Videography
Plantation Productions, Inc., offers event videography services ranging from "point the camera at the stage and let it roll" to full music video production. Whether you simply want to record a meeting/seminar/announcement for posterity or whether you want to produce a commercial-quality DVD for distribution, Plantation Productions, Inc., can help you achieve your goals at a much smaller cost than you'd normally expect for professional video production. Take a look at some of the possibilities:
Scripted Music Videos and Theatric Productions		Hollywood, here you come! We can work with you and your ideas to produce a top-notch video production. Tons of special effects are possible including blue screen (chroma-keying), automatic dialog replacement (ADR), and other common video/film effects.
Seminar/Class Recording		If you would like to video tape a series of seminars or lectures so you can sell DVDs or video tapes of the series, we can help you achieve this. We can help provide ancillary material and effects that will make your presentation exciting and interesting to watch. We can also help you prepare materials to accompany the video presentation (e.g., Randy Hyde, our lighting guy, is a published author or several books and a former University of California instructor).
Performance Evaluation		Ever wonder what the audience sees when you're performing on stage? The best way to improve your act is to watch yourself perform. A simple "point the camera at the stage" video production may not have the highest production value, but it's a very low-cost way for you to see what your audience sees. You can even walk away with a DVD(+RW) of your performance immediately after you finish.
Live Concert Recordings		Plantation Productions, Inc., can videotape your performance and simultaneously record the audio on one of our digital recording units and combine the two to produce a high-quality live video recording. After recording, we can take the video and audio recordings to our studio and mix down the audio, apply appropriate effects, and have you overdub the "broken" parts, to produce a great product.
Karaoke Video Recordings		If you're a "KJ" and you'd like to offer your clients something special, how about a "video karaoke recording" where the participants can walk away with a DVD recording of their performance immediately after their performance? This is a great way to attract clients and build up excitement for your Karaoke gigs. Not only do the people get to perform before their friends, but they get a music video of the show produced at the same time. We can even throw up a blue screen and add a spectactular background to the video recordings.
Children's Theater Productions		Do you want to make some extra money for your children's theatre programs? Easy. Just video tape the performance (in pieces, so it can be perfected as much as possible) during dress rehearsals and make DVDs available for sale on the nights of the performance. Plantation Productions, Inc., can provide all the facilities you need to do this. At a cost far less than you'd think was possible.

Equipment

Print to Disc Capabilities		Plantation Productions, Inc., has special ink-jet printers that we can use to produce a CD or DVD of your performance, complete with a printed disc, at the show site. We can also pre-print disks prior to the show, to save time producing the disks immediately after the show.
