Milestone Video has been creating high quality Broadcast & Industrial video productions since 1984.We Specialize in:
Our Experience: We have made over 165 aerobic training videos, 75 corporate training programs and have shot over 20 Broadcast programs and Promos for such clients as ABC/Disney and PBS. Check out our other clients on our CLIENT LIST . We also have degrees in film & video Production
Our preproduction consulting will get your production on the right track. We can help with scripting, storyboarding, location scouting or we can give you a fair estimate of what a production could cost allowing for different options.
Our Shooting style Combines the use of the latest digital recording cameras with both old & new techniques. Our digital cameras feature "optical stabilization" to keep moving shots rock steady. We love to add camera motion to liven up a program. We use Rolling dollies(western dolly), Mini Camera cranes, Stedicams, Hand Held Techniques & Camera mounts to make our programs more visually interesting. Our film school background combined with Mole Richardson and "Chimera" soft box lighting, helps us get that "soft film look" without shooting on expensive film. (versus our digital video recording)
Our "DV" Digital recording process yields a better picture quality than Betacam, Super VHS, 3/4 - Umatic , Hi-8 or any other analog recording process.However this is true only if the digital video is edited on a native DV "Firewire" editing system described below. Since our format has such a high resolution. you can make incredible photographs from one frame of digital video.This can be used for brosures or websites
Our Audio Techniques are revolutionary: Whenever Possible we combine the use of Boom Microphones (The old way of micing someone) with the newer technique of multiple wireless lavoliers all recorded on separate audio channels. Combining these techniques gives us the "best of both worlds" with audio in the field.
Our Real Time parametric and graphic audio equalizers can fix most any audio problem during editing.
Our Lossless Digital editing is second to none. We can edit with DVcam And DV with no picture loss. We can also work with 3/4 U-Matic, S-VHS or any other format if playback equipment is supplied. We use "real time" non-linear equipment; this enables us to move shots around a project like a word processor edits text. All this without waiting for the 2D effects or graphics to render. We can also do thousands of customizable 3D effects. These effects can be selected from "Boris Effects" or the newer "Xplode Effects" or they may be built from scratch. Our system Has 10 real time graphic tracks each with it's own effects editor. This feature enables us to have 10 different graphics on the screen all moving in a different direction at once all done in real time. The discreet logic system has only 2 real time graphic tracks and Adobe Premiere RT only has 1 real time graphic track.
Owners: Robert Busch & David Frizzelle give our customers the expertise of our film school background combined with years of real world experience.
