Through The Lens
Broadcast media is a rapidly changing environment, and visual inclination is in the forefront of the developments. Our technical proficiency, experience, unrelenting attention to detail and true passion for innovation deliver cutting edge broadcast productions. We work closely with producers through the following steps to meet broadcasters’ requirements:
Consultation & Shooting
The earlier you plan your production’s workflow, the better. Before a single frame is exposed, we discuss with you the pros and cons of various shooting formats and editing platforms to find the best solution for your needs. Our consultation will guarantee the most efficient workflow for your project.
Our shooting team is experienced and adept in a wide variety of formats. We have worked in several mediums from DV to XDCAM HD and Super8 to 16 mm. With years of experience in both broadcast and corporate videos behind us, we won’t miss the key shot you are looking for.
Editing
We have accomplished editors who will take your project through every step of the process, from bringing in your footage, through timeline assembly and into a lean, seamless picture lock. Our assistant editors are thoroughly experienced with logging and will provide you with an extremely detailed and searchable tape log – a vital tool for paper edits.
With our state of the art Final Cut Studio-based correction suite, we take any format and extract the look you want from it. From matching colours on a multi-camera shoot to full image restoration and motion graphics, we provide all the online services your production needs.
Content Delivery
Whether delivering on DigiBETA, HDCAM or over the internet, we work closely with producers to fully understand and achieve the requirements of the broadcaster. Our experience with complex contracts will ensure you have a clear path for delivering your content. One of the growing demands of broadcaster contracts is web-based content. We will oversee all online content for either your broadcaster’s web page, or your own direct-to-viewer delivery.
If you need remote access to media files, we offer multiple secure user accounts and transcoding to make the process easier and faster. With our guidance, enjoy easy access to and control of your files with very little maintenance.
Finally, our high-quality DVD mastering will bring the best out of your productions and into your viewers’ homes. From elegant menu designs to motion–graphic backgrounds and transitions, we make sure your project is professionally handled to the very end.
