Q:
Why should I hire a videographer?
A: Imagine if you had the choice of watching the story of your
parents' or grandparents' wedding ~ either on crystal clear
video in stereo sound, or viewing it in a photo album. Which
would you choose? One of the biggest regrets couples experience
after their wedding is their decision not to have a professional
video. And while photography is equally important, photos don't
talk. Photos won't tell you what was said during your ceremony,
or how special the toasts were, or how your parents, grandparents,
and loved ones all danced happily together at your reception.
Only video is able to capture these special moments. And now
with DVD, these memories can be preserved forever.
Q:
Will you be obtrusive or interfere with my wedding?
A: Our shooting style allows us to remain virtually invisible,
while still capturing exciting and dynamic footage. Our main
concern is always to make you and your guests feel comfortable,
and not to interfere with the flow of your wedding.
Q:
Do you use those annoying bright lights?
A: We use state-of-the-art digital video cameras that are so
light sensitive that we can manipulate ambient/natural light
to our advantage ~ without having to use camera lights. We only
have to use lights in an extremely dark situation ~ such as
a dimly lit reception hall.
Q:
What kind of cameras do you use?
A: Clients ask us this question quite frequently. Usually because
they have heard several opinions from several videographers,
who all think that their camera is the best.
We
use exclusively the latest Sony Broadcast Digital 3CCD cameras
in the Pro DVCAM format. These amazing cameras are more light
sensitive than the human eye, thus, in most cases, eliminating
the need for a camera light. The image quality is clear and
crisp and a vast improvement over the older analog formats.
This is a once in a lifetime event, so do not settle for anything
less than the best format available today.
Q:
Who will be the videographer at my wedding?
A: You can rest assured that your wedding video will be personally
planned, shot, edited, and produced by a seasoned professional
from our staff.
Q:
Can I purchase the raw footage in addition to the edited video?
A: Yes, but most often you won't need to. We include every single
important moment of your day in the edited video, so you won't
really be gaining much by viewing the raw footage. 
Q:
Can we select music for our videos?
A: Yes! Music sets the mood and tone for your entire video.
We give every bride and groom the opportunity to choose their
own music. If you can't decide what music you want to use, we
have a list of songs you can choose from our own library of
CD's.
Q:
How long will it take to finish the video?
A: In order to give your wedding individual attention, please
allow for 3-3 1/2 months for completion of your video.
Q:
How long will the finished video be?
A: Your video will be a maximum of 2 hours in length.
Q:
Why is DVD better than VHS?
A: Yes! Please see our DVD
Mastering page for more information
Q:
How soon before your wedding should you contact us?
A: Popular dates fill up very quickly. We recommend booking
as soon as possible. Some couples book Unique Video as early
as 2 years in advance.
