Video Production

The camera pictured above adds some vintage style to our website. It's a fun object that we own (we own many). In fact, we do have the experience and working equipment to shoot in Super8mm film. Most clients will want something with more resolution: our in-house cameras are Panasonic GH series micro four-third cameras. These workhorse cameras with various lens choices suit the needs of most of our clients who distribute via the web or internal servers like Office365 Video. When a higher quality is needed, we rent cameras and thoroughly test them before arriving on site. We fill a niche for non-profits, small businesses, and global corporate business units / segments who operate on limited budgets. Our specialties are creative testimonials, training videos, live webcast streams, and documentary projects. We offer basic lighting packages. After traveling to your location, typical interview shoots take about 45 minutes to set up, and 30 minutes to break down. We charge a daily rate that includes equipment for basic interview shoots with standard natural light b-roll.

Post / Editing

Our current video editor of choice is Premiere Pro (always the latest version). We keep previous versions of Premiere loaded just in case we are faced with a project that needs to be updated. We have the capabilities to use Avid Media Composer, but we do not keep the latest version in-house. Final Cut Pro is always loaded and up-to-date, but is not our daily editor. We are 360 / spherical video capable. We do not specialize in After Effects. We hire freelancers to design and animate our animated graphics such as maps, graphs, etc. Editing is typically done as a project with video production. Editing by-the-hour requires ample lead time. If you are in need of analog-to-digital conversion, we exclusively recommend: www.mydigitalconversion.com

Webcasting / Streaming

Our clients are larger global companies who require communicating with their workforce via live events. We do not own switchers. We rent them as needed in order to bring the latest and greatest technology to our clients. We have solid experience with Tricaster and Wirecast, of which we use both almost daily. For clients who stream to the public, we distribute live streams via well-known platforms like Facebook, Google Hangouts, and YouTube, and some you may not have heard of like Periscope, Livestream, and Mixlr. Video Projection is another specialty, using Resolume Avenue software for live event video playback and mixing. We have hundreds of hours of custom made video clips, animations, and vintage footage that can match almost any theme, vibe, or music.
