We capture content with our lenses, microphones, and keyboards. We edit and refine moving and still images, sounds, and words; and we assemble media components into a cohesive and coherent message. The finished product could be... ...a still image, or a series of still images A picture says much more than a thousand words. No amount of words can convey an emotion that the right image can. We have an extensive library of images in digital and 35mm formats. Let us know what you're looking for, and we'll let you know if we have it. Photography Our favorite subjects are urban and rural scenes and the interesting details they contain. Processing and retouching Removing wrinkles, stains and other imperfections; color correction; composites and panoramas. Scanning services Most consumer scanners do a poor job of capturing detail in dark areas of an image. Our Microtech 5700 flatbed scanner will do a much better job, and our Nikon 4000 film scanner will accurately capture all the detail your 35mm negative or slide can deliver. ...an audio or video production Short format video Some of our videos are on our youtube channel . We use Final Cut Pro to edit and assemble our video products. Audio Our production studio has churned out numerous podcasts, and is well-tuned for radio production and voice-over work. The output of our 12-channel Mackie mixer is fed to Audacity software for editing and engineering, with some help from Apple Garageband for effects and music composition. ...a presentation Too many presentations are little more than bullet points on a screen repeating what the speaker is saying. We believe the content of the screen should keep the audience engaged visually while reinforcing - not repeating - the speaker's message. Our presentations incorporate still photos, videos, graphics, sounds and a well-crafted script melded together as a complete, compelling and powerful message. ...printed communication As photographers we design images, and many principles of good photography also apply to print design: The subject should dominate the image, and the key message should dominate the page. And needless clutter distracts from the message. We share decades of experience in typesetting, and have applied this to newsletters, posters, promotional materials, and album packaging. If you're looking for competitive rates and fast turn-around, contact . ...a website Your website is your online storefront to the world. Your home page is the window display: it should highlight your most important "stuff" without bombarding users with distracting clutter; and it should be easy for people who know what they want to find it easily. If your website needs help, we will fix what ails it. We apply the latest tools for a consistent "look" from page to page, and for a clean and easy-to-navigate user interface.
