and
Audio Tracks: Our lead video editor has over two decades
of musical experience as a performer and composer. His background
and attention to detail ensures that the visual elements of
your video will flow smoothly and seamlessly with the music
track (especially important with video montages). This is critical,
as some editors may try to save editing time by only loosely
locating each image with the audio track. The latter approach
results in a video that is poorly paced and has an unnatural
and uneven flow.
You Are Permitted to Make Copies of
the Finished Video: Videographers usually retain the
copyrights to your video and most will charge you for every
copy made. Although, we still maintain the rights to your finished
video (mostly for showing new clients samples of our work),
we permit you to make copies of it on your own. However, please
realize that you will get a much lower quality video than you
would if you allowed us to produce copies from our digital master.
Finally, we will even give you the master copy of all raw footage
for a nominal charge (to cover tape costs).
We Will Attend Your Rehearsal, if Feasible
and Appropriate: This allows proper planning and preparation
for video taping your wedding day and minimizes potential surprises
that could lead to a poor quality video.
Careful Planning and Customer Involvement:
We involve you at key stages to ensure we clearly understand
your expectations and needs. This includes planning the content,
structure and flow of your video to ensure we've captured all
of the essential elements. We want you to be excited about the
finished product, to enjoy it for years to come and to be proud
of it as you show it to others.
Professional and Likable Personalities:
You will find us to be professional, friendly, creative, flexible,
cooperative, and above all, anxious to please you. In fact,
we depend on word-of-mouth advertising from satisfied customers
for much of our business.
