Types of Video
Basically, there are three categories of video we can make for you.

Straight Shot video is pretty much just hitting record and letting it go, i.e. taping the event in its entirety. This is the easiest and cheapest type of video because it doesn't involve much post-event work.

Documentary Style video is a lot like a documentary you might see on the Discovery channel or some other TV show. There are interviews and the highlights are featured in the video. This costs more than the straight shot because there is more post-event work required. This is typically about a one-hour video.

The Nostalgic video has special effects, titling, disolves/transitions, and is often set with a lot of background music. This is often a shorter video, but is very enjoyable to watch.

Why not have Uncle Jim tape it?
Because Uncle Jim doesn't use a high quality, 3 CCD, Digital Camcorder. Seriously, when necessary, we use a lapel or wireless (UHF) microphone. We have backup cameras. Also, we shoot with an eye for what will be memorable and what will be necessary to result in a high quality, edited video. We use multiple professional computer programs to capture and edit your video, then we create the DVD using another quality program.
