Mt. Eden Event Video
 

Not sure this is the right section (mods feel free to move) but this is the event/wedding video page so I figure I'd post up for some feedback.

I just registered to the forum today. I've been filming and editing event video for various electronic artists since this January, in my spare time (being an engineering student sucks up a lot of time), I've made about 6 in total. It essentially started out because I attended a Skrillex show and my buddy was doing video. He was too busy to edit, so I said I'd do it, for free. I had nothing done anything like it before, so thus the journey began. Now I own a Canon T3i, and shoot mostly with a 24 F1.4 lense with an LED light on the show or around the lense. I've also shot some video with the 5DMKII.

Anyway, what I would like to know is:

What can I improve upon? I know that some of my shots are shakier than I want, it's tough recording in a crowd of people who are dancing and having fun. I'm looking at steady cams but I don't want to sacrifice movement. I also would like to get into color grading a bit, but other than that, what can you guys recommend? I think most of you shoot wedding, recitals, and the other concert, so this might be a bit different but shoot me what you have. The promoters have, so far, been pleased with the videos, but I'd like to improve as much as possible.

The other question I have is rates. I spent roughly 6 hours for that video. It's definately getting quicker, the first two videos I had spend over 20 hours each although it was also my first time using premiere and after effects. My rates right now are $250-$300 for a 1.5 to 2.5 minute long video, including editing, processing/rendering, and shooting. Let me know what you think, I'm aware I have a lot to learn and am essentially completely new to all of this. Thanks!
