What types, such as unedited footage or special effects, of videography do you offer?
All of our wedding videos are edited. Unedited video, even when performed by a professional will always have an amateurish quality, that moment when you were zooming in quickly to get a kiss, or running to catch the bride and groom leaving the church. Editing takes the poor video out. What you're left with is a piece that is much more attractive and that flows beautifully.
Describe any special editing services you offer:
We use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 video editing software.
Does the client get to meet the videographers before the event?
We attempt to meet for a free consultation before the wedding in order to thoroughly plan the event. We also attend the rehearsals so that we can plan for contingencies, before they become an emergency.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Once we have booked the event and received the deposit that date is yours. We only do one wedding a weekend.
Do you book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
We do one wedding a weekend only, so that we can give our clients the kind of attention their special event deserves.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
Sony digital cameras, tripods and microphones. We also have on-camera ligthing equipment should the event warrant additional lighting. We do not light the wedding ceremony itself. We believe a wedding is a religious event between two people, not a reality show. We, therefore, do not believe in lighting the actual ceremony. We use professional grade camera equipment that is better in low light situations. That said, if your event is scheduled for the night and lit only by candlelight it probably will not produce video of passing quality.
Do you charge overtime?
No. I want to make my customers happy, not nickel and dime them for every moment I've spent past my contractual time or every tape I've used over the usual number.
Do you reserve the right to use the video in the future for promotions, contents, etc.?
Yes, Bianco Spirito reserves the right to use video, either in part or in its entirety, for promotional purposes, unless otherwise negotiated by the client.
Is the client involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does the client have in editing?
I want the bride and groom involved in the process. In the end the video is about them and for them. Obviously that means finding out what they forsee in their very special video.
