foolish tree films: Let’s make a movie!

Let’s make a movie!

why choose foolish tree films?

1) We’re fun people (on purpose)
Working with us is always a pleasure– before, during and after your movie is completed. We want your experience to be fun, relaxed and something to look back on with a big smile and probably a few giggles.

2) We do quality work
We produce movies that you will be extremely pleased with and will feel good about sharing with your family, friends or colleagues. No canned-looking, boring films produced here.

3) You get more
We are a small footprint company with very low overhead and we can pass that savings along to you. You will receive great value for a reasonable price.

what we do and what we have

Shooting

From documentary to fiction to shooting your latest event, we provide a verite-style experience and an interactive character to our filming that draws the viewer in. We shoot in full HD and can provide everything from raw footage to full production including DVD and BluRay as well as HD uploads to YouTube and other video sites.

Equipment:

Tripod and hand-held methods are used for shooting.

We have two Panasonic AG-HMC40 high definition cameras. One is for primary shooting and the other serves as a primary coverage camera.

We also have a Panasonic HDC-HS250 high definition camcorder used for secondary coverage during live shows or staged events.

Editing

Once the video is captured, the editing can begin. Our editing philosophy is to tease out the story that already exists within the footage. Our aim is for the final product to always exceed your expectations.

Got old footage you have no idea how to get out of your camera, much less edit?

OK. So maybe that’s a little harsh. But maybe you just don’t have the time to get that film ready for Mom’s 80th or edit that footage together from all the old Super 8′s for the big Family Reunion.

We offer editing of digital movie files as well as creation of slide shows from digital images and combinations of both.

We can also arrange conversion of old tapes for a set fee or can recommend easy, reliable third party vendors who you can go to directly and save yourself some cash.

Equipment and Software:

all editing is done on a 2.8 Ghz, unibody Macbook Pro

Final Cut Pro Studio 3

Livetype 2.1 for titles

Garage Band and Soundtrack 3.0.1 used for composing and “constructing” unique background music
