Sports Scholarship Video FAQ's

Q) Can you put our program on DVD?

A) Absolutely! We can simply transfer your final video to DVD or we can provide you with a custom DVD interface complete with menus, chapter points, etc. Just call us for a custom quote on DVDs.
Q) How long should our Sports Scholarhip Video (SSV) be?

A) Generally no longer than fifteen minutes and as a rule, the shorter the better. We live in a very fast-paced society, so make your video short and sweet.

Q) How much will our SSV cost?

A) That's a good question! If you follow our guidelines and are well prepared, you could expect your video to take about 3 to 6 hours in editing. It is our goal, however, to complete your project in the shortest time possible while providing the highest possible quality.
Feel free to call us for an estimate of your project. And remember, editing is FUN. It will be an educational and enjoyable experience for you.

Q) Do we have to be there for our edit session?

A) Not Necessarily. Many of our clients are able to drop off their projects and give us detailed directions so we can edit their video on our own. This ca really be a time saver for you. When we are done you simply come back for a viewing and approval or we can send you an approval tape.

Q)What makes an effective sports video?

A) Well, the first requirement is good video. Ideally you should have us shoot some video of your athlete playing his/her sport which adds a touch of professionalism.

Summertime - and the DVDs are Easy

You've probably noticed that your video camera becomes your constant companion in the summertime. Ball games, barbecues and beaches. Fireworks, friends and family vacations. All those moments from summers past have produced mountains of memories. Life's precious memories that are "somewhere" in a truckload of tape. How do you manage it all? Let us sort out the summers past and plan the summer ahead with a delightful presentation called a FamilyTIME £ Video. What's a FamilyTIME Video? We're glad you asked! A FamilyTIME video is a three to five minute fast-moving DVD edited together from your existing video, sorted by subject and bundled together with your favorite song. For example, "Baby's First Year" might be a four minute presentation with an appropriate song playing under it. What an emotional piece - and your family will love it! Our experience reveals that people enjoy videos that, like a good meal, are prepared, seasoned and presented on a silver platter. Let us help you take your very best shots, group them by subject, add titles and a few special effects, put appropriate music underneath it all and create a concise, powerful video masterpiece. Best of all, you get a FamilyTIME DVD to show now - and we can keep your videos on file to be updated. Have beaches always been a part of your summer? Distill your best footage into a five minute DVD, incorporate titles (Everything is Just Beachy?) and complete it with beach music. Does summer include traveling and visiting friends? Narrow down the most poignant moments of each past reunion; add some special effects (Slow Motion might be good) and make a moving tribute using a heartwarming song as the soundtrack. What a great gift to bring with you as you revisit them this summer. Kids in Little League? How impressive is a fast-moving documentary of every hit set to a baseball tune? Start with their very first year and show them growing in stature and skill - all the way to today. And when the summer's over add this current season! Don't forget, we can make one tape transfer or one copy as well. No job is too big or too small. Call us today to learn how you can document the days of summer past and future into a bite-sized FamilyTIME video masterpiece.

On the Verge

We are on the verge of something, of what we are not sure. Starting a business during these economic times is daunting at least and challenging at best. My timing is questionable but I have to say in my darkest times I feel secure in the fact that I won't be laid off. The dynamics of being self employed are well known, the employees are lazy and the boss in an asshole. The journey has been one of self discovery, educational, enlightening and what the fuck was I thinking. I am wearing three hats, technician, manager and entrepreneur. The problem is I have just the one head.

A new favorite product has been Keepsake Videos, photos and video put to music for anniversaries, birthdays and the general celebration of life set to music. I have enjoyed the compilation of milestones and signposts of strangers' lives and my unique ability to manipulate and elicit, I hope, some emotion with these short stories. Sorting through stacks of snaps and slides, digging through digital archives of the past. A voyeuristic endeavor that satisfies the entrepreneur and the technician.

The L.E.S.T.A. project has been mired in red tape and bureaucratic. I long for guerrilla film making, stolen locations and signed releases after the fact. I shall overcome but I am still looking for ideas, any suggestions?
