Videography service available for
Actors Alliance Festival 2007

I have been asked to serve as videographer for Actors Alliance Festival 2007 and I'm glad to offer my services at greatly reduced rates to make this easily affordable for all participants. Your arrangements for this service are to be made directly with me.

Note: Shows with Equity actors cannot and will not be recorded.

Full details about my videography services can be found elsewhere on this web site. The following is information that applies specifically to the festival.

The videography will be single-camera shoot with a professional (Canon XH-A1) video camera and at least four (Carvin unidirectional professional) microphones on very low stands around the edge of the stage to pick up good sound without intruding visually.

The charge for videotaping a performance is $25.00, with a $50.00 minimum per program applicable.  So if two shows are to be videotaped, the minimum is met. If only one show is to be videotaped in an evening, that would require a $50.00 payment.

In addition, DVDs will be available at $13.00 each, including tax and shipping. As many performances as possible (up to 2 hours) will be put on a disk, each marked by its own chapter designation for easy access.

The entire festival taping should be available on no more than 4 disks, depending on the number of shows taped.  Once the number of total disks is determined, I will figure a discount price for ordering the full set.

The video of each show will include title and credits as they appear in the program. If you want different information on the DVD, be sure to get that to me before or immediately after taping.

The videos will be recorded in wide-screen format.  DVDs will then be available in both (1) full wide-screen format (viewable on most newer television sets, even if they don't have a wide screen); and (2) standard-screen format with letterbox picture, which will be viewable on any TV set but especially appropriate for those that do not accommodate the wide-screen signal (there will be dark areas at the top and bottom of the screen to make it a wide-screen picture).

The $25.00 taping fee is to be paid in advance. Orders for DVDs may be placed with initial payment or later. DVDs are to be paid for when ordered (be sure to include recipients' names and mail addresses).

Scheduled taping dates are:
    July 12: Program 2
    July 13: Program 1
    July 15: Program 4
    July 17: Program 3
    July 19: Program 5

Finished DVDs should be available no more than two weeks following taping of the final show.

If you want to have your show videotaped, or have any questions about the service, please contact me. I look forward to working with you.
