How long will the completed film run? (private events)
The standard edited length depends on the ceremony plus the pre-ceremony and reception videos that are 3 to 5 minutes each.
If you choose the Feature Movie option, then the length is approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. This also depends on the amount of footage captured in the event.
Do you film in High Definition?
Yes, in fact all filming is done on digital drives in HD and recorded to tape for backup. That way if something goes wrong with the drive we have the tape to fall back on.
How long will it take to edit and put everything together?(private events)
We usually take between 2 to 8 weeks to complete any project, but depending on the project it may take longer or maybe no time at all.
My event is only 1 to 2 hours. Can you reduce the price?
Our lowest price represent the minimum rate we charge. However, if you can find the same level and quality of work similar to ours for less, we will match and beat it by 5% provided that you have proof of their work and a written quote.
If I give you an external USB hard drive, do you need to format it?
Maybe, if any of the video files exceed 4GB in size, then we must format it to NTFS for large file support.
I bought a hard drive from you and I cannot write files to it?
This will happen if you have an Apple/Mac computer. We use Windows computers and we format our drives to NTFS which support large file size. Apple computers will read this NTFS format but cannot write to it. You will need to move the file we give you to another drive before you can re-format the drive under Apple’s files system.
Why can’t you use FAT32 file system on the drive you gave me?
Fat32 is the only format that compatible with both Apple and Windows computer. However, Fat32 has a limit of 4GB per file size. Our digital file can exceed 4GB, therefore, we only use NTFS file system on the drive we give our customers.
Do you provide MPEG files?
Yes. We also encode videos using AVI, WMV, MOV, MP4, M2V and M4V.
If I give you a video to watch, can you re-create a certain style I liked about the video?
Yes. We will try to come as close as possible in quality and effects.
What is the difference between 1CMOS and 3CMOS?
The difference is quality of light and picture. With one 1CMOS you get decent quality but lighting may be an issue if the location being filmed is very poor on light. The 3CMOS censor camera is more sensitive to light and records colors better. Please read my blog on “Tips On Hiring An Event Videographer” here to learn more about CMOS chips and more.
