In the comfort of your own home
3 Cameras with lights,
wireless mics, back-up audio recorder. (Includes assemble editing, render, delivery, and an audio-only version for your approval.) Why 3 cameras? 1 stays close up on the main speaker, 1 stays close up on the interviewer, 1 captures the two of them together. I'll edit between them in post. This way the end result is beautiful, and there's no camera movement to distract the conversation. Rich images and clear crisp sound.
The Session
I'll arrive 45-60 minutes early to set up. Lighting is very important, so I'll likely choose a spot that allows outside light to grace your face while affording a handsome background. I'll add supplemental lighting, and set up my gear. Once the cameras start, we'll roll for 45 minutes, and then break for 5, then roll for another 45.
How to Prepare
Feel free to create a Cheat Sheet, or better yet, ask a grandchild, a friend, or relative to interview you and give them a list of questions (or have them prepare a list for you). Clear the room of clutter. Wear a shirt with bright colors. Flowers or plants are always nice to have in the shot. Have a cup of water at the ready, then relax and speak with love to that great grandchild that has yet to be born.
Pricing (PS: Holiday Special thru Dec 21)
$2k* covers the 90 minute session and includes prep/set-up/take-down, recording, editing, titles, in/out music. After which you can review the product and make a list of anything you'd like deleted. Up to an hour of re-editing to incorporate those deletions is also included as long as you can get those deletion instructions to me within 1 week after delivery. Some people have more to say!
