Q: Can I See A Demo?
A: We have several clips available on our website for High-Speed internet users, or you can arrange an appointment with one of our video specialists here at our office. To keep cost down, we do not send out our DVD video demos. You can also meet our staff at our monthly Open Houses to view a complete demo.

Q: Do we meet with the Videographer before our event?
A: We do encourage consultations with one of our videographers by phone or in person. We suggest starting by phone and then in person, if you feel it is necessary. If you would like to see a demo, please make arrangements with one of our fulltime video specialists. We also have Video Planning material you should fill out a of couple weeks before your wedding day. You can submit a planner on our website or call our office for a hard copy.

Q. How long will our final video be?
A: A single standard DVD can hold 80 minutes of video. Keeping the number of segments in mind, you can decide the length of each (Wedding=66 minutes; Montage=9 minutes; Highlights= 5 minutes). Keeping the viewer in mind, our goal is to make your video very entertaining to watch. Weʼll often layer some guest interviews over dancing to reduce the length and at the same time make it more enjoyable to view.

Q: Our church is very strict with rules, can you work around them?
A: Yes. Your church should have a list of rules for the Videographer to follow, please inquire and submit any rules to us with the rest of your planning material. Many churches will not allow a Videographer to use lighting, wireless microphones or set up in areas we would prefer to, but we do our best to give you the best quality video we can. In most cases, 2 cameras or more are best for church ceremonies -- please be sure itʼs OK with your church in advance.

Q: Can we have the Raw Footage?
A: Because the process is very time consuming and labor intensive, we charge to covert our specialized tapes to an unedited DVD. However, raw footage is typically not very pleasing to watch. For example we may take up to 10+ shots of your flowers, cake, decorations, etc and only use one or two of the clips in your video. Also, we often use a digital sound recorder that is separate from the video camera so your tapeʼs audio may not be audible. Your camera operator may make quick movements or adjustments during a segment that would otherwise not be scene after itʼs edited. These are all standard techniques of a professional videographer. Your final video will be complete with all segments of your wedding day. We will not leave out any interviews or special moment during the first draft. You can then make any changes you like during your preliminary process.

Q: Should we provide a meal for our Videographer?
A: Your Videographer(s) will be with you for several hours. If a meal is not provided, your Videographer will have to take a 30-45 minute meal break during your event. If a meal is provided, your Videographer is sure not to miss any important events.

Q: When should I expect my completed video?
A: All videos are produced in the order they were shot. Depending on the time of year, we average a two to five month turn around time. Please make sure all production material (pictures, video, credits, planners, etc) are in on time.

Q: Can I make changes to my video?
A: Once your video is edited, we will give you a rough draft DVD which we call the “Preliminary Video”. During this process, you will have the opportunity to make some changes to your final video. All changes must be written down along with the corresponding time-code and submitted to us within a time period set by the editor.

Q: Can I make copies of my Wedding Video?
A: Professional copies can only be made from the Master Video. Amos Productions holds the copyrights to all.
