Evaluation
We encourage you to try the concert instruments available at Klavierhaus prior to recording to ensure suitability for your project. You are also welcome to schedule an appointment with one of our concert technicians. They will be happy to meet with you and adjust your chosen piano to your liking prior to recording time.
Immediate delivery
Unless storage media is provided (i.e. flash drive or memory card), all recorded materials will be sent online. We can also upload recordings that were not already livestreamed to the Klavierhaus YouTube channel with your desired privacy setting.
Post-production
Please note, for single-camera video recordings, editing between takes is not possible. For other recordings with multiple takes, it’s recommended you select takes yourself; if you want the engineer to do it, this will be billed separately at the hourly post-production fee. For multiple camera recordings with multiple takes, audio will be edited prior to editing video.
Continuity
If you want multiple video sessions to look the same (i.e. for editing purposes), you must specify this during the booking process so we can mark everything and restore the previous setup.
Set design
The default look will be with our black backdrop. Any other look should be requested in advance. Feel free to inquire further as our inventory may be updated periodically.
