How long have you been in business?
Warne Brothers Productions has built websites and been in
the graphic design business since the year 2000. We began producing Wedding and special event
videos commercially in 2005. Prior to
that, we were producing videos by special request since 2003 (i.e. family,
friends, and referrals). Many of us have
a technical background in Computers, Computer Graphics, and videography.
How do you best describe your company and editing style?
Our Company:
We are hip, fun, energetic, and truly passionate about
making videos. Because we’re a small
studio, you can take solace in knowing that we film and edit our own work. All editing is done in our studio where each
and every video is uniquely woven together and given our personal touch. Warne Brothers Productions does not contract
or solicit the services of a third party, which means we personally see you’re
video all the way through, from beginning to end. Here at Warne Brothers Productions, we will
always maintain our personal commitment to quality and creativity.
Our Style:
Our style can be considered more Photojournalistic, as we
believe in recording all of the event’s precious moments and details of the day
both, candidly and naturally. This
includes capturing the love, tears and laughter of your special day and telling
your story the way that YOU expect to see it!
Here at Warne Brothers Productions, we continually challenge ourselves
to commit to a higher standard of excellence, striving to provide you with a
“timeless” and “classy” masterpiece.
For whatever reason, some of the raw footage we capture
never makes it to final edit. Therefore,
we can tell you that we are one of the few companies in the business that take
advantage of this extra footage by providing you with “Outtakes.”
How well do you work with the other vendors, the
photographer, and those attending?
We always work well with all vendors and are absolutely
sure to respect their space and the job that they are there to do. We always coordinate are coverage by staying
in communication with the event coordinator, photographer, and DJ. We do are absolute best to ensure the comfort
of your guests by respecting their space and privacy. We try to remain behind the scenes as much as
possible and use low lighting equipment whenever possible. The comfort of you and your guest is very important
to us.
What type of equipment do you use?
We use the latest in broadcast digital 3CCD DV
camcorders, audio wireless microphones and lighting equipment. We edit in all
digital format using the latest software and equipment available. For your convenience, final videos are always
provided in an “up-to-date” DVD format.
How do your videographers dress for the event?
Our videographers always dress appropriately for each and
every event. If they didn’t have a video
camera in their hands, you wouldn’t be able to tell them from any other guest
at your event. At minimum, our cameramen
come dressed in slacks, a collared dress shirt, and appropriate shoes. Many times the attire is determined by the
location of the event, weather, and operating conditions. Please contact us if you have further questions
regarding this.
What parts of the valley do you cover?
We provide service to the following cities: Anthem,
Avondale, Carefree, Cave Creek, Chandler,
Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Peoria, Phoenix, Queen Creek, Scottsdale,
Sun City, Surprise, and Tempe. Outside locations available by request (i.e. Tucson, Sedona, Las
Vegas, ect.).
Are you members of any Videographer Associations?
Yes. Currently we
have membership with WEN (Wedding and Event Network) and WEVA (Wedding and
Event Videographers Association).
Are you insured?
Yes
What type of editing do you do?
All of our editing is done in house on computers using a
non-linear editing format. All video is
recorded in DV (digital video) format and edited with the most up-to-date video
editing software.
Do you offer discount rates?
On occasion we run promotions that can save you some
money. However, it’s important to note
that our rates are very competitive and some of the best you will find in the
industry. Feel free to compare. Important Side Note: Many times a video is thought of as an after
thought or something to pursue if you have a little money left over in your
budget. We encourage you not to view it
this way, because a Wedding video can be just as important as any other service
you use on your Wedding Day. Other then
having photographs, many of these other services last only hours, a Wedding
video last a lifetime. It’s the only way
to truly re-live your special day.
Do you customize a package?
Early on, we did this quite often. Unfortunately, it has been something we steer
away from in recent years, for good reason of course. As our business grew, it became increasingly
difficult to accommodate a bride and groom who only needed our services for a
couple of hours when other clients were requesting one of our packages that
span 6 to 8 hours on the same day. There
are certainly days and times that we may make exceptions, so it’s best to
contact us for more information.
Break down of a customized package:
We have a standard hourly rate that is used to calculate
a proposal. This rate covers the filming,
capturing, storage, and editing. * This
is not the same as the “additional hour” rate that applies to those who select
either our 6-hour or 8-hour packages.
Do I have any production or editorial control?
This question typically coincides with customizing a
video package. As stated in our
agreements, Warne Brothers Productions is granted full production and editorial
control by the Client regarding all aspects of the production post-production
services for the event. You can however,
have input into the events that you desire us to cover by including it in our
Event Planner or in a provided itinerary of the days events. While every attempt will be made to cover the
outlined events, years of experience have taught us that this is not always
guarantee. Though extremely rare, there
have been unforeseen and uncontrollable situations such as people standing or
walking in front of our cameras, bad lighting situations, miscommunication with
the event schedule, or other miscellaneous interruptions that occur. Please take solace in knowing that we do
everything we can to counter these situations and remain proactive. This
includes using two “low lighting” cameras to cover each and every event,
carefully following a provided itinerary, staying in contact with the event
coordinator or master of ceremony, positioning cameras in the most unobtrusive
location we can find, and using lighting equipment (when permitted by the
client). We are absolutely confident that we can get gain coverage of all
events you desire, however, we cannot go as far as to guarantee that each and
every shot will go off without a hitch.
As far as post-production goes, we encourage you to
review our available Demo’s for a clear understanding of our filming and
editing styles. You can take solace in
knowing that your video will be filmed and edited in a very similar
format. It is very uncommon for us to
stray from this format, unless we are producing the video in real-time (events
in their entirety, no flash, ect.).
How long does it take to complete a video?
Typically, we ask that you allow us at least
3-months. A video can take less time or
slightly more, depending on whether it’s the “high season” and a lot of videos
are in production. Assuming we have all
needed materials, videos are commonly completed within 3 to 4 months.
How long do you keep raw footage of the event?
Typically, we keep all raw footage for up to two
years. With the advances in technology
we are close to being able to compress large amounts of video onto a single
compact disk, thus allowing us to store the raw footage for an indefinite
amount of time.
Take solace in knowing that we do our absolute best to
provide you with all the best footage we shoot.
This is one of the major reasons for including outtakes on all of our
videos.
Do you produce corporate videos?
Yes. We primarily
produce short videos for use at events or for training purposes. We can also be contracted to film and edit a
corporate event (i.e. company party, company meeting, seminar, speech, ground
breaking or grand opening ceremony, ect.).
You may also contract us to film and provide you with raw video footage
as well. Contact us for more
information.
