Focal Point Digital Media does an AMAZING job on their viedography. The emotion that is captured through the video makes you remember that special day forever. I don't know how they do it, but I have never seen one of their videos where I did not tear up! They are frendly and flexible. Amazing, amazing work. |

How do you
identify your style?
Our style is artistic and cinematic... definitely not your "average" wedding video. We are recipients of the wedding videography industry's top award, and it is really worthwhile to spend a few minutes to view samples at our website at www.focalpointvideo.biz. Experience the difference! |
Are you a
commercial studio or home-based business?
We are a full-time retail studio, and would love to have you visit at any time! Please call or email to set an appointment. |
Which types of
videography do you offer?
We always use multiple cameras and every video package we offer showcases both our award-winning cinematic short-form edit for your main feature AND a full-length edit of your ceremony and major events of the reception. This unique approach sets us apart from the rest, and equals an outstanding value for your wedding dollar. |
Describe any
special editing services you offer:
In addition to our standard coverage packages we also offer many custom options including Same-Day-Edits, Theatrical Trailers, Love Stories, Director's Commentaries, Bridal Showcase videos, Photo Montages and more. Please see our website for details. |
Do you have
lighting equipment to accomodate a more dimly-lit event?
We have very small 10-watt on camera lights to provide additional lighting at receptions when necessary. |
Does the bride
get to meet the videographers before the wedding?
Absolutely! We typically meet to initially view samples and book your date, and then again closer to the wedding to discuss your specific itinerary and final details. |
How many
videographers do you work with?
Our staff includes two lead videographers plus two assistants, allowing us to simultaneously produce two weddings on popular dates. |
Do you have a
replacement videographer in case you become unavailable on
the wedding day?
Yes, although in over 150 weddings it's never once been an issue. |
Do you bring
back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes, we bring multiple professional cameras and lenses, multiple professional wireless mics, spare batteries, and spare recording media...so don't worry: you're covered! |
Do you charge
overtime?
We offer the option of adding additional time on the day of the wedding, but it's always entirely at the option of the couple and is rarely required since our packages are quite generous with included time. |
Do you give
access to your raw footage?
Yes, for a small additional fee. |
Is the bride
involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does
the bride have in editing?
Brides are welcome to have as much input as they wish regarding music selections and overall style/feel, but the actual cut-by-cut editing decisions are ours. This expertise is precisely what you're paying us for. =) |
How long does
it take for the bride to get the video?
Our turnaround varies depending upon what part of the year your wedding date falls on, but we work very hard to stay current and our turnaround generally is 3-6 months. |
Additional Questions and Answers
What Sets a Focal Point Wedding Video Apart From the Rest?
THE DIFFERENCE EXPLAINED
• We’d Rather Do One Thing Well. It might seem simplistic, but we just genuinely love weddings and it shows in our work. They are the one and only thing we film, exclusively. While we don’t try to be all things to all people, we do strive to be exceptional at one thing: creating the most stirring, authentic, and artistic wedding videos possible. It’s the biggest day of your life and it will only come once, so trust your wedding memories to the highly specialized experience of Focal Point Digital Media.
• A Low Key, Unobtrusive Presence. To the extent possible, we prefer to keep out of the way and to not stage shots but instead to capture a more organic record of your most important day. We try very hard to let your wedding day unfold as you intended and to keep the attention focused on you, not us.
• Full-Time Studio. Full-Time Experience. We are not a part-time or home-based side business, but a full-time professional studio with over 150 weddings filmed at venues throughout the region. We have no other job commitments, no distractions, and no other priorities beyond creating outstanding wedding videos. Our comfortable studio alongside the Willamette River exists to serve our clients, and you are welcome and encouraged to visit.
• Award-Winning Productions. We were recently honored as the Northwest's only 2007-2008 WEVA Creative Excellence Award winning studio, our industry's most competitive and highest peer recognition. As a regional leader within our niche, you can be assured that we strive to remain on the cutting edge of creativity and artistry in our productions. For additional information about our Creative Excellence Award click here.
• Happy Past Customers. The greatest part of our job is experiencing the response of our clients upon receiving their completed wedding DVDs. Seeing a couple laugh and cry together while watching their video for the first time, or hearing about a dad’s reaction to seeing his Father-Daughter dance onscreen makes the many late hours of editing extremely worthwhile. Scores of unsolicited comments from past clients are available by clicking here, visiting WeddingWire.com, or we will gladly provide specific references upon request.
• Our Signature Cinematic Short-Form Edit & Full-Length Edit, Both Included for No Extra Cost. Your completed wedding video features both our highly polished, deeply moving short-form edit of your wedding day as well a full-length "exactly as it occurred" version of your wedding ceremony and the major events of the reception. Whether you wish to be swept by the emotional imagery of the cinematic edit, or sit back and relive every single word that was spoken, it's truly the best of both worlds!
• Professional Equipment. We shoot using extremely high-end Canon camcorders, resulting in lusciously drenched colors, exquisite detail, powerful close-ups and excellent low-light sensitivity. Audio is provided by up to six professional UHF wireless microphones--almost unnoticeable and yet sensitive enough to pick up a whisper, they result in crystal clear, lifelike sound.
• Multi-Camera Coverage, Standard. No risk of missing a shot that won't come again like with a single camera! All of our standard wedding packages include the redundancy and expanded perspective of at least two live-operated professional cameras, as well as an unmanned third camera for the wedding ceremony. HD filming and delivery available.
• All-Digital Production & Editing. Editing is done in our 100% digital Final Cut Studio non-linear editing suite, including editing, color correction, sound, music, motion graphics, titling and visual effects seamlessly orchestrated to fit your particular project. And since it’s completely digital there is no loss of quality compared with the original footage.
• Highest Quality DVD Media Available, Bar None. The bride and groom's final video is transferred onto exclusive hardcoated 24K gold medical-grade archival DVD media that far outlasts standard DVDs. This media is literally 100x more scratch resistant and 3x more UV resistant than standard professional-grade DVDs. Rest assured, your memories will be safe for generations.
• Complimentary DVDs for Parents. Besides yourself and your fiancé, no one is likely to be more interested or more involved in your wedding than your parents. Each set of parents receives their own custom-packaged copy of your finished wedding DVD to cherish, free of charge.
• Active Members of WEVA International. We belong to the Wedding & Event Videographers Association International (WEVA), the largest and most recognized organization of professional wedding videographers worldwide. We adhere fully to their high ethical and professional standards and actively participate in their continuing education and national conferences yearly, keeping us on the cutting edge in our industry both regionally and internationally.
