Video Recording

Oaklands offers a variety of services in video recording including music videos / DVDs, concert visual recording, corporate video, conferences and wedding videos. We have five digital video cameras available (Canon, Sony and Panasonic). These cameras are broadcast 3CCD cameras. We shoot in the HD, DVCAM and MiniDV formats.

Oaklands offers a very high standard of visual production and combined with our audio recording services we offer the complete package of not only giving you great looking video but also great sounding audio to go with it. We record all the audio onto a seperate multitrack digital audio system, not directly into the cameras. This allows for a much higher quality product and gives us the flexibility of selecting the right audio equipment to get the best results. Think of it as the difference between recording a concert with a single microphone mounted on the video camera at the back of the hall as opposed to having 20 or so microphones placed on the stage all picking up specific sounds or the difference between picking up a wedding ceremony with a single mic mounted on the camera as opposed to dedicated radio lapel mics tucked inside the celebrant and grooms jackets picking up the voice from the source.

For a concert video, we will record your performance using one of our on site / live recording methods and video using two, three or even four cameras depending on the event. We then edit the video together and sync the audio to the recording. This gives you better than CD quality audio and full DV digital quality video.

For a music video we record the band as we would for a CD production and video the recording session so we can provide live looking band playing shots, we then do a series of other video sessions getting footage to mix in making up the music video. It comes out looking like something you'd see on video hits. We master everything to DVD so the audio quality is better than CD quality and can be mixed in full Dolby AC3 six channel surround.

For corporate and conference video we record all event on the day with up to five cameras and in the post production stage add in things like corporate messages, additional audio and effects and powerpoint presentations.

For wedding videos we can record anything from a simple capture of the ceremony right through to a production of the entire event from start to finish. In post produciton we add in your selection of music and photos to give you a complete record of the day.
