ACE Video Production   (607) 829-2560   ACEFilmCo@aol.com

Your independent film or documentary deserves to be produced on broadcast quality equipment.

· Pre-production services: story research, script-writing, location scouting, historical costumes and props, production planning.

· Experienced with coaching both seasoned and inexperienced on-camera talent and crew members.

· High-end broadcast quality professional production equipment: cameras, sound, lighting.

· Editing studio with Adobe Premiere.

· Extensive music and effects library. I can edit from many video formats.

· A note to Independent Filmmakers and Documentary Producers: I will be able to work within a limited budget, yet help you achieve a very high ‘production value’ for your independent film or documentary project. I have years of experience researching and writing historical and informational screenplays, I have or can find historical costumes and props, I am constantly on the lookout for historical locations, and specialize in working with inexperienced on-camera talent.

· That, in combination with the production equipment as seen on my professional services page (Panasonic Pro DV Camera), will boost the overall look of your project.

· I can edit the project, or hand you the raw footage on full-size Pro-DV tapes or in native DV files (25 mbps) stored on a DVD (or both).

Pricing/scheduling of non-profit projects:

· Film-style production is exhausting, especially for inexperienced (and often unpaid) actors and crew, limit work to half-days (3 hours) and provide lunch and snacks.

· For a NON-PROFIT project, I will use my Panasonic Pro-DV Broadcast Quality camera at a rate of $ 350 per half-day.

· Wireless microphone system $ 50 extra.

· Due to the expense of maintaining this equipment, I cannot ask less than this, no matter how worthy the project.

· Crew members (for lighting and sound) $ 150 per half-day.

· At the above prices, I expect to arrive on a functioning film set in which I will operate as the camera operator/cinematographer using my own camera and microphones.

· All other pre-production, production or post-production services will be priced separately.

· For a rough estimate of project scheduling, estimate one half-day of filming and one day of editing for every 1 to 1½- minutes of finished film.

· There may be an extra charge for materials.

· Please see the Student Films page, the samples speak for themselves.
