San Francisco Photography & Videography Image Packages, Bay Area Wedding Photos & Wedding Video

Photography & Videography Combo Packages

We offer incredible quality & value in our combination image packages. By utilizing our unique process of extracting and processing still images from HD video, we have dramatically altered the "photojournalism" landscape. Nothing is more photojournalistic than 30 pictures per second - nothing.

Further, we have professional photographers using cutting edges 21mp cameras and artistic composition to give you the best of both worlds.

All Image Packages include:

- Hi Resolution CD of all images & upload to a password protected website so friends and families world wide can view and purchase prints.

- High Definition video coverage with the nations most experienced HD video artists. We have been filming in long form HD for more than two years. While our competitors are just purchasing their first cameras or delaying even longer their investment in current technology, we have filmed & edited over 500 events in HD, learning the subtle techniques that make this medium powerful.

- Professional Photographer

Video Madness has been delivering images to couples since 1989.We were the first Bay Area Company to go HD, the first to offer a second level of HD quality by utilizing the Sony EX-1, & the first to utilize the Canon 5D MII DSLR camera for video. First generation HD (1G) has great resolution , but trouble in low light. The increased resolution has been so satisfying that one adjusted to the low light challenge. Further, 1G cameras still record to tape. Tape is robust, but tape can have damage, drop-outs, and issues that a mechanical tape path will produce. Again, this is an acceptable trade-off considering the increased resolution. Another trade-off is the recording length. Tapes for HD cameras come in 63 or 84 minutes – with the 84 minute being considerably thinner.We have filmed over 500 events with these limitations and have produced beautiful products. But we now have another level of quality to offer in the Sony EX-1. Consider these second generation (2G) benefits:

• Stunning low-light performance. (great for those churches and temples)
• Solid State recording – NO TAPE! (no dropouts, instant access, ultra-reliability)
• Continuous Recording! (no church breaks, no tape change at important moments)
• A true 1920 x 1080 1/2 inch chip! (1G cameras are 1440 x 1080)
• True, 1080p capture

Canon 5d MII

In 2008 third generation cameras (3G) arrived - by accident. Canon introduced its high end photographic camera, the 5D MII, which also did video as an afterthought. The rest is history. A full sized sensor with photographic glass. That shallow depth of field movie look so difficult to achieve with a video camera (where the subject is in sharp focus but the background is out of focus) is easily accomplished with the 5D. Low light capability? Unsurpassed. It must be seen to be believed.
