How important is a professionally-produced wedding video? Suppose a friend told you they had in one hand a book of professional photos of the day your grandparents were married, and in their other hand a professionally-produced video of that same day, in full color, with stereo sound, but that you could only choose one to view and keep as a family heirloom. Which would you choose? Today, thanks to new developments in digital technology and the advanced skills of professional videographers, your choices in professional wedding videography are unlimited!
We use professional 3-chip camcorders, including the latest in digital technology imaging and editing technology, in all wedding video productions. This provides you with accurate color, contrast, and detail in the images, as shown above. A professional camera is essential in dealing with the high contrast inherent in wedding videography, ranging from the white of the bridal gown to the blacks of the mens' formalwear. A professional camera is also a must for the wide variety of lighting conditions and is critically important for outdoor weddings. Digital nonlinear editing maintains the image in pristine quality and allows unlimited creative options for graphics overlays, sound mixing, scene transitions, and image compositing. Digital NLE is to traditional videotape editing and word processing is to typing on paper!
We believe it is important to cover wedding ceremonies and other non-repeatable events with at least two cameras. Our use of a diminutive point-of-view camera, in combination with our larger master camera allows us considerably more flexibility in churches and synagogues with strict rules.
Our equipment "arsenal" also includes a range of professional microphone systems including wireless, since audio is at least half of the video in content. Every assignment deserves -- and gets -- advanced planning and coordination with other professionals involved in the wedding and when practical, we attend the wedding rehearsal. If interviews with designated family members and guests are desired, we conduct them with sensitivity, tact and advanced preparation. You wedding video will be composited on our fully-digital computer system for a smooth flow and zest in our professional editing suite. We also add tasteful special-effect transitions and personalized title graphics.
As we only use Sony Digital Video Cameras we are guaranteed Quality. All our Cameras are Matched for hot swapping batteries on the fly, colour and white balance, autofocus and exposure. For a full spec on our Master Camera click here.
Only video (and now DVD) will allow everyone to relive your wedding day as it actually happened to see you walk down the aisle, to hear your voices as you exchange vows and rings, to hear and see the toasts, the music, your first dance at the reception...and the chance to preserve the complete story of your wedding. This wasn't possible in the past.
Even today, you have only one chance to be sure your wedding day is professionally captured....just one chance to be sure all of the emotions, the love and laughter are preserved for you to share again and again. Today professional videographers have become as natural a part of the wedding as the photographer.
