Video Production at Oconee Media Services

Videography is the documentation of live events.

We provide the capability to shoot video in a variety of formats from full HD to SD in a tapeless workflow environment. We offer the ability to shoot in 4:3 or 16:9 screen formats, however; most of our work in the past several years has been in the 16:9 widescreen format.

Whether your event is a dance recital, dramatic performance, wedding, or seminar; we know one certainty, there are no retakes. For us to provide the professional touch your special event deserves, we plan. We prefer a site check in advance. Knowing the lighting, sound, electrical, and facility requirements is paramount to a great shoot. When we explain we will be arriving as soon as the facility opens to setup, the reaction is usually one of surprise. We've been to a lot of events where the videographers are lucky to get setup by curtain. Live events have too many uncontrollable elements to take for granted the controllable ones.

For dance recitals, dramatic performances, and business events we normally use the 3 camera shoot. This has proved to be an excellent method of creating a more exciting edited product. The main camera records most of the action and the two secondary cameras shoot B-roll. For wedding ceremonies, the essence is similar, the two secondary cameras are small enough to tastefully reside almost anywhere, unobtrusively. For the reception, the secondary cameras are setup in an "interview" area, allowing your family and friends to record their sentiments for your DVD.

Post Production is the editing of the video.

Our full service production facility provides high quality and cost effective solutions for the video requirements of our clients. We recently completed aquisition of technologies which allow us to produce Full 1080P High Definition video from camera to Blu-rayâ„¢ Disc. This HD material can also be downconverted to Standard Definition for DVD Discs.

Adobe Production Premium CS5 and Audition 3.0 provide the capability to produce virtually any type of project to a many different end-user formats. Below are a few of the many services we offer.

We shoot dance recitals and performances at no cost to you! We still have some dates available for 2012!

Want to know what sets us apart from the rest? Here are some thoughts:

Pricing? We have a philosophy; if we keep the price lower, more copies will be sold. Suffice to say, we have been 25 to 30% less than the the folks we replaced. And they were replaced because of quality, not price.

Menu Accessibility! Our DVD is designed to play the entire disc, however, each dance is accessable from a scene menu to go direct to that dance. All of our discs are printed, not labelled and have full cover inserts and full size album cases.

Was your videographer setup, white balanced, hooked to the sound board, and ready 1 hour or more before the house opened for seating? We have heard that many videographers a lucky to be ready when the doors open. We can't work that way, we want everything triple checked. If they don't take a direct audio feed from the source at the sound board, you need to let them go, NOW.

Did they record separate tapes in all the cameras? Okay, unless we are intimately in tune with all your music, there is no way to live switch cameras to the music beats. A stage performance is not so critical, yet a dance recital is 45 -60 3 minute performances. No human can watch all the cameras and switch a camera shot to the music without a half second delay. They make a mistake and that's it forever. We used to run tape in every camera, now the cameras record to hard drives and memory cards! We then synchronize the 3 cameras in our editor and cut the shots right on the beats. Sure, it takes a little longer to edit; our clients love the results.
