HVS Top Five Holiday Video Tips
HVS Top Five Holiday Video Tips
From Thanksgiving all the way to New Year's camcorders will be rolling and recording all of the action. Your holiday videos will have a better flow and story if you include very simple on-camera interviews rather than just recording the event.
From Thanksgiving all the way to New Year's camcorders will be rolling and recording all of the action. Your holiday videos will have a better flow and story if you include very simple on-camera interviews rather than just recording the event.
Here are five simple interview prompts (three questions and two "tell me's") for kids or adults that will establish your shots and make the video more enjoyable for years to come.
1. "What day is it and where are we?" (e.g. "It's Thanksgiving at Grandma's", "It's Christmas at Uncle Jim's")
2 "What are you doing?" (e.g."We're getting ready to open presents.", "Dad's cutting the turkey."
3. "What are you excited about? What are you thankful for?" (e.g. "To see what Santa brought." , "A brand new year.")
After the event or scene:
4. "Tell me about it"... (the gift opening, the meal, etc)
4. "Tell me about it"... (the gift opening, the meal, etc)
"How did you feel"... (when you saw the doll, when the meal ended, etc)
These simple interview questions will serve as a foundation, whether you edit or not, for a more interesting video.

Thanks for the DVD Memories!
Thanks for the DVD Memories! Thanksgiving is upon us and whether you're going "over the river and through the woods" or "headin' for Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie" or having guests at home nothing makes for a thankful heart quite like spending time with loved ones!
Many homes have a Thanksgiving tradition where everyone around the table shares what they are thankful for. We thought we'd go around the country and share a few "thanksgiving" stories of our happy Home Video Studio customers who had their old tapes transferred and/or edited for DVDs:
- Lorenzo and Selena from California had their wedding video edited and transferred to DVD. Here's what they had to say: "We want to say THANK YOU! for the wonderful job and professionalism in which you treated our priceless memories. Our wedding video was shot by a family member as we had no money at the time that we got married to have it professionally made. The video needed a lot of editing and the personal touch that you provided. I thank God that we found you and for making our Wedding an everlasting memory, captured just like the way we wanted. Thank you, thank you..."
- Amanda from Minnesota had all her old tape formats transferred to DVD: "I am so happy to have all of my VHS and 8mm tapes now on DVDs! I no longer have to worry about losing wonderful family memories as the tapes get older. Thanks!"
- Jeanette from New Jersey had some Beta tapes transferred to DVD: "I had some very old, but important Betamax videos turned into DVD's. They are wonderful and they will be a great Christmas Present. Thanks!"
- Eva from Ohio needed a tape repair and transfer: "I sent an old VHS tape that was twisted and stuck in the VCR to Home Video Studio for repair and then transferred to a DVD. I would highly recommend Home Video Studio to anyone. Thank you!"
What could be better than getting all your old video tapes transferred to Platinum Archival DVDs? It's the perfect gift and one of the most important things you can do for yourself, your kids and/or your grandchildren. Why not gather up all your old tape formats - VHS, VHSC, 8mm, and minis - and get here before the Holiday rush. We can answer any questions and help you get started. The key thing is get started now!
The best thing about transferring your videos to DVD is that, once the master DVD is made, copies are a cinch. They are quick to make, inexpensive and always available for that last minute gift. The more thought you put into this gift the better it will be. Call us today and let's get started putting your memories onto Platinum Archival DVDs for the ultimate Holiday Gift!

HVS Top Five Sports Highlight Video Tips
1. Scout your position(s) and look for different angles.
It's always more interesting to have a selection of angles. Try to shoot from the center of the court or field (high up), sidelines, end zones, etc. Also, for day games make sure the sun is behind you.
2. Use a tripod.
A tripod ensures a steady, un-jumpy shot and a nice, level picture. If you are shooting from the bleachers with a tripod position two of the three legs on the lower step and the other - shortened by 10 inches or so to level things up - on the upper step.

3. Record the whole game.
The beauty of sports is that they are unpredictable. Record the whole game while your subject is on the field so you don't miss anything. In most cases, you will want to record several games to give you the widest possible selection of plays.

4. Get extra video footage.
Additional shots always make your video more interesting. A short interview with the player before or after the game, establishment shots of the stadium, the scoreboard, the crowd, the mascots, the cheerleaders – these all contribute to the whole story and make your Sports Highlight video more fun.

5. Check your work early.
At the first game break, check your footage to see what it looks like and that you have audio. Make any necessary adjustments. Remember, the teams won't replay the game because you didn't get what you wanted!

Sports Highlights Videos - You Shoot - We Edit - You Score!
Remember the famous television introduction: "...the thrill of victory...the agony of defeat...the human drama of athletic competition..."? Thrills. Agonies. Drama. Hmm, this sounds like the stuff great videos are made of!
That's why now is a great time for you to think about your own Sports Highlights Video. Your child's football and soccer season is winding down. What will you do with all that video you shot? Are you capturing spectacular catches and ferocious tackles with your camera? Basketball and hockey are just around the corner. Are you ready?
We love to relive our personal "great sports moments." Sinking that birdie on six. Our daughter's sneaking a shot past the goalie. Our son's diving catch on the turf. And with a Sports Highlights Video we can use your photos, film, and video tape to create unique DVD's with action, motion, special effects, and music that bring great sports moments to life once again. Or, if you prefer, we can shoot it for you as well.
Once we have your clips it's all up to your imagination! With advanced editing we can use highlight arrows, isolation techniques, quick cuts, slow motion, stop action, high energy music, narration...the possibilities are limitless. In the end you will have a Sports Highlights presentation that will make you think you're watching SportsCenter!
Finally we can provide professional packaging with an attractive label and DVD cover, as well as a DVD menu with thumbnail chapters. Your high school and college sports, your kids' sports, bowling leagues, softball games, Little League, CYO and Boys and Girls Club basketball - all edited into a neat DVD that you will enjoy and show again and again.
