High Definition Television

We have been shooting High Definition Television for six years and understand the many nuances involved in making spectacular television. Our primary camera is a SONY HD 700a (1080i) camera since 1999. It takes beautiful high-resolution pictures that make you and your productions look great.

We have also used the SONY F900 24p camera. This camera can record images at 24 frames per second, the same as a traditional film camera. If this is what you want, we can get it for your productions.

Are you using the new HDV format? If you are we can too. We have access to several cameras and can get what you need, just ask.

Standard Definition Television

We still work with standard definition video all the time. We can offer you several different formats including DigiBeta, BetaSP, DVCam.

Each format has unique benefits that should be considered when planning your project. Contrary to what you may have read, standard definition video will be used for several more years. If that's what you require, we can help you.

It's the Story, Not
The Equipment

It's easy to get caught up in all the technology... camera formats, resolution, HD, frame rate and so on...but it's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is the story! Make the story the best it can be and the technology will be transparent. We can make any of these technologies work for you.
