Project requirements:
Every project from the simple 30 second commercial to the more complex 1 hour feature has certain requirements to insure its timely completion. It begins with a goal, is expressed as a story line and defined with a story board. These three elements provide for the shooting schedule. After the raw video is captured it is transferred to the computer where the video and sound are edited. Titles, chapters, menus and credits further refine the video into its final renderable form. Once approved the rendered video is produced onto DVD or VHS tape. Combined with professional printing both on the DVD itself and the cover/inserts and a shrink wrap package your video project is ready for distribution.
