Language Translation:
Among the more intriguing new services we will be able to offer is Language Translation, specifically for video. As we become more and more bilingual as a nation, the demand for "dual" video presentations, i.e., videos in both English and Spanish, for example, are becoming more prevalent. Our studio will be able to "translate" a video production from English to Spanish or vice versa relatively fast and very affordably. In fact, we will be able to translate into virtually any common language in the near future.

Documentary Style Corporate Video:
Of particular interest to businesses is what we call our Documentary Style Corporate Video. Often, a business owner would like to have a corporate video, but the first step - writing a script – seems overwhelming. We have created a process that makes the seemingly difficult task of producing a documentary very simple. We actually work backwards! After a brief fact-finding meeting with the client, we shoot and edit film before doing the script and voice over (narration). It may seem odd, but it really works!" Furthermore, each production is "customized" so that it has a unique look and feel, something special for each individual business.

Snap Videos:
A novel idea, Snap Videos are short, corporate "music videos" for promoting a company's image to its customers. We capture customers' photos and edit them to the musical beat. The effect is outstanding: we can produce an "MTV" feel by editing the photos together much faster - instead of the "normal" five or six seconds per photo, we speed up the process to one or two seconds per photo. The customer can have several variations of his or her photo collection for various purposes.

High Concept Videos:
High Concept Videos are, again, very short, very contemporary mini-productions involving a multi-screen, multi-layered video with information coming at the viewer from many different angles, all of the time. For example, we use multiple video in video effect; graphics, crawls, the works! Think about the "look" that most of the news networks are using during their broadcasts - with crawls, pictures in pictures, lots of graphics, a visual cornucopia.

Video to DVD transfer:
This is one of our hottest Profit Centers. Virtually everyone has tapes they cherish, but the tapes are collecting dust in a closet somewhere, slowly deteriorating. Many family and business tapes from the 80s and early 90s are already in danger. Think about all of the business, churches, schools, and other organizations that have hundreds, if not thousands, of programs on videotape. Transfer tapes to DVD and give new life to your memories or training videos.

DVD Authoring:
DVD Authoring is a profit center that goes a giant step beyond simple DVD transfers. We can provide this service for businesses, organizations, and individuals . When we transfer tapes to DVD, we suggest to our customers that they go the extra step and let us create a DVD with chapters, arranged chronologically or by event. Our customers will be able to access these chapters with the touch of a button.
Authoring, therefore, involves adding these “chapters” and other helpful program facilitation to the DVD for the viewer, just as you see on commercially released movies. Some of our owners really get into the intense authoring with chapter markers, custom layouts with motion backgrounds, elaborate menus, and so forth.

Legal Video Services:
We will become the Audio/Video Department of local law offices, investigators, police departments, and insurance companies. It seems as though security cameras are everywhere, and law enforcement officials need help with these tapes all of the time. Furthermore, they usually need multiple copies of the tapes, and they need them fast! Our studio will be able to assist in many cases. We specialize in accentuating audio, pulling video photos from tape, and adding light to dark video.

Video to Computer File Conversion:
The proliferation of the computer and the Internet offers many opportunities for us to convert your videos into formats suitable for computer and Internet distribution. Video to JPEG, Quicktime, MPEG, Windows Media Player are just a few examples. With our equipment package, these conversions are easy.
