If you have a production or event that you would like to record or have recorded, we can assist you in providing information but we do not have the staff at this time to shoot or edit your event.
TIP: One thing to keep in mind with video is that the audio must be good quality. If you are shooting a concert from the back of the room with the microphone on the camera — you will pick up ALL the ambient noises around you — coughing — talking — fidgeting — and not what's on stage. Always position yourself for good audio as well as good visuals.
