Producing the Video

Producing the Video

Our videos are a collaborative effort between the scriptwriter and videographer, both of whom work with the storyteller to make the experience rewarding and the product superb.

Creating a video involves much more than the videographer's proficiency with camera, lights and microphones. He or she is also a creative director who arranges a setting that is both attractive and comfortable, advises on clothing that plays to the camera, and frames and focuses shots so they flatter the subject and engage the viewer.

There is honor in looking back and respecting the past.

—Steven Spielberg

Following the shoot the videographer edits the tape and sound track, digitizes still photographs provided by the storyteller, selects music and other special effects and integrates these with the storyteller's words. The result is a DVD (or VHS tape) that honors the storyteller and entertains his family and friends.

In short, our videographers are part creative artists, part technological wizards.
