Choosing videography that's right for your wedding

 

Choosing a custom video package
 
The Style of Our Videography
 
We have invested in top-of-the-line digital video equipment costing many thousands of dollars. We have selected light camcorders because of their incredible three CCD chips, high resolution and their ability over the older heavier models to be able to actively move at our outdoor weddings beach.
 
We also own one of the newest video editing machines which we chose because of its ability to edit quickly and professionally. You'll find that our videos have a lot of slow motion, long lap dissolves, color and special effects and are highly polished. No one else on Maui does the kind of wedding videos we do at our prices.
 
We are WEVA Members
 
We have been shooting film and videos for many years. We approach video more as a labor of love than just as a business. We are members of WEVA (Wedding & Event Videographers Association) and regularly attend their conventions and seminars to improve our video production values.
 
Our Three Videos
 
We do three basic video productions for our clients, depending upon their interests:
 
The "A" Video -- This video is shot with only a little editing from our editing suite. We do add limited music where needed and do a light editing. Video uses limited dissolves and fades but you'll find the quality of this video is as good as the expensive productions of many of our competitors. The beauty of our "A" video is the low, low price and the fact that you should be able to take it with you when you leave Maui.
 
The "B" Video -- This video is fully edited with many dissolves, some slow motion and professional titles. Editing is done to arrange scenes in the best possible order. Scenes are trimmed when necessary to eliminate awkward action or sound.
 
We edit the footage which we shoot before and after your wedding to your favorite song (which you provide for us on a CD) or we can choose a romantic song from our library. Most couples tell us that this song is the highlight of their video. Your family (and especially your relatives who do not make the wedding) will enjoy viewing it for years to come.
 
The "C" Video -- This video production is far more than just a wedding captured on video. It is a customized "Love Story" for the two of you, set to two of your favorite music selections. We will also include in your video up to eight photographs if they are large (at least 5x7").
 
This video will make you look good, ensuring that you and your new spouse have something to show your friends and family. It will provide inspiration for your relationship for years to come. Here's what one couple had to say about their video:
 
The "D" Video. This wedding production is for couples who want two songs (as in the "C" video above) and they want extra footage taken both of the wedding ceremony (with a second videographer) as well as other special features such as on-camera comments, footage of the bride and groom as they prepare before the wedding, etc.

With the "D" Video you will have two videographers for the wedding ceremony and extra time by your main videographer (up to two and one/half hours). We also allow up to 12 of your still photographs to be included and concentrate on putting into your video all those extra special editing techniques which make our videos so well received. Running time of your video is approximately 25 to 35 minutes.

The "D" video receives the kind of TLC that makes you look good, ensuring that you and your new spouse will have something to show your friends and family that is of exceptional quality. It will provide inspiration for your relationship for years to come.
"We have watched our video time and time again and see more each time. We are so glad that we went with the top video, we would recommend it to everyone. If you save in other areas, splurge and get the video, you won't regret it. Our families are so thankful for our photographs and video, all comments have been positive. They all love the video, and say it is more than they ever imagined it would be. Our memories we have from Hawaii, will be with us all the days of our lives." --Jeff and Leigh Ann Stachowiak

DVD Production of Your Video
 
We have the capability of making your wedding footage into a DVD Production.
 
We shoot your wedding in our digital video format camcorders. That means that the quality of the images we record is excellent. But the standard VHS copies that each package offers are not digital and so a VHS copy manages to capture only half the quality of the digital master. For this reason, we highly recommend that couples upgrade to a DVD Production for their Maui wedding video.
 
A DVD captures all of the quality on our original master which we shoot in. It is an excellent way to preserve your wedding video at a high quality level. DVDs have the distinct advantage (over regular videotape) in that the information on the tape is composed of numbers. Therefore, it never loses it's ability to give clean clear copies of itself no matter how many generations are made.
 
The cost of a DVD Production of your wedding video is only $195 if ordered before your wedding. The cost is $250 if you order it after your wedding ceremony has been taken off of our editing system. The value of a DVD is priceless for most families. Your great, great, grand children should still be able to see your wedding video making it a family heirloom.
 
The DV Master Tape
 
The cost of the MiniDV master is $100 (no matter which video you purchase).
 
The data on your MiniDV master can be copied onto a DVD so that its longevity is unlimited. Because of this fact, the value of the master videotape is important, especially if you do not have a DVD made.
 
But keep in mind that the MiniDV master videotape we use is capable of being reused. We therefore do not keep our tapes longer than six months after the wedding. For this reason, we highly recommend that you buy the master or the DVD while it is still available.
