Specialty Cameras

Need a camera a little less obtrusive?  Check out the Jones Cam - a tiny little "lipstick" camera with big potential.  Want to swim with the fishes?  We have an underwater camera good to 60 feet.  Need something else?  Ask us: we might have it!

Seven Editing Stations

We use what the pros use - Final Cut Pro on dual-core Macintosh computers.  We have five desktop models in our editing suites for basic editing and two laptop Mac Power Books with custom carry cases and a mini-DV tape recorder for use by our more seasoned editors.  Add to this Sound Effects and Royalty Free Music Libraries, digital backgrounds and other EFX software and you have all the creative tools you need to make a truly professional looking program.
