Production

Image quality

In Hollywood, the cameras move. Sometimes they pan or tilt on a tripod, but frequently cameras in Hollywood move on a dolly, a body mounted stabilizer like a Steadycam, ™ a crane or camera jib. Waterman Video Productions is also equipped with all these kinds of tools, to make our cameras move, so that your video can move it's intended audience.

Whether we're shooting on location, or in the studio, we have the equipment we need to produce images with maximum impact.

Lighting

Lighting is an often overlooked element in many video productions. It's easy to assume that if there is enough light to shoot, you can shoot. Even more important than the amount of light is the quality of light. The fact is that good lighting in film or video, doesn't happen by accident. David Waterman's six and a half years of experience as a studio photographer at his portrait studio, translates well when lighting for video. To appreciate the importance of good quality light, think about the difference between a picture of a person that was taken using a point and shoot camera with a built in flash, and a picture taken at a good portrait studio. There's a reason that the studio portrait cameras don't use a built-in flash and the amount of light needed to expose the film has nothing to do with it. Better quality light gives you a better quality program.

Good Sound

Good sound can make all the difference between a good presentation, and a great one. When recording sound on location, a good selection of microphones is important. The acoustical considerations at different locations dictate the placement and type of microphone needed to capture optimum quality sound. So whether your shoot calls for wired or wireless, shotgun or lavaliere, stereo or mono, we have the mics we need, to do the job right.
