What is videography?

Videography is a word derived from photography, but rather than still images a videographer captures motion picture, as well as audio. Many videographers are involved in other aspects of film production such as editing, and audio engineering.

Why hire professionals?

A professional can create images and capture audio in ways an amateur simply could not, due to their experience and the equipment available to them. The result is broadcast quality, and pleasing to both the ear and eye.

What sort of equipment do you use?

Cannon XL series cameras. Light-weight portable cameras similar to those used to film nature documentaries.

How does editing work?

We use apple Final Cut Professional editing software as well as a few other function specific programs. The footage is uploaded digitally, edited, then transfered to DVD. This is a time consuming process.

How do you figure your costs?

Cost are based on the time spent filming and editing, and equipment cost. We try to be competitive in pricing, without sacrificing quality time spent.

How does payment work?

Our payment plan is half due upon signing of the initial contract, and the other half due on delivery of the final video.

What if I am unhappy with the final product?

We offer a free revision upon review of the first draft.

Why does it take so long to produce a video?

The initial shoot usually only takes a day, when taken into editing and audio fine tuning we ask a few weeks to get everything right.

I have this idea for a movie, will you guys film it?

A feature length film production can cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, and involve 100s of production team members. We do not offer this service at this time.

Do you offer discounts?

We offer discounts to charitable or humanitarian interests.

Can you transfer my old home movies to DVD?

Yeah that is no problem. Contact us for details.
