Frequently Asked Questions
What primary style, such as traditional or documentary, do you identify with?
Our style mixes the audio quality from trained audio engineer with the visual artistry of a 'fly on the wall' cinematographer and tells your story as if it were being told through the eyes of guests. No bright lights or big cameras on shoulders and no unsolicited interviews. Only perfect sound, cinematic camera movements weaved into a fun, romantic, movie.
Are you a commercial studio or home-based business?
Our city showroom and theater is at 1530 Locust Street in the heart of Philadelphia, just two blocks from prestigious Rittenhouse Square. We also entertain prospective clients in our home in Wayne, PA.
What types, such as unedited footage or special effects, of videography do you offer?
We offer anything our clients need, from simple one camera documentary films to full production crews. Raw footage, artistically edited short films, and full length documentaries are available.
Describe any special editing services you offer:
We have the staff to create script to screen productions including the concept videos we offer, called "Youvies". All other corporate, commercial, and industrial productions are handled through Media Wave Video Productions. MWVP.com
Do you have lighting equipment to accommodate a more dimly-lit event?
Professional lighting design is available for just about any venue and budget.
Does the bride get to meet the videographers before the wedding?
Our artists are available by appointment to meet any client, either locally in person or internationally over video chat.
How many videographers do you work with?
Our crews range from one to 4 people, depending on production requirements.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
All of our artists are able to guarantee themselves for a particular event.
Do you book yourself for more than one wedding in a day? Weekend?
We currently produce only two events per day.
Do you have a replacement videographer in case you become unavailable on the wedding day?
Yes, we know just about everyone in the market and most are friends, willing to jump in at a moment's notice. We also constantly train interns and young artists who have gone on to create their own production companies. These folks especially know how we work and can fill in if needed. Everyone is only a text message away. We have never left a client without a crew.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
We bring everything necessary to create the highest quality HD, Super8, and 16mm Film productions. Each production is customized.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
We always have at least one backup camera, sound recorder, microphone, and any lighting gear we might ever need in an emergency.
Do you require a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party provide your meal?
The best time to give us our break is before or right when the guests are eating themselves. In general, we don't shoot people chewing food so it's the best time for us to break as well. Almost all of our client arranges for our meal through the caterer, usually at a 50% discounted rate. Many caterers include the cost of vendor meals in the bill.
How many breaks do you usually take throughout the day?
We usually take a short meal break every 6 hours.
Do you charge overtime?
We charge for most productions over 8 hours, at a fee commensurate with the size of the crew.
Do you give access to your raw footage?
Raw footage is available.
Do you reserve the right to use a video in the future for promotions, contests, etc.?
Many of our clients are private so we leave the decision up to them.
Is the bride involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does the bride have in editing?
While most clients have no interest in being a part of editing their own video, we have done a few client assisted edits.
How long does it take for the bride to get the video?
We offer Same Day Edits, Next Day Edits, Coming Soon Trailers. Depending on the season schedule, delivery times on full length edits range from 4 to 12 weeks.
