Winston Productions provides high end video production
services for weddings, television commercials, municipal
documentaries, corporate presentations, political
campaigns, educational videos, instructional videos,
gospel videos, musical videos and assemblage of video
portfolios. Winston Productions, in conjunction with
Winston Web World, Inc.'s other photographic
departments, which includes its still image photography
division, its image conversions division, and its
audio/sound division, provides a complete photographic
solution. Our normal service coverage area includes the
entire area of Georgia known as "West Georgia".
However, we are currently, or have in times past been,
booked as far away as Panama City Beach, Florida for a
wedding and Pensacola, Florida for a documentary video
capture.
We
recognize the fact that numerous types of events do not
allow for "re-takes" and therefore must be captured on
the first attempt. An example of the typical "one-shot"
event would be a wedding because very few couples would
be in favor of repeating the ceremony. In order to
ensure the complete capture of your events; Winston
Productions offers several video packages. We utilize
cameras from industry leaders such as Canon, Sony and
Panasonic. Our main cameras are the, Canon XL-1S and
two Canon XL-2s, each of these cameras are broadcast
quality with three CCDs. All three of our primary
Canon cameras have been equipped with digital hard
drives thereby allowing direct digital recordation. We
also utilize two Sony digital camcorders, equipped with
digital hard drives for area captures and high elevation
captures. Utilization of digital hard drives help to
eliminate the common failure of tape and the frequency
of video head failure. On numerous occasions; three
cameras are utilized to simultaneously capture the main
part of the ceremony, wireless audio receivers are
commonly attached to each of these primary cameras in
order to insure simultaneous capture of the audio and
video. We have, in times past, also captured the
audio portion (vows) via a wireless receiver and a
laptop computer, thereby providing four capturing
devices. Additional cameras are commonly,
strategically, located in order to capture such events
as the couple exiting the chapel, entering the reception
area and capturing the events at the place of
departure. Having numerous cameras capturing various
aspects of the wedding allows for a complete production
because it is physically impossible for a camera
operator to always have the ability to move through the
crowd of people and be ahead of the bride and groom.
Particular cameras may capture hours of coverage in
order to be ready for a three minute event, but without
this preparation the memories would be lost forever. We
are fully aware of the fact that we can not include or
edit footage that was not captured.
During Winston Productions' editing process the data
from each camera will be retrieved and transferred onto
computers which are equipped with premium video cards,
digital video software, audio editing software and which
are attached to thirty two inch, high definition,
monitors. The combination of premium hardware and
software enables the editors to view collected images
and to view shadows and images which are not visible
with lesser equipment. The preferred video segments,
any desired still images, background music, audio
segments and titles are inserted into the presentation
and burned onto a minus R (-R) formatted DVD. All of
Winston Productions' captures are in 16:9 (commonly
known as “Widescreen”) format. When the event is
captured in 16:9 it allows for full image exposure even
though we can, and do, offer the production in 4:3
(currently majority of televisions). |
