STUDIO PRODUCTIONS
Located in the VMI office is a studio that is perfect for one to three talent shoots. Some examples are talking head shots, interviews, demonstrations, lectures, and intimate musical performances. A variety of backgrounds, including a green screen, make it possible to shoot performance video scenes and glamour photo shoots.
For larger productions, Nashville is blessed with a variety of studio facilities of varying size and amenities. VMI will work with you in selecting the best studio location for your shoot.
REMOTE PRODUCTIONS
Remote productions can be as simple as a one camera operator shoot, a small crew on an existing location or as complex as setting up a multicamera shoot at a showcase, concert, seminar or sporting event.
When things do get more complex, the VMI Mobile Won is a great aid! It is fully equipped for remote productions including generator, solar power, changing room, bathroom, shower & makeup, kitchen & bar, large video monitor and can be loaded with a large assortment of video production gear.
