Weddings
Thumbs Up has taped over 900 weddings during the past 25 years.
We're experts. You may select between one, two or three camera packages. You
may also add childhood photographs at the beginning of your DVD or add your honeymoon photos
at the end to represent your life up to that point.
Our most popular selection is the “Director’s
Cut” with two cameras and seven hours of on location shooting. (see
below)

Bruce the owner or Lynn his assistant.
What makes our wedding videos better than our competitors? We use the latest digital Sony professional
camcorders that cost over $15,000 for our weddings. The video camera is the most important item in the video production that determines
the quality and look of your wedding DVD. You will never see a better, sharper video than when you see your
DVD produced theough Thumbs Up Video. If you're interested in going to Hi-Definition, we can provide you with a regular DVD
now, and a Hi-Def DVD later when the 'format wars' settle down. We use creative editing techniques that bring the feeling of your special day
to you again when watching your DVD.
You may also customize your wedding package to your heart's desire. Talk to Bruce for more information.
All packages include at least one DVD. DVD’s offer incredible quality
and color reproduction and will last for many years.. We also convert
all of your older VHS tapes to DVDs as well.
We recommend you visit our
studio for a complete explanation of our professional equipment and our
shooting style. With over 25 years of experience videotaping weddings, you can
be assured that Thumbs Up will make your wedding video a great "Thumbs
Up" Production! Call us for a free, no-obligation demonstration viewing. If you are going to book your date with us,

Still pictures to video
projects
We've produced many family memories to DVD using nothing but photographs of your relatives. This production can be a very special gift to any family member. We suggest it for anniversaries, special birthday gifts, or as a Christmas present. There's really nothing like showing 10 to 20 minutes of decades of memories from your family. The cost is a simple $50 setup, and $2 a photograph. You can also select your own music to match the photographs you have chosen.
Other Special Events
Have a special occasion you want remembered?
Birthday? Bar Mitzvah? Anniversary???? Prices start at $250 for two hours of videotaping. $400 for four hours, $550 for six hours and
$675 for 8 hours of taping. We can videotape using a "edited in camera" style, or videotape knowing that we will be editing in
one of our edit bays. If it is the later, we edit in titles, music, and basically 'clean-up' the video to make
a great presentation. Editing is $300 for most packages. We can also add still pictures and older videotapes or even
old 8mm film into the video! You will receive a free DVD of your event. You may also want to order extra DVDs at $20 each.
