LH Video Services for Human Rights!

The 19th International Human Rights Summit is a distinguished global forum hosted by United for Human Rights and its youth initiative, Youth for Human Rights International, in collaboration with leading non-governmental organizations. This summit reflects a growing international commitment to promoting human dignity, equality, and justice through education, dialogue, and global cooperation.

Held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City—one of the core cities in which LH Video Services operates—the summit serves as a vital platform for fostering awareness and action on pressing human rights issues worldwide.

The values championed by this summit deeply resonate with the mission and principles of LH Video Services' Founder and CEO Lee Hopp, along with Vice President Jody Hopp. Lee and Jody have long upheld a commitment to human rights as a foundational pillar of their company—believing strongly in caring for and empowering those they work with and support.

In recognition of this shared vision, LH Video Services proudly donated their resources to ensure the summit was professionally filmed and documented. Their contribution was made with care and purpose: to amplify the summit’s message and ensure that its powerful call for human rights reaches audiences far beyond the UN’s walls. This act reflects not only a professional commitment but a humanitarian one—demonstrating how businesses can meaningfully support and uplift their communities and the global movement for human rights.

Shoutout to our camera operator Mike Simo for helping us document this important moment with care and precision.

How important is good communication on set!

As a video assist operator and doing playback for the Director on set having a good intercom system is vital to make sure that you hear what the Director needs from you.

Keeping the Director happy is the name of the game. We have different ways to communicate and our video assist systems have built into them an intercom system.

We also have stand alone systems that enable us to set up with our portable systems if needed. The Directors box has the ability to either hear everything they are saying (Open) or the Director can use the Push to Talk feature (PTT). It’s hard wired from the Director Video Village to our Qtake Cart.

This way we can be 1-200’ away and still be in good communication. Next we will go over how we use Qtake Local Streaming to stream to an iPad on set and still be able to communicate with the Director or Visual Effects Director!

Another LH Video Client Success

Client: “We need to shoot with five cameras in Times Square. Two need to be on the ground, handheld, and the other three need to be positioned in buildings overlooking Military Island. The director wants to see all five cameras and have playback to review the shots.”

WOW! Times Square can be a nightmare to shoot in. But after carefully working through the logistics, we came up with a game plan that was as successful as Tom Brady was as a quarterback.

We deployed three Cinevue transmitters and receivers to the cameras in the buildings, each on its own channel. We got great signals and pulled it off seamlessly.

I always aim for success—and in this business, you never really know if a plan will work until you test it. Well, we didn’t have a test day for this one, and we totally pulled it off.

We’re always here to discuss and plan out what you need. It’s what we love to do—and then execute it.

Our Story

Video Assist is a position on a film set that enables other people than the camera operator to see what the action looks like. This would include the recording of sound if there was any dialogue being recorded at the same time.

It is used for evaluation purposes. The main people that use it are the Director, Producers or Clients to make sure that they have the shot before they move onto the next shot.

The use of video assist is beneficial to all crew members on a set in case they need to make sure that things match from a previous shot or something was not right in the scene. It can be reviewed with specialized recording systems that keep track of the different scenes shot.

I was involved in helping to develop and bring to market in 2009 a software program that has revolutionized the video assist position. It’s called QTake HD and has been the go-to system for over 10 years. It enables us to record multiple cameras at a time and keep track of each shot and be able to recall them in a fraction of a second. One amazing feature is the ability to create Visual Effects Shot (VFX) live on set. Basically shooting someone on a Green Screen and putting in a background that is not there as if it was there. We can also provide images wirelessly to iPads via wifi. Pretty amazing stuff!
