Stationary Camera
(B-Cam - No camera Operator):

Often times, due to budgetary constraints, we offer our clients a 2nd camera to cover a wide / medium shot that will be edited with the more active "A" camera coverage. While this is a cheaper way than hiring an additional videographer, there are the additional costs of tapes, logging, and more video editing (usually a 3:1 ratio of hours editing to hours shot). You will have also a more limited shot selection to choose from since the stationary camera will have no operator (usually a wide shot).

If you would like to have a single camera operator with an additional stationary camera, please budget the following prices accordingly. Our 10 Hour Day Rate charge for this service (assuming that the Stationary Camera is secure / sufficient crowd control - to be determined by the camera operator) is the following:

The "B" Camera (often used for close ups and / or cutaways) is the Sony SR12 which conversely records on Hard Drive. While it saves on tape costs, there are still acquisition charges (also known as Log and Transfer) that average out to about 1 Hr of logging per 1Hr of footage shot.

The "B" Camera (often used for close ups / stationary and / or cutaways) is the Sony PDX-10 which conversely handles bright, out-door events superbly.

Both "A" & "B" Cameras are capable of DVCam recording (higher resolution but turns a 1 Hr tape into a 42 minute tape).
