What's the difference between the first price & the High Definition price below it? Well, I'll tell you. The first price is for high quality digital video, and the second is for HD. And as we all know, HD is the wave of the future. But is the lower price still good quality? A resounding, "YES!" Although it is a lower price, it is NOT an "economy" package. But for those of you who have to have "the best," then High Definition is, umm, even better. Only a handful of companies in the world are even offering HD wedding videos.
THE DEMO YOU WILL GET IN THE MAIL IS THE FIRST PRICE LISTED, NOT THE HD OPTION. It will take us about a year to get an HD demo together (sorry, we can't send you one yet).
Keep in mind that eventually we'll all have HD televisions, and that's what you'll be watching your video on in years to come. If you're interested in HD, let us know, as there are many details to discuss with this new format.
OTHER STUFF
Depending on the city that you live in, there is an additional travel fee that will be included on the info packet that you receive.
THE "Do-It-Yourself" Package: We also occasionally get requests from folks in the film industry who want us to film the wedding and give them the footage to edit. This package is $1350 for the same shooting features as the "Speilberg" package, including the wireless microphone, but without the editing. The unedited footage is given to you on miniDV digital tapes directly after the wedding.
MY OWN MOVIE TRAILER (new!) $300. Your entire day edited into a Hollywood style movie trailer/preview with PG rating and everything. Check out a sample on our demo, IT'S COOL!
*REHEARSAL DINNER: Call us for a quote on filming/editing your rehearsal dinner.
*PICTURE MONTAGE: We have a cute way of doing these, so check out a sample on our demo. For $300, send us your 75 pictures scanned to a CD and we will edit them to music and send it to you on DVD. DO NOT SEND US YOUR ORIGINAL PICTURES IN THE MAIL. Just send us a disc with the scanned images. As much as we love the good old USPS, it's just not a good idea dropping your most cherished photos in the mail. Just so you know, it runs about 50 cents per picture at a place like Wolf Camera to scan pictures to a disc. If you want more than 75 pics, let us know and we can work out a price.
*A $500 non-refundable deposit reserves the wedding date. As we receive deposits constantly, only when we receive the deposit is the date reserved. For the "Speilberg" and "Academy" packages, the balance is then split into 2 payments: one due four weeks before filming begins (shooting being either the wedding or the rehearsal videos), and the other due one month after the wedding date. Any added features, applicable travel fees, or extra hours are due up front with the second payment. For the "Do-It-Yourself" package, the entire balance is due 4 weeks before shooting.
*ADDITIONAL DVD COPIES are $20 each (a re-authoring charge of $150 will apply for all DVD's ordered after your final copies have been sent, since the files are removed from our system at that time).
*We do not do the complicated time limit thing that other companies do. We show up one hour before the ceremony and leave when the couple departs. This is usually plenty of time to shoot a great wedding video. If you need us to show up earlier (like for a Ketubah signing or something), we charge $75 for each additional filming hour.
RAW FOOTAGE can be purchased on DVDs for $450.
*Make checks out to "SCG." Paypal (credit card) options are available. Prices may change at any time, without notice.
*WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY SPECIFIC TIME FRAME for receiving your finished product. We want to finish it as quickly as possible for you, but refuse to rush a video even if our workload increases (we want to do it right!). When you receive the video, you will be asked if you would like to change any of the music or have any section deleted from the final edit. We rarely get requests for changes, but do not mind making them at all.
If these packages don't fit your specific desires, please let us know. We will try to accomodate special requests. Send all inquiries to Tiff The Wedding Video Queen (yes, unfortunately we all have silly titles). To reach Tiff, CLICK HERE . Or you can reach Tiff via telephone at 1-888-SO-CRAZY (888-762-7299).
Wow, you're still reading. I'm so proud of you for making it to the end. Hmm. I don't know how to reward you. I know, I'll tell you about our DVD cases. Is that rewarding? Whatever. You get to pick from the two DVD cases in the picture above. They will have your name and pictures on them though, and not the nice people you see now. There will be critics quotations, a PG rating thingy, pictures from your wedding, academy award nominations, etc...it's really cute.
