We specialize in the finest quality videotaping for Recitals and Theatrical Performances using state-of-the-art video and sound equipment.

Videotaping recitals and performances is an art form in itself.  Changes in lighting (both in color and intensity) and the complexity of capturing all of the audio (music, audience reactions, tap dancing, etc.) provide many challenges in the production of the video.  

Videotaping dance, for example, requires more than simple operation of a camera.  Each camera operator is responsible for a specific portion or each routine (i.e.:  framing the entire stage or following a particular dancer, or group of dancers, with a closer view, isolating them from the rest of the stage).  The director is responsible for coordinating each camera shot and selecting the best one for each aspect of the routine.  Capturing audio from the music, tap dancing (for tap routines), and audience applause requires multiple microphones and line feeds blended together at the appropriate levels for optimum sound.

Our many years of experience in capturing "live" events has prepared us for mastering these challenges.  Our professional digital cameras are exceptional when it comes to adjusting to the changes in the color and brightness of stage lighting.  We use "backup" videotapes in each camera to ensure a quality recording.  The audio equipment we use provides the cleanest sound available.  There is only ONE chance to capture it right!

"I have received only positive feedback from the recital videos.  Thank you very much!  I look forward to working with you again." Dawn D. - Coronado Academy of Dance

	All of our videos are recorded and edited digitally to ensure the best picture and sound quality possible.  Most video companies are still using SVHS (analog) cameras to save them money and increase their profit.  Colors that appear to "bleed" or "smear" are typical results from analog cameras.  Digital cameras produce clean images.
