 Making great videos doesn't mean you need a Hollywood budget with a large camera and crew. Recent developments in technology make video production more efficient than ever before.
Here are just a few of the ways we green our production.
1. We use the latest small HDV cameras to shoot in high-definition:
- Costs less to manufacture and weighs less to transport.
- Records to reusable hard drives to eliminate the waste and expense of tapes.
- Runs on rechargeable batteries and consumes less energy to operate.
2. Our lighting is lightweight, portable and uses long-lasting efficient CFL or LED bulbs.
3. All of our equipment uses rechargeable batteries.
4. When shooting on location, two people can transport all our gear, which fits conveniently in our bio-diesel car.
5. Our extensive background in internet technologies enables us to work remotely and manage our projects and communications online with clients from around the world.
