Is it digital quality ?
The final picture quality we provide is of the highest order simply saying it is digital is not the whole story many people produce weddings on digital domestic cameras, these usually provide good pictures in optimum lighting conditions but when the light is against you these usually fail to deliver satisfactory pictures. Lenses play a key role in capturing sharp images with good colour range only 2/3rd’s broadcast lenses can do this. Image compression with digital videography is undertaken and if pictures are over compressed poor image quality will result this is often seen by amateurs who only possess low budget PC editing set-ups. We only use Digital broadcast quality cameras and lenses to gain the best picture quality. The post production stage (editing) is all carried out on broadcast AVID standard equipment again providing a picture and sound track of the highest order.

What is Widescreen and do I need it?
Widescreen is the modern format for TV sometimes referred to as 16:9 this is the aspect ratio, the older style tv is 4:3 aspect ratio it just looks more square. We can produce in either format however widescreen looks better and can be played correctly on both TV types. All Modern TV's will be widescreen and we provide this at no extra cost.

What will the duration of the final film be?
The key thing to remember here is that you want a wedding film that is enjoyable to watch and tells a story so running times are slightly irrelevant. However they are affected by such things as the length of the ceremony and speeches, the number of guests, and any additional events taking place. The average wedding film lasts between 50minutes & 1 hour thirty minutes.

How long will it take before I get my Wedding Film?
It is important that you provide us with all the relevant soundtracks that you want us to use before you go on your honeymoon. As this allows us to start the editing process as soon as we have filmed the day. Generally speaking the wedding DVD’s are completed within 2-3 weeks from the date of wedding day.
You can also have special excerpts edited and uploaded onto our web server for viewing by friends and family.
We can also provide a highlight video for your mobile phone and IPOD player too (charges applicable)
