Broadcast Production Package & Crew
Our Betacam shooting package includes: Ikegami HL V-55 camera, Sachtler 20 tripod,
Schoeps, Vega or Lectrosonics audio package, Arri portable light kit, Sony
Hi-res. monitor and all necessary accoutrements. Working with the best equipment,
our professional production crews: light and shoot first-rate interviews,
document lectures and events, cover exciting sports matches and theatrical
performances...and produce beautiful video. Our multi-camera field production
package is also available for programs with more sophisticated production
values.
On-Line and Off-Line Non-Linear Editing
Our new Avid edit system offers flexibility and functionality that is simply
not available in a traditional, analog edit suite. The unparalleled speed
and flexibility of the Avid enables us to produce more creative programs
with greater efficiency. Multiple versions of stories can be created quickly
and easily. And because digital editing is faster, producers and editors
have time to make stories more interesting and compelling. Our Avid MC9000
system includes: 1:1 uncompressed picture quality, 180 GB storage, Real-Time
3D Effects, Adobe After Effects and Photoshop.
Webcasting
Webcasts are collaborative efforts between BU Productions and Networked
Information Services that allow a program or event to be broadcast live
on the Internet. We provide the audio and video signals to the Information
Technology staff, who encode the picture and sound with their lap top computer.
The encoded video stream travels from the encoding station through the data
port and over the campus network to the RealServer. Anyone with a computer
connected to the Internet, a Web browser and the free RealPlayer G2 software
can log on to your event.
The videotaping can be done with a traditional broadcast-quality equipment package or with our new Canon XL-1 camera. This prosumer digital camera provides professional quality at more affordable rates. If a live webcast is unnecessary, your program or event could be recorded, then encoded for viewing on the Web at a later date. We can also shoot digital or analog video clips to visually enhance your website.
On-Line Broadcast Editing (Analog)
Our inter-format edit suite (Beta SP, 1" and 3/4" tape formats) located at
the Tsai Performance Center, affords clients easy access to high-quality, creative
video editing. Our talented editors have experience with documentaries, commercials,
multi-camera events and standard archival recordings. They will guide you through
the post-production process and devise inventive ways to promote a program,
sell a product, convey an image or tell a story.
VHS Editing
Here at BU Productions, we have a VHS/S-VHS edit suite to
accommodate your basic editing needs. Our staff editors help
faculty prepare video material for instructional purposes and
assist students with videos for class projects. We can create
titles and credits with our character generator and incorporate
music and voice-over into a presentation. Copyright restrictions
do apply.
Video Duplication
We offer duplication from most broadcast and consumer-level formats (1", Beta
SP, 3/4" and VHS), as well as videotape-to-audio cassette duplication. All
prices include tape stock, case and label. Arrangements can be made to handle
other formats or foreign standard dubs.
