Are you a commercial studio or a home-based business?
We are a small (actually, we prefer the term, "elite") home-based business. This enables us to keep overhead costs down and then we pass the savings down to the clients.
What types, such as unedited footage or special effects, of videography do you offer?
Unedited footage is included with all packages, in case you want to play with it later. Our edited version is typically movie-length (1.5 to 2 hours). We offer multiple camera shoots (in fact we prefer to shoot with 2 cameras so that nothing is missed and so the edit flows well). We include basic, non-cheesy, special effects.
Describe any special editing services you offer:
We spend 50-60 hours editing, uploading, re-editing and authouring your movie. The edit process is incredibly important to us. We upload the first draft of your wedding to a private website, so you can approve the cut before we commit to disc. If there are some changes you want made (like if there is a shot of a cousin you hate that you want out of there), we'll make the changes, get your final approval and then we'll burn to disc.
Do you have lighting equipment to accommodate a more dimly-lit event?
Yes, when it's called for, we have full lighting kits for any lighting situation.
How many videographers do you work with?
At the moment, we have a team of 4 videographers and 1 editor, but we are growing.
Does the client get to meet the videographers before the event?
The bride meets with the video editor, Nishi, who is also the project manager and business owner. As a client, you only have to deal with one person at Night Day. It becomes more stressful if you have to interact and coordinate with the whole crew; so Nishi will take care of that for you.
Do you have a replacement videographer in case you become unavailable on the event day?
We have a small team in place, as well as backup equipment; so if someone gets sick, there is someone ready to fill in.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
Broadcast quality 3CCD cameras, lighting kit, wireless lavaliere microphone.
Do you give access to your raw footage?
Raw footage on DVD is included with every wedding package.
Do you reserve the right to use the video in the future for promotions, contents, etc.?
Yes.
Is the client involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does the client have in editing?
Yes. And so is the groom :)

How long does it take for the client to get the final video?
6-8 weeks, sometimes less.
