Shoot & Edit package using Apple Final Cut Pro Studio

Finalcut There are certain jobs where it makes economical sense to shoot and edit as a one-man package. I can offer this highly cost-effective service using my fully portable edit suite which can be located on-site if necessary. There are hundreds of people online offering video production but few have the equipment or experience to deliver broadcast quality results (I have been in this industry for 15 years!).

Typical examples for shooting and editing as a cameraman/editor package are:-

  • Product demonstrations
  • Shoot/Edit PAL or NTSC and upload rushes/edits via FTP or DropBox in whatever format you like
  • Conference openers
  • Conference highlights (with on-site editing)
  • Vox pops (for inserts at conferences etc)
  • Customer testimonials (for web sites)
  • YouTube videos (becoming very popular for companies)
  • Company announcements (e.g. CEO piece-to-camera requiring a fast turnaround)

In conjunction with the Panasonic AF101or Sony Z7 (shooting to card), I can achieve a fast shoot and edit work flow. The edit suite is fully portable and can be located at your premises in the UK or overseas. The photo (right) is my kit, consisting of:-

  • Apple Mac Book Pro with 17" cinema display
  • 2TB dedicated media drive
  • Capture DVCAM/Mini DV/HD and other file formats via tape or card
  • Final Cut Studio 7
  • DVD Studio Pro 4
  • Compressor 3.5 (for encoding to YouTube, iPod, Quicktime etc)
  • Samsung 22" 1080i HD external monitor (optional)
  • Access to 30 royalty free music CDs

I will be happy to provide an estimate - please contact Steve on 07710 121 041

What can be achieved?

Steve is understated, unflappable and delivers a very high standard of work, both technically and creatively. Although he's fun to be with, he takes our business very seriously. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
