Grand Rapids work
Grand Rapids has plenty of small rooms with live music: bars, breweries, clubs and church stages, plus outdoor shows through the summer. Typical jobs are full-song cuts from a weekend show, teasers for a new single, DJ set videos from a club night, and short recaps a venue can post to announce its next booking.
West Michigan winters shape the footage. Cameras carried in from a cold car fog up in a warm room, and the first minutes of a set can come out hazy. Give the gear time to warm up in its bag before the doors open. Cold also drains batteries, so keep spares in an inside pocket.
Summer brings outdoor stages and long evenings. Shows that start in daylight and end after dark change color a lot over the set, so we grade song by song to keep the look steady from the first song to the encore.
How a Grand Rapids job runs
- You send the setlist, the camera files and the best audio you have.
- We sync everything, mark up the setlist and send it back with a written quote.
- You watch the first cuts on a review link and leave notes at exact moments.
- We make the changes and export each version for the places you post.
The whole job runs online. Files come in through a shared link, cuts go out as review links, and calls are booked in Eastern time. We don't have a studio or office in Grand Rapids, and the editing doesn't need one.

Questions
Do you meet clients in Grand Rapids?
No. We work by email, review links and video calls booked in Eastern time, so there's nothing to schedule in person.
Our footage from a winter show looks hazy at the start. Can you fix it?
Light lens fog can be eased with contrast and clarity, but heavy fog can't be fully removed. If another camera was clear at that point, we'll use that angle instead.
Ask for a quote
Cost depends on how many cameras and audio sources there are, how many songs or clips you want back, how much syncing and cleanup the footage needs, and how many versions of each. Every job is quoted in writing before work starts.
