EQUIPMENT - EXPERIENCE - INNOVATION

 

"We strive for excellence"

            Professional equipment is used throughout every phase of production. Our multi-format HD cameras are fitted with interchangeable Fujinon TV lenses, and we utilize uncompromised 'NLE' edit suites, loaded with an arsenal of the most powerful creative production tools available. Massive hard drive raids for media storage increase the functionality and reliability of our editing systems. We couple this robust "tool box" of equipment with knowledge, experience and proficient operation. This 'balance of art and technology' facilitates innovative production techniques and creative design with dependability. "We strive for excellence...our goal is to surpass client expectation".

Don't settle for 'consumer gear' when you just don't have to!

MULTI-CAMERA PRODUCTION FOR LIVE EVENTS

         We produce multi-camera shoots of live events, utilizing a professional 'front to back' digital switching system. Basically this means, we capture high quality digital video from several cameras at different angles, transfer it digitally over long distances to a ‘real’ digital switcher, (not an analog switcher with digital effects) and output a master program onto digital media in multiple formats. There is no loss or degradation of the video signal with this system, resulting in brilliant video. This 'live' edit system incorporates the latest advances in technology. It's perfect for music concerts, theatrical performances and most any live event. By crafting a production 'live', we are able to bypass the bulk of the post production process, saving hours, if not days, in editing time, (depending on the number of cameras used in the shoot). Saving time during production, saves in the final cost of the project. This system is much like a portable television studio, it works great and the image quality is fantastic!

 OTHER PRODUCTION SERVICES

       Other video services we offer are: Corporate video, infomercials, training seminars, inter/intra departmental communications, TV commercials, PSA drops, sport skills and music videos and more. You may be amazed at what we can produce for you, even on a tight budget.

 AUDIO

         For audio production we utilize high-end wireless lavaliere systems, an assorted array of quality microphones and camera mounted shotgun mics for ENG work. We can provide remote 24 track digital recording for music videos and other live events. With additional powerful post production audio tools, and sound effects, we can correct or 'sweeten' the sound tracks of most any program. We come from musical backgrounds, so we apply a great deal of attention to audio. We can provide you with virtually any style music from our royalty free library or even compose custom music for your project. CD Audio Mastering is yet another service we offer for those who need that refined 'tweak' to improve sonic quality before going to market.

       For your convenience, we maintain a pool of 'voice-over' talent for you to select from should you need professional narration added to your project. We also welcome clients or their designated v/o talent into our iso-booth. We make it enjoyable and easy for you to be involved the production process if you want to add that personal touch.

 

LIGHTS

         We have extensive lighting systems available for broadcast/studio use or on location. Our 'full stage', overhead truss system can facilitate the requirements of theatrical lighting as well as music videos and concert stages. Large broadcast softbox, pin spot and fill lights enable us to craft pristine imagery you expect in quality video production. Low level lighting can generate a grainy image and less color saturation resulting in poor video quality. Of course if you want that dark, 'grungy' look for 'arts sake' ...we can dial that right in for you too. Depending on your needs and your budget...we have the lights!

 GRAPHICS

                    We create imaginative graphics designs for DVD/CD labels, covers, brochures. If you already have graphic prepared, we're be happy to work with your material in an every effort to provide you the best possible product. Computer generated graphics for print or video, 2D/3D modeling and animation are all part of our day to day services.

 TRANSFERS

                Customers rave about our tape, photo, film and slide to DVD transfers. We can preserve your ageing VHS, 8mm, Hi8 and other tape formats before they degrade in quality or become totally dysfunctional. We take the extra time and process that makes our photo collages better than the actual photos themselves. A properly crafted collage is simply an emotional experience to view and will entertain and bring joy to future generations for years to come

 DUPLICATION

   We offer 'in-house' DVD and CD duplication at affordable prices. If you need thousands of units and we can't beat the 'big' replication house prices, we will help direct you to the best deals out there we can find.

Specialized Equipment

 CUSTOM CRANE

    Our customized camera crane utilizes a power pan /tilt head and it extends up to 12 feet for those dramatic, and hard to get, overhead shots. It will even perform a 360 degree continuous pan that just looks awesome.  Remote zoom and focus functions allow for unparalleled camera control.  Its custom, center-mounted 15 inch LCD monitor allows the operator and camera to maintain great composition throughout complicated movements.

DOLLY SYSTEM

       We have an easy to set up dolly system, with a simple smooth track assembly, that can assist in achieving a classy cinematic look. With the dolly we can make the camera speed down a dark, narrow hallway for a dramatic effect, keep pace along side of someone walking or running and slowly drift up in a soft scene for a dreamy close-up. Almost endless shooting techiques can be utilized by a director with the proper equipment available.

SPECIAL EFFECT STUFF

      Custom designed backgrounds and chroma key screens (green and blue screens) are available for compositing multiple scenes and creating special effects. We can even set up the 'works' to create a 'black box' studio almost anywhere for an extended shoot period if required.

         If you need a special ‘rig, jig, whatcha-macall-it, thinga-ma-bob or thinga-ma-jig', and we don't have or we can't buy it...hey, we can probably build it for you!
