Question:
What are your basic wedding video services?
Answer:
For your wedding video, we use 3 camera angles to capture
your special moment. Normally, cameras are positioned...
Camera 1: Positioned to
the rear of the audience, and is used as a stationary
"catch-all" camera.
Camera 2: Located facing
the audience in order to view the bride and groom. This
allows a camera operator to capture family members and
close-ups of the wedding ceremony...especially the
bride.
Camera 3: Is used to
capture miscellaneous shots that other cameras have
difficulty seeing. This would include the bride walking
down the aisle, candid shots, and soloists.
We
are careful to record your ceremony without being
disruptive. We will be quiet and discrete. We are flexible
and will work with you to accommodate your needs.
Video recording is started about 15 minutes before principle
events (for example: seating of grandparents/parents). This
allows time to insert titles (the Wedding Party
participants) into the video and for you to enjoy some your
pre-wedding music that you probably did not get to
experience.
After the wedding, the tapes are digitally edited together
into a single, continuous "movie".
The finished video is delivered to you within 2 weeks. Three
(3) copies of the DVD will be supplied. Additional copies
are available at an extra charge.
We
keep the original video tapes and a master copy of the final
DVD for future purchase.

Question:
What do I need to supply?
We
will ask you to provide us with information about the
wedding such as the names of the participants (minister,
bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc.) of the wedding party. This
information is often included on your Wedding Program. We
like to have access to the wedding ceremony location 2 hours
prior to the start of the service. This will allow us to set
cameras to have the best view of the service, and to check
out lighting and sound. If possible, we welcome the
opportunity to be present at the wedding rehearsal.
Please keep in mind that dim lighting is not recommended,
but can be accommodated. A well lit ceremony will allow the
video to be captured for maximum quality, and also allows
the audience to best view the wedding.

Question:
What equipment do you use?
 All
of our cameras are high quality Sony Hi-Definition, wide
screen format cameras. We have chosen to use widescreen
format due to the digital revolution where most future
televisions will be high-definition wide screen. Don't
worry, if you do not have wide-screen or high-definition,
your video can still be viewed with standard definition TV.
The cameras that we use produce a high, stable-quality video
with excellent color. Most consumer grade video equipment
result is much lower quality images.
All cameras are mounted on tripods to achieve smooth
recording. Panning, zooming, and excessive camera movement
is minimized in order to provide a high quality video.
After the wedding, the best shots from the 3 cameras are
edited together into a single, continuous video. We use
professional digital editing equipment.
Audio is captured as well using our audio equipment, or we
can patch into the sound system of the church (or location)
if available.
