For the past few years, the cost of video production has significantly dropped. On the other hand, the video communication has grown on the internet. A brilliant video is the kind of video that will be able to convey the required information quickly, clearly and in an entertaining manner. As opposed to the more common print media, the use of video is easy as the video productions can be re-edited and updated easily to target a different audience. All these factors put together proves that use of video is now the best and cost effective media for any business communication.

However, even with all this advantages in support of video usage, one has to look for the best production company to make the business videos. The best production companies are the ones that ensure their clients take advantage of the reduced video production cost. The company should also ensure that the client benefits from the growing online community. Companies with vast experience in the market also offer the best production, as they know what exactly the audiences are looking for.

In the recent past, number of production companies has risen, and this has lead to everyone looking for the best company to handle their videos. A prominent company is the one that works with their clients at every production stage. They should also be able to offer advice to their clients on all the aspects associated with the video production. The advice should be based on issues like use of the video on social medias, creative approaches and the product placement. With all this looked, the clients can therefore sit back and relax while the production of the business video continues smoothly.

As video usage becomes popular, different clients require different video types. It is for this reason that the perfect company should not only deal with a specific video type but all the video formats. The company should be able to shoot any video format ranging from DV, 3D and high definition. This should all be done within the specified time to ensure the client's deadline is met.

Videos are not only for business, but almost everyone in the globe has some need for them. Many of the video production companies in the world and increasingly getting orders from different individuals ranging from sales promotion videos to TV commercials.

Remote Aerial Video

For aerial cinematography, think of the Helicam as a hybrid dolly and jib with an insane range of motion. Since the helicopter is not connected to the ground it can move the camera freely to any point in 3 dimensional space, providing some unique and often spectacular angles, movements and views. These aircraft are most often flown in what is commonly known as "line of sight" or LOS. For a larger, brightly colored helicopter, this range can be as much as 900 feet in the horizontal plane and 400 feet vertically when operated by a well experienced pilot. Why is the vertical distance less than the horizontal you might ask? Well this is primarily due to the policies of the FAA in the United States. It is in everyone's best interest if these unmanned aircraft do not try to occupy the same airspace, at the same time, as full size manned aircraft.

From a creative perspective, the potential of such a device quickly becomes apparent. The next question is usually one of image quality. Capturing photographs from a helicam is not a overly simple task for a competent pilot, but capturing smooth, stable film or video is an entirely different matter and requires the skill set of a true ninja/guru/master in several different arenas. This quickly explains why there is truly only a handful of companies that can consistently and reliably provide such a service. For these elite few, it is possible to provide very high quality imagery that is worthy of the big screen.

There are a variety of helicopter types and sizes used for HD aerial video and film-making. They can be powered by internal combustion engines, turbine engines and electric motors. Our personal experience has shown that turbine powered models, while smooth, are overly complex and not practical for daily use "in the trenches". Electric powered models are both smooth and quiet but have limited flight duration. Around 10 minutes flight time is typical for one set of lithium based batteries. Since aerial shots are typically short, this is usually not an issue and only a few moments are required to change batteries. Internal combustion powered models may be either methanol or gasoline powered.

Once again, our personal experience has been that opposed twin cylinder engines are much smoother than single cylinder types. We have been able to obtain smooth, vibration free video from such platforms that rivals our electric powered models. A side benefit of these platforms is the ability to be continuously available for up to one hour. These platforms are also larger than current electric powered aircraft and so, are more stable, particularly in moderate winds. (This is not just our opinion, it is the law. More specifically Newton's law).

For HD video, the practical benefit of gas power is being able to do multiple takes, land and idle, quickly confer and make changes in direction for a given shot, take off and immediately continue filming. Over the course of a day of filming this can be a huge time savings. For 35mm filming this is less important as the cameras can only carry film loads of up to 200 feet. Perhaps the greatest advantage of these super heavy lift rigs is the ability to carry ultra high definition cinema cameras and lenses like the Red Epic, Scarlet, Arri Alexa and Phantom high speed cameras.
