BHS will work to
balance your budget and your desires when producing a video of your event.
We use broadcast quality 3-CCD cameras that allow for the quality of picture
seen in most television broadcasts. The DVD you receive will have menu
driven access to various segments of your event.
One thing to remember
about DVD’s: because your event will have small distribution (1, maybe up
to 50 copies), we can only “burn” the DVD’s, not “glass” them (commercial
DVD’s are glass mastered and generally have no compatibility issues.
Glassed DVD’s generally have a minimum quantity of 300 pieces) “Burned”
DVD’s may not play on all players or computers. We test each DVD to ensure
that they will play on our equipment before they leave our studios.
One Camera
Single camera shoots
are the most inexpensive way to go. The visual quality will be as good as
multiple camera shots. However, the angles used in editing will be
limited.
Multiple Cameras
Starting at two
cameras with really no limit to how many you’d like to use, multiple camera
shoots allow for the most flexibility and creativity when editing. Using
more than one camera could allow for picture in picture, screen splits or
other creative editing processes to be used in the final production.
Shooting Your Event
At the ceremony, BHS
will set up a stationary camera in a strategic location as to be able to
capture the most action from the best location. We may need to “recreate”
certain shots. For example, the rings going onto fingers, lighting of the
unity candles, etc. For multiple camera shoots, BHS will have roaming
camera(s) to capture shots and expressions from the bridal party and the
guests.
At the reception, BHS
will setup a stationary camera, probably near the DJ/Band lights to capture
action on the dance floor. Also, we will be stationary for any toasts. BHS
will be mobile for action that happens elsewhere during the evening when not
shooting “staged” events for single camera shoots. For multiple camera
shoots, we have roaming camera(s) capturing other aspects or activities
throughout our time on location.
Audio for your event
will generally be captured by wireless microphones.

particular script and have similar events. Here are some shots that we

time for them.

In trying to keep the
video of your event as beautiful as you’d like to remember, please remember
the following items:
- We prefer not allow
profanity to be included in the final product.
- We prefer not to
include footage of “over served” individuals.
- Anyone who is in
attendance may end up on tape.
- Tell us what you
want. We can provide you with our best, but it’s you that knows!
