Introduction

My name is Ben Mercedes II and since 2014 I have been shooting live events, weddings and brand content. The beauty of shooting weddings is there is no room for error which has taught us to be as thorough as possible. From 500 person weddings to 10,000 person events our approach remains the same. We love executing live events and delivering video assets immediately to be used for social content.

Below are references from live events, a brand story + two testimonial vertical reels with captions since we are considering getting testimonials from some members during the event.

We do have the capabilities to provide headshots for the speakers and or guests as well so if that is of interest please let me know.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Equipment Overview

High-Quality Content Capture:

  • All cameras deployed for the event will be equipped to shoot in stunning 4K resolution, guaranteeing visual fidelity and clarity.

Redundant Data Management:

  • We prioritize data redundancy to mitigate any risk of data loss during the event.

  • Utilizing a dual SD card system, content will be simultaneously recorded onto two memory cards, ensuring immediate backup.

  • Throughout each day of the event, content from the memory cards will be promptly backed up onto external hard drives, resulting in a minimum of three copies of all content daily.

  • Upon return to our studio, we will create an additional cloud copy and server copy, further bolstering our data redundancy strategy to have a total of five or more copies of all content.

Comprehensive Audio Capture:

  • Each camera will be equipped with a microphone to capture clear audio during filming.

  • For presentations and panel discussions, we offer the option to provide Lapel mics for speakers, ensuring crisp and direct audio capture.

  • Additionally, we can collaborate with the event's sound technicians to capture an additional copy of the audio simultaneously, further enhancing audio quality and reliability.

Enhanced Lighting Setup:

  • To ensure optimal visual clarity and subject visibility during interviews, we will utilize LED light panels, guaranteeing that subjects stand out against any backdrop.

By adhering to these rigorous technical specifications and equipment standards, we ensure that our coverage of the PGA event meets the highest industry benchmarks for quality and reliability.
