Comprehensive Canine Video Services in Phoenix, MD

Trying to capture a high-quality video at a canine sporting event is much more complicated than it might first seem. You can’t simply point your camera, hit record, and expect the results you desire. Capturing these events in all of their glory is a craft that combines technical camera skills, an understanding of canine behavior, and a deep familiarity with the structure of competitions and scent work events. Colleen M. Griffith Productions provides comprehensive canine video services in Phoenix, MD, delivering professional canine sports videography and canine performance videography for competitions, nose work trials, and specialty events. Our team has perfected the techniques required to showcase speed, precision, and the subtle body language that makes every performance meaningful.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long are videos available for purchase?

How long are videos available for purchase?

Videos are available for sale only for the immediate 3 weeks after the trial has been completed. Specific purchasing deadline dates for each trial are listed in their respective folder on the Sample Videos page. You may purchase trial videos at any time prior to the search and until the purchasing deadline. Read our scent work video FAQs to learn more about this policy.

When are videos ready for purchase?

You can purchase your scent work video at any time—even before the trial in question is held—though there are purchasing deadlines for each trial. Payment is accepted any time during the day of your trial (we prefer cash, but also accept checks and credit cards).
To preorder your videos, or to buy up to 3 weeks after the trial has completed, click the Shop Now tab at the top of this page—add your videos to your cart and check out. Or give us your email address via the Contact Us form, and we will provide further details after your trial is completed.

Do you film multiple camera angles?

The number of angles depends mainly on the details of the search. Our goal is to use as many angles as are necessary to cover the search and hides. For example, most vehicle searches are filmed using 3–4 camera angles, allowing us to capture the full search as you and your dog move around each side of each vehicle. Container searches are often filmed using a single angle. We recommend checking the sample videos for your trial to see how each search is covered in our canine sports videography.

Do I pay more for searches that have multiple camera angles?

No. Videos are sold as packages for each individual search. The price is the same at each trial level regardless of whether 1 or 4 camera angles are filmed. Thus, no discounts are offered for individual camera angles where your dog doesn’t appear.

What is the quality and format of the trial video?

We film all videos in full HD (1920 x 1080) and provide files in .mp4 format. Your videos will play on standard Windows and Mac computers, can be expanded on large screens, and are compatible with iPhones and many Android phones—standard delivery for our canine performance videography.

Can I download it to my iPad or iPhone?

If you need lower-resolution videos for iPad or iPhone playback, indicate this in the "Comments/Special Delivery Instructions" box during checkout. These will be converted to 480p. If you want both high-definition and mobile-ready versions, we can provide both for a small additional charge that applies to the entire order—select "Alternate Formatting for Video" in your shopping cart.

Do you utilize dynamic filming techniques (camera panning and zooming)?

Yes. For many searches, we use a zoom lens to capture detail and body language of the dog and handler, and we pan to keep competitors within the frame. Other angles may use wide-angle lenses to capture the search area. Review the sample videos to see which searches are filmed with zooms, pans, and specific angles in our canine video services.

Do you film every search in a trial?

Due to a NACSW rule change (June 2018), we are currently able to film all interior elements at all trial levels, though there may be exceptions if a Certifying Official (CO) restricts camera placement. This can occasionally prevent filming of certain searches. For this reason, please check the sample videos for your trial and contact us with questions about a specific event.
