Offerings
Videos
Unicodia records with multiple cameras, and provides link to a fully edited recording as an MP4 file to clients. Clients then download (a.k.a. save) the file that is associated with the link to their computer or online storage space. The client may opt to upload to a streaming service, e.g., YouTube or Facebook. Raw files are not generally delivered. (Inquire about fees associated with delivering raw files via email. This is generally only done by production companies because the fee is higher than what most individual would be willing to pay. Most will use the .mp4 of the edited show, which is simpler to share, and smaller file size to archive for individuals. The .mp4 is what is what Unicodia delivers as part of the basic video service.)
Popular optional video services include:
- Individual videos of a short piece of the show video (Per video pricing)
- Sizzle reel (Price varies depending on amount of work required.)
Photos
Photos contain a logo and the cost associated depends on the usage.
Some photos can be shared on my social media accounts, and there is no cost to share from my account. I reserve the right to share or remove images . Not all images will be shared on my social media, and I will ask if the client is ok with the images being shared before doing so. If you desire to use the files outside of my social media, there is an agreed upon fee before you can legally share them. Two types of images can be provided, and each has a different logo and different fee.
The two types of images are a Screenshot and a High Quality Image.
