FAQ
- Who will be shooting and editing my wedding video?
At Fox Video, you will meet and be able to consult with every person involved with your wedding video. That includes shooting and editing. We produce everything in house andwe are dedicated in giving you our full attention and service. Your satisfaction is very important to us. No matter which company you choose, it is so important to choose a company specializing in wedding videos only. Companies who offer additional services, like wedding videos, most often sub-contract it out to another company. The objective is pure profit, not quality services and videos. Why would you want to put your wedding in the hands of someone who cares only about your money? Your day and you are too important for that.

- Do you have input as to how your wedding video will look?
This is your wedding video. A video company should be able to create a video that reflects your personality and taste, not what they want. Your complete satisfaction is very important to Fox Video and we want to work with you to make your wedding video better than you could have hoped for. When you choose Fox Video, we will have two design sessions with you to discuss the details of your day and your choices for music and style for your edited video.

- Does the videographer use a digital camera?
Our equipment is important to us and the final quality of your video is directly related to the quality of the camera. At Fox Video, we use Sony professional three chip digital camera’s which in our opinion offers the best color and picture quality. We can offer a wide verity of formats such as HDV (High Definition), DVCAM, and DV.

- Will the videographer be using bright lights at my reception?
Due to the use of cameras mentioned in the previous question, room lights have now been virtually eliminated from use and we are now able to keep your room ambience and natural light. We can achieve this because the new professional digital cameras are very light sensitive and there is no longer a great need for a lot of light to get a beautiful picture.

- Is your company still editing like ten years ago, or are they using the latest equipment & techniques to create a professional, high quality wedding video?
Times have changed. The ability to give high quality wedding videos is here for the wedding video editor. Fox Video uses Final Cut Studio 2 editing software powered by Intel based MacPro’s which retains the high quality our digital cameras captures. Our highly trained Editing Team use the latest techniques and tools to creating high impact and artistic wedding videos.

- Is the videographer educated in this technical field?
Does he use the latest techniques and trends?A dedicated professional videographer is a member of associations and attends seminars to learn and stay abreast of new technologies and techniques. Being educated, a videographer will know how to light a subject properly, create a second camera effect, without the added cost, and create visual beauty while working in a spontaneous and uncontrollable environment. Equipment is important, but how a professional uses the equipment is even more important. Anybody can point and shoot and click on a mouse, but only a dedicated videographer and editor can make it look like art. That is why we believe in attending all of our local association meetings and international conventions.

- Will the videographer hand hold the camera and be unobtrusive throughout the day?
For more exciting angles and versatility, we at Fox Video feel it’s better to go hand held. Tripod mounted or cart mounted cameras are limited in their angles. They pan left and right, but their heights don’t change. Hand held, the videographer can discreetly make the camera the eye of the viewer and join in on the tears and laughter unobtrusive to the guests instead of just observing from afar.

- Does the videographer use a wireless mic during the ceremony and the reception?
Audio is 50% of the finished product. Poor audio can ruin a video production. During the ceremony, the only way to hear the vows is by using a wireless mic, usually a lavaliere. During the reception, good audio is achieved by using wireless mics by the band/DJ to ensure a clean audio track. Fox Video uses these techniques to cover the sounds of your wedding day completely.

- Do you interview our guests?
We leave that choice up to you and we will find out your preferences on that subject before your wedding day so that we do not have to bother you on your wedding day.

- How much do you charge for your wedding video packages?
As you have noticed, we do not publish prices of our packages on the internet. We understand you want to be informed of prices to be able to fit it into your budget. But unfortunately, we are afraid your decision making on wedding videos will be based solely on price. In this industry, you get what you pay for. At Fox Video, our prices includes the quality and customized wedding video as well as our complete service and dedication. We encourage you to come to our studio so that we can demonstrate our work and answer all of your questions in a personal and professional environment. To contact us or to make an appointment, you can reach us at 718-351-2400.
