Q: What is the difference between Cinematography and Videography and what you do with your company?

A: Cinematography requires complete 100% control of camera placement/angle, lighting, and the set/environment by the production team, while using high-end cinema cameras and lenses to get the desired effect. Even the movement of the athletes are usually controlled and choreographed for dynamic effect. Obviously, traditional cinematography cannot be properly executed during a live game/event because it could easily put the highlighted athlete and other players and crew at risk and affect the outcome of the game or event.

The main goal of Videography is to capture the live un-rehearsed event. The Videographer does not have any control of the sporting event while shooting staying off the playing field while the game is in play, using powerful lenses to get close-ups when needed. The announcers provide the viewers with the play-by-play and background info to keep viewers interested.

What we do here at Reel Kinetic Media is combine the best of both videography and cinematography for live events by using high-end cinema cameras and lenses at live events, giving it a sleek cinematic look that creates a visually stunning narrative content that is engaging and resonates with your brand and your audience. We can also shoot scenes of the talent before or after the event that are necessary to include into the finished product to help immerse the audience and tell the story.

Q: What is the difference on how you shoot opposed to what we see on broadcast TV or a video camera in the stands?

A: When we shoot, we’re capturing footage in a more cinematic style, often using higher-end cinema cameras and lenses, and employing techniques like slow motion, drone shots, and creative lighting. This differs from broadcast TV or video cameras in the stands, which typically capture a more straightforward, live-action perspective. The footage shot by Reel Kinetic Media is designed to be more visually stunning, emotive, and storytelling-driven, whereas broadcast cameras prioritize capturing the live action and immediacy of the event.

Q: With your experience in Hollywood as a Filmmaker, 2nd Unit Director, and Stunt Coordinator, how does your experience apply to shooting my brand?

A: Our 25+ years experience in Hollywood has given us a unique skill set that we apply to shooting your brand. As Filmmakers, we understand how to craft a compelling narrative and visually stunning imagery. As a 2nd Unit Director (shooting action and stunts on set), we are skilled at efficiently capturing additional footage that enhances the story. And as a Stunt Coordinator, we know how to safely and creatively capture complex action sequences.

But what really sets us apart is our experience working with bigger and smaller budgets on feature films and TV shows- and the discipline that comes with delivering high-quality results on time and on budget. When shooting your brand, we bring that same discipline and expertise to the table, scaling it down to fit your budget and timeline. We understand how to maximize your budget to deliver high-impact content that tells your story, showcases your products or services, and leaves a lasting impression on your audience - all while meeting your deadline.
