A picture brings back the memory.

A movie brings back the experience.

Professionalism
makes the difference

= Professional experience
+ Professional equipment
= Quality videography

Then add to that equation genuine affordability and you have an unbeatable formula for attaining your custom video productions.

There are three basic elements in the production of a video of professional quality:
(1) broadcast-quality picture;
(2) clear, clean, strong  sound;
(3) inconspicuous, gimmick-free editing and titling.
 Now let me tell you how I can fulfill these needs for you.

And remember: It's all affordable! (You can find more information about estimating the cost of your project in the individual category information which may select to the left.)

PICTURE
I use the Canon XH-A1, a professional video camera that generates a clear, crisp, true-color picture. This is the kind of picture you would expect to get when you tune in your local news broadcast. There is no graininess or muddiness so often encountered with home video cameras.

And you have the choice of having your video made in wide-screen (16:9) format or standard (4:3) format, and in standard definition or high definition, so you can have the picture that best meets the specifications of your personal television equipment.

SOUND
As many as six Carvin professional unidirectional microphones may be used, with desk stands, stage stands or boom stands -- whatever it takes to capture all the sound that matters in superb stereo.

Professional XLR cables and connectors assure a high gain signal with no line noise and no signal loss.

EDITING
Editing is much more than simply looking, choosing and clipping. It's a matter of assembling the best shots, seamlessly and without gimmickry, to best accomplish what you want the video to do.

Good editing is hardly noticeable. It does what it's supposed to do without calling attention to itself. Good editing is the mark of a professionally produced video.

TITLING
Title is what gives your video that final professional touch. Again, we'll avoid the gimmickry and provide  effective expertise.  If you want an end crawl in addition to opening title and credits, we can do that.  Maybe you need some captions throughout the video that identify scenes or people or events.  No problem.

Most titles will be text on solid background or overlaying a scene or still shot from the video.  But if you need custom titles of any kind, we can do those, too.

END PRODUCT
Finally, the finished version is written to a DVD that's labeled and packaged, and you are supplied with as many copies as you want. I keep a master copy of the DVD indefinitely, so if you ever need to order more copies in the future, it's easily done.

So those are the basics. Now if you'll go back to the top of this page and click on one of the information categories, you'll find details particular to that specific method of videography, including cost estimates.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch. In the meantime, I look forward to our working together on your next project.
