Videography At A Glance

Technology has changed and continues to change and we have addressed all the new opportunities. DVDS are gone. Once the staple for recitals, is no longer the industry norm

Flash Drives are the mechanical choice. Prices range from $32 – $36 per Flash Drive.

5 Day Turn Around Time

Direct Mailing to Parents if Studio Directors prefer not to handle the box of Flash Drives.

Still offer Envelopes to Studios so parents can purchase the show they want in the number of copies. Keeps checks and cash sealed inside the envelopes.

WILL TRAVEL TO

All parts of Massachusetts – Northern Rhode Island – Southern NH

WHAT IF I AM OUT OF STATE ?

Hire a local videographer, retain the SD Card, Mail it to me and I’ll create your Dance Recital Channel. Use the website UPWORK, and place a free add for shooters to do your recital.

COST

One Per Family – it is the simplest format to operate – cheapest cost

WHAT IF…..SOLD TO ONLY THOSE THAT WANT IT ?

No, because the numbers are smaller for sales, so the cost is higher.

Parents have to sign up individually and give a credit card number.

It only works with the email address of those that sign on. They cannot share the link

We Pay for this service based on bandwidth, numbers, but now doing credit cards and extra 15% fee is surcharged. So the cost his going to be higher than flash drives.

ONE PER FAMILY – For all this Amazing Services Provided

  • 20 – 100 Families are on an individual analysis for cost.
  • 100 Families are charged roughly $22 – $24 each
  • 150 Families are charged roughly $20 each
  • 200 families and over are charged roughly $18 each

Each studio is individually calibrated to give the best fee structure.

HISTORY

Next Year 70% of studios now want this incredible service, with others considering it.

EXAMPLES

 

 

Our Team of Videographers

As Dance Studio Directors know, there are just so many dates available for MAY & JUNE.
Every year, we are contacted by studios needing someone to record their recitals.

Multiple Recitals on the Same Day

One day in June, we had 7 recitals on the same day

 

We have a total of 8 professional videographers who are paid well to come out and record recitals. Each has and owns professional gear and have done recitals in the past as wells their own studios.

They arrive 1 hour before the curtain goes up to set up in the best location.

Directors, please give some thought to this. The best location is always BALCONY FIRST ROW, CENTER. They only need 2 seats to set up tripod.

Before your dates, you’ll receive the videographers name, cell phone numbers, my cell phone number.

They will shoot a one show recital, a 2 show recital, and even a 3 show recital.

They meet with me. I pay them and they provide an SD Card with your show on it.

I let each shooter know the GOLDEN RULE of shooting Recitals.

No dancer is left off screen
No Individual Shots as the rest of dancers are missed
Fill up the viewing screen, so dancers appear as big as they can on the TV Screen.

DARK STAGE Equals Dark Video

Just keep in mind, that as directors get creative with shadows and off color lighting, TV requires light to make good video. This is why professionals are used with excellent gear. Any real dark situations are handled in the EDIT.

Creative & Unique Openings & Introductions

As an editor, I Create for you an AMAZING Introduction to your performance. In the coming season, New Technology is coming to BLOW YOUR MIND on how I will OPEN your Show, before the curtain opens up.

I’ve let 2 of my oldest Studios see what I am talking about:

“Oh my goodness, that is amazing” “Wow !!!”

For more information, contact me about dates, how many families you represent for doing Downloads.

If you want to do Flash Drives, I require a minimum of 30 Sold PER SHOW to cover all the expenses of the shooter and editing, flash drive purchases, reformatting, Loading each individual Flash Drive for your order.

The number of calls each year has been increasing as studios shift dates and their videographers are already booked. Or, their videographers drop them for better paying gigs. Mostly, videographers do a bad job.

Check out Bulletin Boards, I am told that is the place my name is mentioned with the highest references.

NO ONE….is offering the Introduction graphics I provide, as I go above and beyond to provide satisfaction for families, studio directors and how excited all the dancers get not only to dance, but to see themselves perform.

I look forward in hearing from you.
