Post Production is definitely one of our specialties. From storytelling to precise manipulations, we excel in doing the job well and doing it right. Our background with video extends to before it converged with computers, which gives us an unique understanding about video and the ever evolving technologies that can't be obtained easily today.
Whatever Digital has editors that can work at other facilities or even on onsite events in temporary editing rooms like sporting events. Or we can work in our offices and keep the client informed on the project via web uploads or even webcasting.
When it comes to encoding the final video, we are top notch and unrivaled. Knowing how to deal with a long list of pitfalls that have added up over the 70 years of video technology and understanding the current complex situation delivering video is in a world of mobile devices, bandwidth worries, Flash and HTML 5 are just a couple of the reasons we declare us to be your best friend when it comes to video encoding.
Below are some samples of our video work.
Women's Final Four | ESPN
Typically, almost live editing is a terrible strain on an editor's wrists and the computer he uses, but we handle stress very well and have learned how to be prepared for anything without the comforts of our office studio. For this project, our editor worked feverishly to edit this tease under crushing deadlines, and part of our secret was editing the audio bed on his laptop the evening before. The music source was a song by Riana. By playing with noise cancelation techniques and mixing in reversed audio, our editor created a remix version of the song that when combined with carefully selected video clips became a final piece that we are very proud of.
Jellies, Living Art | Monterey Bay Aquarium
If anyone would have the idea to showcase the similarities between jelly fish and human art, it would be the visionary designers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. In this exhibit, artists from 15 different mediums set out to create pieces of art from their jelly fish inspirations. We created 3 videos; one for each section of the exhibit. Above is our work to juxtapose the shape and size of jellies with famous pieces of classical art. The exhibit was meant to only last 3 years, but due to its popularity and numerous awards, it went on to remain open for 6 additional years.
A couple of years after the completion of the this, the Aquarium approached us to produce a 16x9 version of the video. Regardless of such challenges like the Mona Lisa not being a landscape painting, we set off to meet the challenge, and the video presented above is the 16x9 version, complete with the wide screen version of da Vinci's masterpiece.
Webinar repair | Monterey Bay Aquarium
Sometimes the project isn't a creative work, but a challenge requiring a creative approach. The Monterey Bay Aquarium had a Windows Media encode of a webinar they needed to get converted, however the file was corrupt and no software solution could get the job done. Since the video played just fine, our approach was to play it out of one PC, outputting to a professional video card with an HDSDI output. From there we recorded the live stream with another PC, creating a whole new video file. And since the connections remained 100% digital, there was no loss to the video quality.
