Features & Services
 
Camera:
Most consumer video cameras use one microchip (CCD) to capture an image and translate that image to tape. For you we use the Panasonic NV MD10000 which uses three CCDs (one for each colour signal; Red, Green and Blue) giving you the highest quality to capture you special day.  These cameras deliver excellent creativity and quick response. A videographer with a smaller camera may look more like a guest with a camera and less like a production crew.

Videotape:
There are more than a dozen videotape formats available, and the only ones worth considering are digital.  West Coast Productions produce your recording and editing at a professional level ensuring that your output will be digital DVD format worthy of Hollywood.

Lighting:
If your event is indoors most videographers will need to use a light, even if their camera is good in low light conditions. If they don’t use a light indoors, the quality will be sub-standard.  The video cameras used by West Coast to record your day work well in low-light even dark conditions to ensure every detail of your big day is captured the way you want it.

Sound:
Realizing that your finished wedding videotape is more than just that, it is an audiotape as well, the audio portion of your video is equally important to the video and in some instances more important.  We use the finest audio equipment to create a digital audio output as well as a digital image.

Editing:
With scores of editing systems on the market there is really no way to discuss the differences between systems, formats and components, and no real reason to either.
While a whole lot more could be said about editing, let it suffice to say, that your event video will be much more entertaining and fun to watch if it is edited. Conversely, if your video isn’t entertaining and fun to watch, why have one?

Style:
Style can describe the personal camera techniques used by your videographer when recording your wedding, or the techniques he uses when editing your finished wedding video but rest assured your video will be tailored to suit your style exactly.

Experience:
This is an easy subject. The more experience your videographer has producing videos of weddings like yours the better. Note I didn’t say, “the more experience your videographer has,” period. A professional, talented and experienced television producer would have just as tough a time producing a good event video, as a videographer would producing a TV show,  but needless to say with West Coast Productions your special day is in the safest of hands.
