What is Digital Cinematography?

Videography and Digital Cinematography both relate to capturing footage, but they differ in the perspective brought to the process of filmmaking. A Videographers job is simply to capture footage. Digital Cinematography is also about capturing footage, but it differs from videography as it involves more strategic planning, artistic direction and decision-making, and requires a more specialized and experienced production team. Digital Cinematography not only captures images but also evokes a feeling in the audience. Our crew works to implore emotions and provoke thought, and tell stories in a unique way through the use of composition, framing, lighting, and design.
