Are you a commercial studio or a home-based business?

What types, such as unedited footage or special effects, of videography do you offer?
Depending on the client's needs and budget, we can accommodate for any situation or desire.
Describe any special editing services you offer:
We offer a cinematic style of editing to our clients.
This style has become very popular and most of our clients are requesting it. Although, it seems that the parents are more interested in the longer traditional editing style, we can provide both.
Do you have lighting equipment to accommodate a more dimly-lit event?
Yes, however, unless the client suggest that we introduce additional lighting, generally for most events only a ten watt camera light is what we will use. In the event that lights are required, we will use selective lighting that will enhance the ambience not interfere with the ambience.
How many videographers do you work with?
I work with several videographers, but it depends on the situation. Also, additional staff may be present depending on the level and magnitude of the event.
Does the client get to meet the videographers before the event?
In most cases, yes and depending on the situation.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
In most cases, yes.
Do you book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
Typically, I don't double book myself on the same day.
Do you have a replacement videographer in case you become unavailable on the event day?
Yes
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
Broadcast DV Cameras or HDV Cameras depending on what the client booked. Wireless mics, tripod(s), lighting, tape stock, reliable transportation.
Do you bring backup equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
Generally, only one and that's during the time we are eating.
Do you charge overtime?
Our packages are based on time. And in the case that the event goes beyond the hours allotted, then yes. An hourly rate will be charged.
Do you give access to your raw footage?
Yes
Do you reserve the right to use the video in the future for promotions, contents, etc.?
Yes, but we will ask before doing so.
Is the client involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does the client have in editing?
Although we listen to the bride's suggestions when we first meet and we may collaborate before and after the event, i DREAM Productions, Inc. takes creative control during the editng process.
How long does it take for the client to get the final video?
The time frame may vary. Once the bride provides us with all the elements needed to complete their production then we begin the actual editing process.
Typically 3-6 months if the bride provides us with all the elements needed. We are very thorough when it comes to editing your wedding. i DREAM Productions, Inc. would rather take a little longer to produce an award winning keepsake than to "slap" something together in a short period of time just for the sake of getting it done and into your hands.
