What aspect ratios are available for my video?
Your video can be done in either 4:3 (standard television aspect ratio) or 16:9 (wide-screen aspect ratio)

Can I make copies of my video?
Absolutely, we encourage our clients to make copies. We hope that the more people that see it, the more business we will get. Once you pay for your video you own it and have the right to reproduce it. If you want a printed set like the original you can order them direct from Busy Bee Video.

What kind of equipment do you use and how does it compare to other videographers?
All of our video is captured with Canon and Sony professional 3CCD video cameras. Audio is recorded with standard and wireless Senheiser professional grade microphones. Do not settle for anything less than professional audio/video equipment, if you capture poor audio or video no amount of editing is going to make it look or sound good.

The sooner the better, we recommend at least 6-9 months in advance.

Should we meet with you in person?

We will come to your home or place of work for the initial consultation and subsequent meetings.
