• Non-Profit Production •

At Big Sky Digital we have a commitment to providing quality television and video production for those individuals and organizations that are often left out of the video revolution due to limited budgets or lack of expertise. We believe that professional video production doesn't have to be beyond the reach of those people and organizations that are often doing the most important work in our society.

As the consolidation of the corporate media continues to grow and the number and diversity of voices continues to decline, it is becoming increasingly difficult for activists, community groups and organizations and progressive nonprofits to find media outlets for their ideas. We have a commitment to leveling the playing field by providing quality video production at affordable rates.

Through years of experience producing hundreds of hours of video & film production we have developed an efficient and flexible production style that produces a watchable and engaging video regardless of the subject manner.

Combining this experience with an interest in history, science, literature, performing arts, social and economic justice and the environment as well as a commitment to our community, we have been providing a televised voice for our local small businesses, nonprofits and community organizations.

• Radio Production •

Television and radio commercials that sell. That’s our specialty at Big Sky Digital. Turn to us for your television and radio advertising production and you’ll be surprised that the old adage of “Good, inexpensive and fast – pick two” doesn’t apply – we build all three aspects into every piece of television and radio commercial production we do. We have the enviable ability to take a “local” commercial and make it sound “national”. That’s just one of the things that separates us from other radio recording studios.

Next time you’re looking for great radio production, ask yourself how quick and easy it is to book sessions even with short notice, have nationally-known voiceover talent at your disposal, get quick turnaround when you need it, and end up with a product that is of the same or higher quality than spots produced at other audio recording studios for 10 times the price. If the radio recording studio you’re using now doesn’t meet all those criteria with each and every project you do, then it’s time to give Big Sky Digital a call, and see what happens when we put the client ahead of everything else.

Although we don't deal with audio recording for bands, we do welcome the opportunity to help you with anything from your first demo cd to your director's reel for the Emmys. Contact us for a FREE CD or Cassette Demo.

DVD Disc Care

DVD’s quickly exploded onto the market and people everywhere were scurrying to replaced their VHS tapes with DVDs. They do not come without their problems, though. The following lists some tips for keeping your DVDs in good working order and describes some common problems that you may find in your DVD collection.

These tips are designed to help you keep you DVDs in top condition. Following these tips will not guarantee your DVDs will last forever, but will prevent them from becoming damaged unnecessarily.

- Keep DVDs in their case when not in use.
- Keep DVDs out of the sun and away from heat.
- Always hold the DVD by the edge and in the middle hole. Never touch the surface with your fingers.
- Use a special cleaning cloth to wipe them clean. Avoid using anything that could scratch the surface. Compressed air can also be used to blow dust off.
- Wipe the DVD from the inside to the edge in one smooth stroke. - Avoid bending the DVD when at any time.
- When removing a DVD from its case push the center button so it pops up and remove it gently. Do not pull on it.
- Do not stack DVDs out of their case.

Common problems you may experience with your DVDs are related both to use and manufacturing. The protective film on the underside of the DVD can bubble up or start to peel away. This problem can be due to manufacturing issues or from heat, stacking the DVD or rubbing against the surface. When this occurs the DVD becomes useless as the player can not read it. Any scratches will immediately make the DVD useless. Another big problem comes form bending the DVD. DVDs are made in layers and bending them can cause these layers to separate.

Most people invest much time and money into their collection and by following these simple tips you can avoid common problems that would make your DVD collection useless.
