1. What are the payment terms
for photo and video coverage?
An initial non-refundable deposit
of Php 5,000 is required as a reservation fee, which is completely deductible
from the total package price. Four (4) weeks before the event, 50% of the
remaining balance shall be paid, and the other 50% will be collected immediately
after the event. Currently, only cash and check payments are accepted. When
paying using a check, please address it to Ultravision Copy and Print Center.
2. Do the prices apply to out-of-town events?
How about permits?
Prices reflected in this website are applicable for events within
Quezon
City (except Fairview and Novaliches), Manila, Mandaluyong, Makati, San Juan,
Caloocan, Pasay, Pasig and Marikina cities only, as specified in our terms and
conditions. However, we do cater to events outside this circumferential area
at an additional cost, to take into account the cost of transportation and
other logistics. With some venues we might insist on having some lodging
accommodations, this together with transport and the out of town fee will all
be charged to the client.
With regards to permits, the
client is responsible for acquiring all the necessary permits. If needed, the
client can coordinate with Ultravision to secure the said permits. The permits
and the cost of acquiring the permits will then be charged to the account of
the client.
3. How many locations are allowed in the packages?
For Party packages, only one location will be
permitted for the same price. However, additional locations may be permitted
at an extra cost.
For Basic packages up to three
locations are allowed, typically in weddings: (1)the bridal
preparation, (2)the church and (3)the reception.
For Deluxe packages up to three locations are
allowed, typically in weddings: (1)the bridal preparation, (2)the church
and (3)the reception.
For Premium Packages, up to four different
locations: (1)the bridal preparations, (2)groom preparations, (3)the
church and (4)the reception.
4. Is it possible to create a customized package?
Yes. Come visit our studio to create your own
package, or email us your needs and we will make a quotation for your package.
5. Can Ultravision cover events such as conventions,
graduations, talks, forums…etc. for documentary purposes?
Yes. We are equipped with a diverse range of cameras to fit any
and all your needs…and budget.
6. How many images can I expect when choosing a package
with “Unlimited shots”? How large can I print my CD proofs?
It depends on how much of a program you have
prepared. Expect around 1,000 images for weddings. The average number of images
is around 800-1,200 but it can reach as many as 2,000 images in some cases. All shots
are made at the highest possible resolution.
Firstly, it is not recommended that you print from
the CD Proof included in your package. It is a low resolution file that is made
solely for viewing in a computer or for emailing or sharing in the internet or
your cell phone. The larger high resolution files can be acquired at an extra
cost and even then we keep a copy of these files as a record, so you can order
this anytime.
7. Will I receive the negatives when choosing a package
with “Traditional Photography”?
No. Only the proofs either in 3R or 4R will be
given to the client.
8. How many photo/video crew will be going to cover my
event?
For Party Packages and Basic
Packages there will only be 3 or 4 in
the photo/video crew, Deluxe packages typically have 4-5 in the photo/video crew
while Premium packages can have 8 in the photo/video crew.
9. Can I give up my free stuff in order to gain
discounts?
No, free items are not redeemable for cash or any
other type of discount. Forfeiture of a free item will not affect package price.
Some free items like the Thank You Card require the client to schedule pre
nuptial pictorial at least 1 month before the event, if the requirements are not
met this will result in the forfeiture of the item/s. For a more detailed
insight into requirements, please contact us.
10. Will I receive the RAW (unedited) footage? What
format will it come in? How much RAW footage should I expect?
It depends on the package. Most have raw footage
in VCD format. Typically a
1-cam setup for most events (except Party Packages) would yield around 3 hours
of RAW footage. A 2-cam setup would produce similarly around 3 hours of RAW
footage per cam, so it would total approximately 6 hours total RAW footage.
11. Does Ultravision make corporate Audio Visual
Presentations (AVPs) as well?
Yes. Come visit our studio to view some
samples of corporate AVPs.
12. What is the difference between VCD and DVD?
Both formats are digital therefore are
much better than the older VHS tapes that we had gotten used to but there is a
huge difference in the quality and features that DVD can offer as opposed to VCD.
Firstly, DVDs can contain up to 2 hours of video while a VCD can only hold a
little over an hour (around 80mins). DVDs have a resolution of 720 x 480 while
VCD can only hold half that at 352 x 240. DVDs can also contain 5.1 channels of
surround audio while a VCD can only handle 2 channels. A VCD is more compressed
and therefore the quality suffers a lot more than DVDs. That being said, DVDs
are more expensive than VCDs and so are the (DVD) players, but while all DVD
players can play VCDs no VCD player can play DVDs. DVDs can also contain
interactive menus with motions and submenus, while a VCD can only have one menu.
13. For Photo/Video AVP, how many locations and days
can be included for shooting?
The most basic Photo/Video AVP are captured
for only one day (8 hours max incl. 2 1 hour breaks) and one location, however, a limitless number of days and
locations can be added at an additional cost.
14. How long will it take to get the Album and Edited
DVD/VCD copy?
For the first part, we have to process certain elements in the
digital files, as such we need 3-4 weeks to do this and present the client with
the proofs and the unedited video. The client plays a role here in the speed with which he makes the
choice of the pictures to be included in the wedding album. From past
experiences, it usually takes between 4-6 months to create and edit the whole
package. This is because every album and video is unique and we make sure that
it comes out perfect.
15. Do I need to feed the crew?
We do not demand this but we would prefer that you do at least one
meal since
there’s usually not much time to spare during the coverage and the practice has
always been to include our crew together with the wedding coordinators and the
musical entertainers of the wedding reception in the meals that they provide for
these people.
16. How many Megapixels do your cameras have?
We have a wide variety of cameras
that we use for any type of occasion varying from 4-10 Megapixels. The fact is, aside from blow-up images
beyond 8x10 inches, 3 Megapixel cameras are usually sufficient for making
prints. More important than the number of Megapixels is the sensor size and
lens, a 10 megapixel Point and shoot camera cannot outgun a DSLR. We use only
pro quality lenses and cameras with big sensors.
17.
What is MTV style? Can I have my video edited the old fashioned way?
MTV style or MTV highlights means that the
video will be edited down to show only the most important events. This will be
made to go with the proper music and timings. A typical MTV style video will
have a Total Running Time of 40-50 minutes.
Yes, you can. You just have to request it
before the event.
