David specializes in covering small events. Utilising HD cameras he can capture excellent sound and video. Sound is a critical part of some events, often more important than the pictures so capturing audio from a mixer, clip-on mike or separate sound recorder ensures the best sound is secured.
Conferences
Events such as small conferences can be covered with one or multiple cameras. By using one camera a master DVD can be created directly from the camera as each session runs, David has many years experience in this method., having covered conferences at Uluru, Cairns (twice) Sydney Opera House, Bendigo, Melbourne (twice), Canberra Parliament House (7 occasions) and the Dandenong Ranges. Dozens of other events have been covered in a similar way.
By videoing an interview with two cameras you capture the interview realtime and when it’s finished that’s the end of the shoot; if only one camera is used the reverse angle or shots of the interviewer have to be shot after the interview , this all takes time . Of course sometimes only one angle is required and one camera is plenty, David has undertaken many of these types of interview situations.
David has videoed weddings over many years also, his first back in 1972 with a super 8 film camera! So much has changed (for the better) he now uses 3 cameras now and mikes the groom so even if outdoors good sound of the ceremony can be achieved.
Three camera events such as CD and DVD recorded events have also been something David enjoys
creating for people.
Recently David has been asked to cover several funeral services, this is an extremely valuable service to offer as often family members aren’t able to be at a funeral or memorial service and this is a way of avoiding that disappointment, to a degree, and having a valuable record of what took place, even at the grave side for the family’s archive.
Bar Mitzvah
More recently David was asked to cover a Bar Mitzvah celebration, what a privilege. this was a two camera event and sound from a mixer.
In 2005 David shot a documentary on his father at work, he was a prominent Australian artist and in 2010 David produced a DVD that was launched at the opening of an exhibition of Kenneth Jack’s work at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre Melbourne.
