| Do you film backstage?
Yes we do. We normally like to put together about a 5-10 minute section where
the performers are preparing costumes etc.
Do you do an introduction?
Yes we do. We at Softlight Media feel that an introduction is a good lead into
a production, enhancing the quality of the DVD/Blu-ray and letting the audience
at home know what they are about to watch and build up the excitement of anyone
watching the production.
Can you put credits at the end of the production?
Yes. We like to put credits at the end of all our productions, this enables
the DVD/Blu-ray to stand out from the rest and gives it a Hollywood feel and touch.
Can you film rehearsals of the production?
Yes we can. This will be at an extra charge over our standard packages. It
is a nice buildup to the actual production and offers the public an opportunity
to see how much hard work has gone into putting the whole production together.
Rehearsals are generally put on a separate disc titled “The making of …..”
Can you film an entire backstage while the show is in progress?
Yes we can. It is sometimes nice to see what actually happens backstage. This
will be an extra charge over and above our standard packages.
How many cameras do you use?
We shoot productions on anything from 2 cameras to 5 cameras. This all depends
on the nature of the production and the layout of the theatre / hall. Normally
dance productions and children’s plays we use 2 cameras and high school
productions can range from 3-5 cameras.
Will your cameramen have a professional appearance?
Yes. The standard dress code for our cameramen is dressed smart in black with
corporate wear. This ensures that we blend in with the backstage crew.
What if something happens to our DVD/Blu-ray copy?
Softlight Media as a standard keeps a master DVD/Blu-ray copy of your production
just in case something should happen to your copy. We will also keep all the raw
footage from your production for life incase you would like to integrate that
with some footage from previous years.
Will our DVD/Blu-ray’s have chapter points for easy movement
in the DVD/Blu-ray?
Yes it will. We do interactive moving menus on all the DVD/Blu-rays with a
scene selection and we also put extra chapter points in the DVD/Blu-ray to enable
you to skip through with ease. The chapter points will also be placed at the crucial
points on the DVD/Blu-ray for example the start of each dance / scene.
What will the finished product look like?
All the DVD/Blu-rays come with professional printed photographic covers in
DVD/Blu-ray boxes and the DVD/Blu-rays with printed disc faces. All the DVD/Blu-rays
come with moving menus and scene selections that follow the theme of your production.
Do you do still photography of the production too?
Yes we can. We bring in 1-2 photographers at the dress rehearsal to shoot the
production. Photographs will be placed on a DVD so the performers can print as
many pictures as they would like.
Do you use Studio Lights when doing the photography?
Yes, we do. This is a standard for the company that we will use the studio
lights with during the performance and on the individual and the group photography.
How will the photographs be presented?
We will supply all the photographs to you on a disc that will go with the DVD/Blu-ray
in a double box set. You can print unlimited copies by having it in this format.
