Factors to Consider in Choosing a Videographer
Many factors are very important in choosing a producer, scriptwriter,
videographer, editor and duplicator, such as:
 | You must get along personally with the people involved |
| Be sure you meet the actual people who will work with you from
scripting through production, editing, and DVD production |
| At AM Video Productions, Inc. we will assign you a team that will
remain with you throughout your project |
Below we supply some details to help you judge the
equipment.
We Have the Best Equipment!
We use multiple 3-CCD (or 3-chip) all-digital Canon XL1 cameras.
| Because it has 3 CCD chips, the color and detail is much better
than other cameras. Some tests show better results than BetaSP,
especially when dropouts and editing losses are considered. |
| The special Canon lens lets us zoom close or wide as needed for
your shoot (close-up of a small product, wide to show your entire
facility...) |
| We can use up to four remote microphones and capture their digital
audio directly on the same digital tape as the video. This lets us
have more options easily and quickly available. |
| Using two cameras, we can have up to eight separate audio streams,
if needed. |
We use multiple, high quality, professional wireless Samson microphones.
Whether you need a high impact, driving score for your product, or a
dreamy mood, we can find just the right type of tracks that are needed to get
the exact mood for your new production.
We use all-digital editing throughout your production.
Using a Canopus editing system, we can preserve the
video and audio quality through all edits, effects, and transitions.
We Can Also Use Other Equipment to Produce Your Video
Even though the following equipment may not be directly used
to acquire, edit and deliver your video to you, it is nevertheless important
depending on the type and exact script and shooting locations for your video.
| Videographer
Communicators: We use personal communicators
to synchronize our shots and movements. If necessary, we
can use these communicators while we continue to listen to stereo headphones to
ensure the quality of the audio for your video remains superb. |
| High Quality Tripods:
Though often taken for granted, the Bogen
tripods we use are also state of the art, fluid-head, smoothly operating, essential
components of most videos. |
| Spotlights
and Floods: We can light whatever the script calls
for! |
| Variable
Intensity Video Light: Even though we often do
not use our variable video light at all, it is
important to have it available. Since we use a professional Frezzi Dimmer Mini-light, we can add
the exact amount of light necessary to get a shot in cramped quarters where
using our normal spotlights and/or floods is not feasible. |
| Multiple Battery Packs: We bring sufficient battery power to record
all day if necessary,
including any extra surprises! Using small, light, on-camera batteries we can cover
a shooting situation without concern for losing power. |
| High
Quality Video Projector: If you decide to create a special video
(for example, a highlight video of your conference or training session, or
training or motivation videos to be shown at the conference), you can choose to
project it on our nine-foot
screen. We use a high quality Video
Projector to show your story, leaving an indelible impression of your
event! |

the
speakers, as
needed. For many people and situations, this is much better than
having to worry about wired mics.
