Digital video

Digital video productions from Surfer Dude Studios.

Digital video is at the heart and soul of Surfer Dude Studios. But what seperates Surfer Dude Studios from the lesser digital video production enterprises? Well let us ask you a question, how often when you are out and about do you see someone filming with a mobile phone, or tablet? The proliferation of devices is everywhere, where once videoing required large and at times clunky devices, most of us can now record a good couple of hours of footage on a pocket sized device, and that's in Full-HD, or even 4k, resolution. Now let's consider that with this technology, thrust into hand, how many people film portrait rather than landscape? Here at Surfer Dude Studios such framing makes us see red.

A professional product

It literally does. Think about the shape of your TV, think about the shape of your local cinema screen, computer or laptop monitor, the theatre, concert hall, does your tablet automatically rotate the image when you are streaming TV and films? It's meant to be Landscape! Basically we get that passionate about it.

Good quality digital video products are not something that can just be picked up and delivered. It takes a keen eye, and years of experience to light, frame, and capture good quality footage. And even more experience and training to edit, composit, and export a top end product.

Years of experience

Over the years Surfer Dude Studios has seen the technology used in video production change significantly. Take a look below, this is just some of the kit Surfer Dude Studios has gone through in twenty years of video production.
