What does compositing mean and how can it assist my video productions?

Video from a cell phone or production video camera is a 2D complete video on one layer. Compositing means adding multiple layers and possibly effects to enhance the video production. Transparency from green screen footage allows you to add animations, backgrounds graphics and logos etc. Similar to "Photoshop" with photography, compositing represents layers with video.

Basic video production services for Calgary clients

How much does video cost?

Video costs for basic on location filming

Video costs are based on hourly. If there are no compositing cost and the edits are reasonably simple, you can produce a 2 minute video with editing and completion within a 10 hour day therefore making your costs less than a thousand dollars. Add animation, sound effects and support graphics and the same video can increase substantially.

Add creative style to your video production

From a basic video, we can add camera's that accept prime lenses for a soft artistic look as well as other add ons such as motorized pan head sliders. The completed video with additions has a completely different look and has only slight more cost in setup and production.

Greenscreen video services for Calgary clients

How much does studio video cost?

Video costs for greenscreen productions

A greenscreen video shoot can vary in cost. State of the Arts has portable green screen solution for simple productions as well as studio setups for more intricate videos. A simple greenscreen shoot can be provided at a reasonable cost. Where the larger costs come in are with the background graphics, animation and compositing. Small greenscreen videos can be inexpensive if the support graphics are provided rather than being produced. We would be happy to assist costing your project.

Studio backgrounds

For studio video or photography, we offer a white and black backdrop as well as a few other creative options.

Animation services for our Calgary clients

How much does animation cost?

Animation costs for 2D and Illustrations

2D animation can be as simple as shapes being motion tracked to live video or as complex as a complete illustration. Animating, whether 2D or 3D is very hard to quote as typically there are many hours in development of the graphics. Once we understand what you are looking for, we will have a better idea of time and therefore cost.

Animation costs for 3D

3D animation has many steps such as modelling, image mapping, lighting and keyframing motion. Once these steps are all done, you need to render the frames to make a video. The end result can be so realistic you wouldn't realize it's 3D. We would be happy to talk about your ideas and make them come to life.

Your videos will sound incredible with support from our recording studio

Audio is a very important part of a video production. If you do a poor job on audio, it doesn't matter how nice the video looks, your brand will be represented poorly and often your message will not even be heard.

Our studio can provide voice-overs as well as complete custom audio soundtracks. If you plan to post your videos online you should consider custom soundtracks so all the content belongs to you. This is important if you plan to make money on advertising with your videos.
