Uploaded some recent projects. All shot on an XHA1.

Prepping up to advertise and try to get some paying work. Would love any pointers, feedback and critiques about the videos posted and the best way to get some paying work.

Videography

Thanks.

I would suggest moving your videos to a place like ExposureRoom - Providing Exposure & Opportunity for Talent

You can then embed the tags of your videos in your website. It looks much more professional than using youtube.

You might consider thaking the best parts of your videos and creating a demo reel. Also, unless you are only looking for one type of client, consider shooting some videos of a more secular nature to include in your demo reel to show that you can shoot a variety of subject matter.

The best way to get business is word of mouth. If you do good work, the word will spread. Advertising is fine, but personal recommendations go a long way to getting business.
