. . .THIS IS WHAT WE LOVE TO DO!!!! 

It is our primary focus to provide an excellent wedding video for you, your friends, and family. In an effort to share with you why Catalyst Video Productions should be the one capturing your wedding day, we would like to cover, detail by detail, what goes into our product...

COVERAGE.....
We strongly desire to capture your ENTIRE wedding day experience to tape. When you sit down to watch it, it should be as if you were there again! Coverage typically begins when you do, capturing the preparations of the bride, bridesmaids, groom and groomsmen. We continue taping through the ceremony, covering the location on as many as 3  cameras
. We feel multiple cameras are important because this allows us to focus in the bride and groom, while still capturing  individual shots of immediate family members, bridesmaids, and groomsmen. We have 5 different methods of capturing audio for excellent, professional sound. We don't stop there... Though your ceremony is beautiful and momentous, your video would not be complete without memories from your wedding reception as well. The many smiles, laughs, hugs, tears and congrats caught on tape will flood you with joy as you re-live your day...  Our coverage is done when your family and loved one's have sent you off on your "Happily Ever-after."* . A wedding video is not complete unless we stay till the very end!
*Please talk with us specifically regarding the end of your reception and departure times.

Production...
Our work for you begins when you reserve, and pay your deposit with us. With every wedding client, we offer the option to have a picture video created for you. This picture video can consist of whatever you want....typically pictures of the bride and groom as children, then growing up, and then as a couple. We have personally observed that it can be a powerful addition to have  this playing through your reception, and we will do it for you as part of your wedding package.

...Our work does not finish at the end of your wedding day, it merely continues! After a typical wedding, we will have around 8 hours of footage (3 cameras combined) to go through.  We then creatively and carefully choose the best shots, and assemble them into your wedding video. Our desire is to make the best possible  video for you... one that will be enjoyed even five, ten, or twenty years later. We strive to focus on quality, and for two to three days, we edit, tweak, and perfect your wedding video to the best of our ability... However, with that said, we want your wedding video to be just that, YOUR VIDEO! Just as if you were the one editing it. It is important to us to have an approval copy of your  video available as soon as possible of your ceremony.* Your approval copy is designed with a time-code sequence, which when viewed, allows you to notate ANY changes you might want to make. Also, our editing room is open and available for you to come and make these changes along side us if you so desire.
* Approval copy turn-around time is sometimes subject to current Catalyst workload and obligations.   Approval copies can sometimes take up to four weeks for turn-around. Estimated times will always be discussed with each client.

And More Production...
As we edit, we will save 40-60 pictures from the footage we have shot, and post them onto a web page connected to this web site. This allows you to send a "sneak-peek" link to friends and family to see and enjoy! These pictures can also make up the artwork for your DVD case and cover...all of witch are designed, and submitted with your approval copy. Your DVD contains a full featured menu structure, allowing you to quickly access any point of your wedding video.

The Quality...
We use Broadcast quality cameras (Sony PD-150), and professional wireless microphone systems. We record onto the best quality DVD media you can get.  We edit our videos digitally on top-of-the-line editing equipment.

The Quantity...
We want your wedding experience to be enjoyed by those who are closest to you. Once you have viewed your approval copy, and the changes have been made, we will provide copies for the wedding couple, each bridesmaid and groomsman, and each set of parents on DVD (no matter how many there are in your wedding party or family!). Additional copies can always be ordered.

...Still want more?
We would love to send to you a copy of a wedding video we have done. There's no better way to experience our work, than to see a final product. Please contact us if you would like us to send you a copy!
