girls,
Feeling real sleepy, so think this review should be shorter ahahaha.. (ehm, in the end I realised it is not)
Okie, Anyway PERSONAL REVIEW on Mirage Pictures. NO OFFEND to anyone, just personal view.
As Mirage picture is a videography company itself, their style, editing and transition and digital effects is definately very impressive.
The pictures is clear, the style is interesting. The same goes for all offers, they will have event summary, day event and night event.
I am quite impressed with the style and edit. They actually introduced all the partipating parties at the beginning first, so u will get to see snapshot and label of groom, bride, parents, jiemeis and xiongdis, one by one show their face with names.. something like before the movies showing who is in the cast.
I feel that their strength is knowing how to match the video with music and even usage of words and labeling at the frames, and through fast and slow motions to make things more interesting.
Eric feels that the videos are different if there are more talking, if not it would be like any other videos. So they try to get people to talk, eg jiemeis introducing themselves, how they are related etc.
In terms of service, he is also quite good. I actually can yak with him for 2 hrs, viewing a few works, photo mortage and those Outdoor MTV. He also showed me this DVD cover, it is acceptable design lah.. if u want design ur own dvd cover also possible - think he will be more than happy.
Okie anyway his package..
Basic filming package is $950 which includes morning express edit. This promotion will end by end of this mth, he told me it will be increased to $1.2k in July.
Stuff provided are Original uncut DVD, edit dvd with menu options, edit VCD. His photo mortage will cost and additional of $250. Payment terms: deposit at pt of confirmation and final amt at receiving the videos (2-3 weeks for June 05 dates)
Mirage had been in the market for 3 years but he had been in the industry for 10 years. Comparing his price as a full time videogaphy company, abt $200 extra compared to Kevin, i think i am considering him and I actually prefered his work.
They also have tied up with some partners for photography but I never really asked much abt it.
anyway, they have 3 videographers, so depending on the schedule, u might not be seeing eric, might be another 2 videographers.. but the videogapher himself will meet at ur first appointment and subsequently handle the case personally including editing the videos.
erh. think that abt all lah..
