Frequently Asked Questions
- What is High Definition & Blu-ray’s
When a DVD is played on new HDTV’s a lot of quality is lost because you are enlarging a very small image onto a large surface which causes pixelation – to address this High Definition video came to be. Containing more than twice the quality of Standard Definition, High Definition gives a sharp, colourful image that look almost life like. To contain all this extra information a new format was created called Blu-ray which physically looks like a DVD but has the ability to store more than 6 times the amount of data & requiring a special player to read the information. In short Blu-ray = awesome quality.
- Won’t I see all my wrinkles & freckles in HD?
This is one of the most asked questions from brides and no you don’t, besides having a professional make-up artist enhance your beauty we also make use of industry standard colour grading software that analysis skin tones & soften them with beautiful results.
- How long do I have to wait & Why does editing take so long?
Post Production is the heart of creating your wedding film & can take up to five months to complete. Full High Definition video requires a lot of horse power, we colour grade, preview & adjust your entire film from start to finish frame by frame with specialised software this process is slowed down more so by the fact that professional colour grading takes more than 400% longer to process.
Our secret ingredient is colour grading & it’s a recipe with stunning results worth the wait.
- Why do you have to use lights?
Light is the blood which camera’s require to function without light colours fade, shadows hide important details and overall quality is lost forever. Mastering light is one of the biggest challenges to great looking video, from blockbuster wedding films to your home video – light makes it all possible. We put a lot of effort into lighting our scenes to reduce the visible impact to the atmosphere created at your wedding however we cannot film without light, it’s a scientific limitation of sight and directly related to quality.
- Are you invisible?
We are visible at weddings however we dress for the occasion doing our best not to be obtrusive.
- Do you get along with photographers?
We love working with professional photographers! Coming from a photography background we understand how important a single moment can be. Working together with a common goal to serve you the client – 80% of our bookings are word of mouth from a photographer we’ve worked with.
- Why don’t you offer photography as a package deal?
Quality sets us apart, our objective is to film and deliver a product that is incredibly well produced in order to achieve this we specialise in our field.
- Do you require a meal at the reception?
Yes, we request seating & a meal for every member of our crew, we are flexible on arrangements however we usually start working extremely early barely having time for breakfast not stopping for breaks, standing on our feet for hours in order to capture as much as possible – by the time the reception starts we are exhausted & starving.
