It seems only yesterday that you were celebrating the birth of your new offspring, and before you know it the years have flown by and time is fast approaching for their bar or batmitzvah!

Usually, the culmination of at least a year of hard work by the young person and a year of worry for the parents, you can rely on us to ease the stress and ensure that the memories of your big occasion are captured on video for posterity.

Packages / Cost

As two of our company directors have organised both a barmitzvah and a batmitzvah for their own family within the past two years, we fully understand the pressures, from first hand experience!

     

The Shoot…

Depending on the policy of your Shul and, of course, your personal preferences, we can video a rehearsal sometime during the week prior to the service or alternatively a specially arranged repeat performance after Shabbat, so that you and your family have a re-creation of your child's actual Bar/Batmitzvah.

We will then attend your simcha, usually with two cameras to make sure that we are able to record as much of the event as possible. It is not only the obvious shots that we are after… we also look to capture those spontaneous moments which can occur at any time and can be gone in a blink of an eyelid.

 

The Edit….

This is where the magic comes in. Our expert editors will use their creativity and sensitivity to transform the footage into a seamless and entertaining record of your special weekend. Using the latest technology and with a vast array of video and post-production effects at our fingertips, for most clients we will usually produce two different versions. The first being a comprehensive record of the weekend, the other a highlights sequence.

At this point we can also add the music of your choice (copyright permitting) and sometimes clients will also ask us to add in a series of still photographs, usually shots from the early years of the bar/batmitzvah.

To finish the edit, a few titles are added and then the finished video is ready for transfer to DVD and/or VHS.

 

Authoring & Copying

These days most clients are opting to have their finished video delivered on DVD. Our technicians will author the final edits to produce a fully interactive DVD, adding motion menus, scene selections and picture galleries including additional content such as still photographs, etc if required.

Our designers will also create the artwork for a personalised DVD sleeve. Then to complete the project we can make as many copies of the finished package as you wish on DVD, VHS or most other formats.

The Costs

At Epic Creative, we prefer to start by taking a little time to listen so that we can learn about how you are planning your particular bar or bat mitzvah, we can then prepare a specific quotation for you to include all the important elements of your simcha. In the meantime, please refer to the following standard packages as a general guide to our pricing.

Here at Epic, we do not aim to be the cheapest…. if price is your only concern then we are probably not the company for you. We do, however, offer all our clients a high quality, professional and friendly service at a realistic and fair price.
