A Cleveland, Ohio: MDI Film and Video Production

Audio recording, photography, music, choreography, special effects, and graphic design are all separate disciplines in their own right, and in a motion picture these arts are brought together. It is no surprise that the most difficult communication medium to master is potentially the most powerful.

This very fact may have prompted you to consider producing a video for broadcast, videotape distribution, or for the web, but here are a few useful tips to consider.

Choosing a production company is a lot like choosing a photographer, and a company's reputation as well as your own taste will guide you toward your selection. Ask to see a production company's demo reel to familiarize yourself with an organization's capabilities and point-of-view; don't rely solely on recommendations or reputation. Do seek out individuals in whom you have the hope of developing genuine interest in the subject matter. All the technology in the world can't help a production company that is out of touch with your objectives.

Do not concern yourself immediately with a bottom-line cost; every production of quality deserves a careful weighing of variables that will lead to an equitable working model. If your next project is for broadcast television, or you wish to obtain the highest possible image quality in tapes for distribution, consider shooting your project on film instead of video. Images captured on film have been shown to possess higher resolution, truer color fidelity, and more optically-stimulating motion than images captured on video. This is evidenced by the amount of prime-time programming and high-end commercial advertising that is originated on film. "X-Files" originates on 16mm film. "Survivor" is shot on video.

The look chosen for your particular production will depend on your needs and your budget, but it is clear that professionals still rely on film for the highest quality of presentation.
