Cinematography:

We take pride in image acquisition. Creating quality images is a big part of what we do. We shoot artistically impressive images and provide the art direction, or we can just handle the gear, and let you direct. For indie filmmakers, Twenty-First Century Studios has full production services for commonly used video formats like HD, or we can create custom packages for higher budgets like 4k or film. We can light your production or build a lighting and grip package through other associate companies. Larger scale feature lighting packages are budgeted with complete lighting and grip equipment outsourced from specialized lighting companies and our crew.

Our post-production studios utilize Sony Systems for video and film production and Tascam DAW with Cubase for audio amongst other technology. In addition to image acquisition, Twenty-First Century Studios houses an HD video editing suite, graphic design suite with film scanners and printers, and a full service recording studio. We do not underestimate the importance of post-production in the creative process and use our background in organization, timing, cutting, color correction and audio post sweetening to bring these technologies together and create a superior product.

The final outcome is to express our clients’ message to their audience, wether it may be dramatic film, documentary, promotional, educational or corporate marketing and training.

The design of two and three-dimensional animation is developed in the graphics studio. In addition to using this production technique to render graphics for advertising, it is also use it to illustrate processes in technology, industry, communications and the sciences. We will also work with specialized animation houses that assist in the quicker rendering of highly complex images and large files.

FILM AND VIDEO TRANSFER SERVICES

“Bring your 20th century media into the 21st with 21st century studios!”

Many personal family collections and media outlets have hundreds of old films, tapes and photos in basements and storage facilities.  Nothing lasts forever,  and deterioration of valuable historical film, video and documents will occur. Organizations don’t have the time or personnel to process the past,  so hire TwentyFirst Century Studios specialists with more than 25 years experience in broadcasting and print.

We can transfer obsolete film formats, analog audio tapes, historical paper documents, even microfiche. Our Pinnacle edit suite transfers older formats like movie film: R-8, S-8, & 16mm, and video formats: Betacam SP, 3/4”U-matic, Regular 8, Hi-8 and 2 or 4 track analog audio for transfer to digital media.
