SERVICES
Generic Pool offers numerous video production services tailored to meet your production requirements. We can offer a lone Lighting Cameraman or a small crew depending on the requirements of your particular project.
Lighting Cameraman
This would be my good self armed with a high end Sony XDCAM HD camera or even a Sony HDCAM camera, depending on your requirements. A full lighting set up consisting of Dedolights in varying sizes and power outputs as both soft and hard light sources. A selection of reflectors, diffusers, skylites, gels, scrims, nets, projection lens with gobos and various other pieces of lighting equipment. The sound equipment consists of Sennheiser lavaliere wireless radio mics and Sennheiser rifle mics, Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser reporters mics and a Marantz solid-stage digital uncompressed recorder.
My fees as a Freelance Lighting Cameraman with complete camera kit is £550 per day plus expenses i.e. hotel, travel, food etc.
Corporate presentation
A corporate keynote speech or other similar presentation usually only requires a lone lighting cameraman armed with camera, lighting kit and other pieces of production equipment. In some cases a sound recordist or possibly even an Auto-Cue operator is also required.
Small corporate production crew
If your production requirements are for a corporate, training, promotional, infomercial, instructional or recruitment style dvd, our crew usually consists of 2 or 3 people: a Lighting Cameraman, a Sound Recordist and a Production Manager (where required), and of course the client's advisor. An Auto-Cue system with operator is also available where required.
Music videos
If your production requirements are for a music video for broadcast MTV style or other promo purposes, the crew will consist of a Director, Lighting Cameraman, Sound Recordist (if needed, but usually not), Grips (jib/crane/tracking/steadycam etc) and other possible crewmembers depending on the scale of the production.
Editing
See the post-production link for more details of our editing facilities.
My fees for editing and post work including encoding and DVD authoring are £400 per day.
DVD replication
We can organize all your dvd replication and duplication requirements from a short run of just 10 to larger runs of 1000 upwards. Larger runs are replicated from a professional 'glass master', which offers total reliability and compatibility with dvd players all over the world. The glass master method is how every commercially available dvd is manufactured today. We can also have our graphic artist/designer create and design the artwork for the dvd cover and face of the dvd itself if required.
If you have any special production requirements we can usually bespoke something, please get in touch via the contact link at the top of the page.
