Quality & Quantity; We've Got It.

Cameras, Drones, Lenses, Memory cards, Mics, Recorders, Lights, Cords, Sliders, Cranes, Walkie talkies, Headsets, Go Pros, Tripods, Monopods.... and that's hardly half of the list. On today's blog, we are going to share with you all of the high tech equipment used every weekend at every location, cost estimates, and explain the true high quality you are receiving when you book us for your wedding.

At Mike Picard Motion Pictures, we have two teams, team 1 and team 2. Each team is supplied with the same gear; three cameras, multiple cards, a Go Pro, a drone, seven different lenses, three monopods, two tripods, a steadicam/crane, a slider, 3 light stands, 3 dedo lights, 3 extension cords, multiple batteries, a light cube, 3 walkie talkies with headsets, three windscreens, 3 mics, 3 recorders, and a few more items. Multiply each listed item above by two, since there are two teams going out on the same day to two different weddings and locations. In short, the total gear that we bring out every weekend amounts up to $43,000 per team! That's $86,000 worth of equipment that this company owns and brings out every weekend to make sure that our customers are getting the best of the best. That excludes getting a same day edit package. A same day edit requires more equipment, such as the laptop, HD projector, screen , speaker, USB player and remote, and more that goes along with editing the footage. The same day edit equipment alone adds up to $8,500, so you can add that on to the previous amount.

Most of this gear probably sounds like gibberish to you, but we just want to explain not just the quantity of our equipment, but the quality as well. The cameras we use to capture your wedding day are the best of the best. We utilize many different lenses such as the 14mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 100mm, 135mm, and the 70-200mm lenses in order to have the best variation of shots to go into your final video. Our drones are some of our newest and highest tech that we utilize for the most incredible establishing shots. We have the best of the best equipment, and a ton of it. We upgrade our equipment every three years to make sure you are receiving the highest video quality with the best lighting and audio. We don't mess around! In sum, when you book Mike Picard Motion pictures, you are booking a group of professionals, not amateurs. Not only are you receiving genuine high quality work , but a crew of enthusiastic and personable people.
