Thumbs Up Video has videotaped more that 850 dance competitions
and recitals. We have recorded small recitals all the way to American Ballet Theater in New York. We can record with one, two, or even three cameras,
depending on how many students the studio has. We always set up a video monitor at the recital so customers
can see our work before they buy.
We use new 3-chip Sony digital cameras model DSR570 to videotape your performance.
These cameras are very sharp, provide excellent color and are very good in low-light theater settings. They are NOT the pro-sumer cameras
that other video companies use. Our cameras are the $15,000 variety.
Most of our performance videotaping
is done ‘on speck’ meaning you do not pay us for production costs. We come out and do the job free!
However, we do insist of a minimum amount of DVDs
purchased. Usually we need a minimum of 30 DVDs to book your recital.
If your studio can sell 30-70 DVDs the price is
$40 for DVDs, with discounts for multiple shows or purchases. If you have a larger studio with over 300 students the
price drops to $35 or $30 for each DVD. If you think we can sell over 100 DVDs, the price drops to $25 each!
Our DVD's are chaptered so you can go to each dance quickly.
>We can also work as a ‘hired hand’ for $1200 (2 camera shoot)
and make the DVD copies for you for about $10 each. Or you can take the DVD master elsewhere and duplicate them yourself.
Another option for financing is to include the price
of one tape or DVD into your 'recital fee' or 'costume fee'. This way, every family receives a tape or DVD of the performance.
There is a bit more of work on your part, but the prices can go as low as $25!
>Our most popular
taping package is a 2-camera shoot switched live and recorded onto
high-quality digital DVCAM recording format. (over $40,000 worth of
professional gear) With CD quality
sound and sharp, bright pictures, your recital will look like it belongs on
PBS!
 We deliver the DVDs within 2 weeks of your recital,
with all the names of the
persons who purchased the DVDs on the DVD sleeves for easy
distribution.
We have a great
customer service policy – with all the DVDs guaranteed or your money
back!
Your performance is
important to you and to us. We edit the
dancers names at the end of the video to each performer can see their name up
in lights.
e provide the
order forms and do all of the collecting of payments. We even have a portable visa machine so we can process credit
cards on location.
On request, we
provide special “video montages” of stills and music before the performance
with video projection, and also add this special segment at the beginning of
the video.
Please call Bruce Gleason at 714-998-4004 if
you’re interested in having a well-produced performance video.
