Guinness World Record Success
Back in 2010, we got a call about building a custom camera system for a world record attempt, crossing America in a wheelchair.

Unfortunately this isn’t always the case. We’re often presented with shaky, blurry, noisy footage that clients want us to use in productions. There’s a big misconception that video post production houses have a magic setting that can fix everything from fuzzy pictures to crackling sound. As much as we...
