I think there was a time years back when wedding video was a commodity. A video of your wedding was worth $500 for a short one, and double or triple that for a long one. Today a competent wedding video is not a commodity - its more like a painting than a porkbelly. There are many people with all sorts of equipment and software, who are prepared to work for nothing/experience/starting out/demo reel. For the person who wants a video that's...

If scheduling is already a problem for you, why kill all your family weekends competing on over-supplied weddings, I would suggest instead looking to join up with a legal video firm instead. The pay is better, you work days, not nights, and the work is less drama-filled generally. Shooting depositions, or helping shoot a prospectus video, was a great part-time gig for me after college, and lord knows there's got to be plenty of demand,...

I am sure like many of you here, I had a nice little niche, didn't make much money, but it was headed in the right direction.... until... well, this recession hit. I watched my niche drift away, and from all indications, it's not coming back for some time yet, as those I was shooting, are involved in an industry, that mandates expendable income be spent, for them to be working. So I have been looking around and wracking my brain,...

They need to re-set their TV or their player to anamorphic, it sounds like.

Douglas - is that the wedding video that gets delivered, or an extended highlights?

what i like to do is pick a slow song and a fast song, mixed in with the bouquet, garter, cake cutting, etc. i use natural audio from the reception only if it's something special. maybe something mixed up by the bridal party or something.
what i have started doing to shorten the length of the receptions is (where appropriate) put the cake cutting and the garter toss at the end, or ...

Show shots of the vows. You can screw up almost everything else, but the Bride's entrance, THE VOWS, and the exit are the key.
Well-composed and shot vows shots with great audio will convince the watcher that you know what you're doing. The audio makes the biggest difference between Uncle Charlie's on-camera shotgun mic from the tenth row, and your wireless lav on the groom getting every ...

Base it on the hours you're going to put in shooting and editing. Have you figured your day rate or hourly rate yet?

Bob,
We use compressor and have for the last 9 years to convert HD to DVD and it works beautifully. Well enough that a lot of screen manufacturers used our DVD's to demo their screens until Blue Rey and HDDVD came out.
Also if you're ever looking for some neat HD American Stock footage or clips from Africa, India or china stop by our website at http://WWW.Bennett-Watt-HD-Stock-...

If the camera sits on a tripod, why can't you just run a cable from the video-output port to the input of a 99-dollar tunerless DVD recorder from walmart (and send audio from a mixer)? Records in real time, then takes between 30 seconds to five minutes to "finalize" the disk before you can hand it over, and it plays in any DVD player or computer. Spend a bit more for a disk replicator, and you ...
