Time to roll

We will provide all necessary personnel and equipment to develop a first class video production.

According with our proposal we will allocate a date and time for shooting in our studio, your facilities and/or other location(s). The phrase "Time is money" must have be coined by someone in the film industry. Careful planning and coordination will make this event run smoothly. If you are comming to our studio for shooting we will be ready briefly after your call. If we are shooting on location we pledge to be efficient in our setup(s) to maximize the effective shooting time. Our focus on this stage is to concentrate in the 3 areas of shooting

Sensible and Professional Lighting: That will provide volume and detail both in the highlights and shadows. Photography means "Painting with light". Proper lighting, contrast and exposure differentiate poor and mediocre shooting from pro material.
Pristine Audio Recording: The base of an outstanding sound track. Audio is more important than most people relize. A great shot can be unusable later becuase of improper audio levels, distortiuon, poor microphone positioning, improper monitoring and many other reasons.
Smooth Top Tier Camerawork: Of course quality equipment is a key piece for finishing a quality production, but without a proficient cameraperson who has a solid aesthetic foundation the finished production will be lackluster.

As important as We will provide a turnkey operationand 2 hours of product on studio shooting based upon the approved script. We will produce this video in the miniDV digital video format and will supply all necessary video equipment and personnel. Additional shooting days are available at the rate of $750/day. This shooting session must be carefully coordinated to maximize the productivity and minimize idle time.
