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 an art form that requires unique skills and a comprehensive understanding of canine behavior—not to mention an in-depth knowledge of the types of competitions in which these furry athletes participate.

Our team has perfected this art form and enjoys nothing better than using their capabilities to support fellow dog lovers, owners, and trainers.

Frequently Asked Questions

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. And 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 will be able to purchase your scent work video at any time, even before the trial in question is held. However, there are purchasing deadlines for each trial.

You can pay us anytime during the day of your trial (we prefer cash, but will also accept checks and credit cards). To preorder your videos, or to buy up to 3 weeks after the trial has completed, just click on the Shop Now tab at the top of this page—add your videos to your cart and then check out. Or give us your email address (using 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 to 4 camera angles, letting us capture the full search as you and your dog move around each side of each vehicle. However, container searches are often filmed using only one camera angle. We recommend you check the sample videos for your trial to learn more.

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

We do not ask you to pay more for more angles. Since your videos are purchased as a package 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 camara angles where your dog doesn't happen to appear in them (for example, the price is the same even if your dog only appears in 3 of the 4 camera angles filmed for his NW1 vehicle search).

What is the quality and format of the trial video?

We film all videos in full HD (1920p x 1080p), and all files are provided in .mp4 format. Your videos will be playable on any standard Windows or Mac computer, and can be blown up on large screens, as well as iPhones, and some Android phones.

Can I download it to my iPad or iPhone?

If you need small resolution videos to be played on an iPad or iPhone, just let us know. Do so by using the "Comments/Special Delivery Instructions" comment box during the checkout process. Please note that the unique formatting involved will result in the video being converted to 480p, a lower resolution format.

Canine Nose Work Video Service | Phoenix, MD

If you want high-definition videos as well as lower resolution videos suitable for playback on your iPad/iPhone, those can be provided for a small charge that applies to your entire order. For this option, select "Alternate Formatting for Video" in your shopping cart.

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

For several searches, a zoom lens will be used to capture the details involved. By zooming in on the dog and handler team, we allow you to better see the body language of dog and searcher while they work. We also pan throughout the search area, enabling us to keep competitors within the frame. Additionally, other angles will also be filmed with a wide-angle lens. You will be able to review sample videos and see which searches are filmed using zooms and pans and from what angles.

Do you film every search in a trial?

Due to a recent NACSW rule change (June 2018), we are currently able to film all interior elements at all trial levels. Please note that there may be some exceptions to that, as the NACSW requires that Certifying Officials (COs) approve camera placement. This sometimes results in some searches not being allowed. For this reason, we encourage you to check the sample videos of your trial.
