Family Geneologies and Community Histories

You don't have to have famous ancestors to have an interesting family or community history. We'll be happy to transfer your old 8mm home movies or VHS video tapes to DVD for you, but why not take it a step further: let us help you scan old family photographs and tape some oral histories or interviews to create a compelling family history that even outsiders might enjoy.  Urban neighborhoods and rural communities can often benefit and bond by doing this, too.

How-to Tutorials, Orientation Videos, and PSAs

For individuals and small businesses, we'll work with you to create instructional and how-to videos to post on your web sites or sell on the Internet. For educational and cultural institutions with heavy public traffic, as well as social service agencies, we offer high-quality programs to explain features, procedures, or rules...so you staff doesn't get carpal-tunnel-of-the-brain repeating basic instructions.
As a rough estimate of what your project might cost, multiply the number of hours of actual production time (set-up and shooting) by 5 to account for post-production labor, i.e., logging and reviewing footage, editing, burning a rough-cut review copy, making final edits, and burning the final DVD and printing the disc and case; then, multiplying the total hours by $25 an hour.  E.g., A basic single-camera 5-hour shoot that produced a 30 or 60 minute video would take 25 hours and cost approximately $625 (5 x 5 x 25). Blu-ray would be slightly more. A two-camera shoot would cost 1.5 x that of a single camera shoot because of  the additional footage to review and log as well as the additional camera operator. All projects are shot in full HD, 1920 x 1080, at a 4:2:2 color ratio, unless another format and/or resolution is requested.
