Q1: What is CCD? What is the differences between 3CCD and 1CCD camera?

A CCD is a "charge coupled device" - the part of the camera that accepts light from the outside world and translates it into the ones and zeros that form a digital picture or video. The more pixels you can get on a larger space, the better.

While the image you see on your LCD screen is in colour, that's not original how your camera saw it. In fact, when it came into the camera through the CCD, it was in black and white. A specialized filter is used to translate the particular shades of grey into red, green and blue, and the combinations of these colours make up the entire colour spectrum. With one CCD, there's only so much detail the camera can take in and some concessions have to be made so that one colour doesn't wash out another.

With a 3-CCD camera however, there is actually one CCD devoted to each of the red, green and blue colour spectrums. A special prism is set up to convert the light entering the camera into the three different colours, they are processed separately, and then combined into a final image. The result is superb detail and accurate colour representation. So what you're getting for is basically, three different cameras put into one. Panasonic DVX102, Panasonic MD10000, Panasonic DVC62, Sony VX2000, Canon XL1 are examples of 3CCD camera. Panasonic MD9000 is a 1CCD camera.

Q2: What type of cameras that you used?

We use Panasonic DVX102, Sony PD150, Sony PD-170, Sony FX1, Sony Z1 and JVC GY500 video cameras, the industry standard for wedding and event videography. Their 3-chip digital configuration produces a broadcast quality image, even in very low light. They record on the Mini-DV format, which allows a loss-free digital transfer of the footage to the computer for editing.

Q3: I already have a still photographer.  Do I really need a Videographer?

A still photographer is a must.  However, most couples say their wedding day went by so fast that they could not begin to remember all that happened.  The still pictures in your formal wedding album capture a moment-in- time.  They cannot begin to convey the depth of the sights, sounds and emotions of your entire wedding day.  Video captures moments-in-motion or time-in-motion.  No other medium tells a story more powerfully than film or video.   Remember: A Picture may be worth a thousand words, but a video tells the whole story.

Q4: Should we get DVDs? How long does a DVD last?

VCD is still sometimes requested, but it is quickly becoming obsolete.  DVDs offer better video quality than tape, and can have menus and chapters for skipping directly to a particular segment of your video.  Currently, most videographers are delivering wedding videos on DVD discs. DVD discs are generally considered to be durable. In truth, no one really knows how long they last, since the recordable DVD format has been widely used for only five years.

Q5: How about DVD Cover & Labels?

We know the value of the finishing touches to everything about your wedding day! Your final DVDs are beautifully presented using images from your wedding and/or your wedding photos. We print directly onto the DVD surface - eliminating the often inferior glue-on labels that can lift over time.

Q6: Payment Terms?

Out standard payment terms are as follows:

20% Upon Confirmation, 40% Upon Completion of Event & 40% Upon Delivery of Final Video.
