Why HD and Why 5.1 Surround Sound?

HD and Surround Sound

It’s not just for movies anymore! That’s right, High Definition and 5.1 surround sound are the broadcast standards… and there is a very good reason for both… CLARITY.

Cutting Edge Technology

Cutting Edge Editing Suite

Customers are always looking to save money and anyone who knows ANYTHING about business knows that time equals money. We have taken this to heart as well as our clients concerns about money and have built out our technology info structure with this in mind.

This can only be done in real time so for instance if you shot 12 hours of footage on a project someone will have to spend a minimum of 12 hours capturing the footage not to mention time for switching tapes, cataloging and correcting drop outs. We have eliminated this process by moving to Sony's XDCAM file based format.

Live Performance Video

Digital Vineyard - Don Derby Production

Live Productions are a bit "heavier" on the camera and lighting side - This four camera video shoot with Don Derby at 2602 Soundstage in Nashville, is a perfect example. For Don's executive showcase to the Nashville Music Industry executives, we brought a little more fire-power to the set. We had two chances to capture the performance (once in rehearsal and once before a live audience). Along with maintaining the highest standard of production quality, our other production goals included minimizing the number of times the band had to dress rehearse each song, and "getting it right the first (and only) time in front of the intended live audience. We achieved these and all other production goals for our client.
