Boyd, I didn't think I was disrespecting their traditions or beliefs. I was just asking why a business would close for 7 days. We're way too touchy about beliefs in this country anymore.

As far...

Well, I found a ladder online today that is 10' with a nice standing platform on the top. It has a "safety railing" on 3 sides at 12', which is where I would rig up the camera. It's not as high as...

Hey, Matt, thanks for the links. I stepped up and ordered 2 of the VZ Rock model of the Varizoom line today. My shoot is in a week and a half, so you're right that 1-2 weeks would have eliminated...

Yeah, especially since one of the shots will be on grass (unstable perhaps?) and the other will be over pavement (ouch?). d:-)

I'll probably also throw some sandbags across the bottom steps.

Well, all I'm really interested in for these specific shots is a high POV. I actually don't want any movement.

However, a 24-foot ladder is going to cost me more than $100 anyways. May I ask...

I was experimenting with $0.30 a mile this year. Our market already seems to have a hard time spending ANY money on video. Tacking on $400 (for hotel and gas) might be too much for a lot of our...

Chris,

That's exactly my thinking. I don't think people tip often in my market (for anything). I also think they perceive the DJ/Caterer/Etc. as providing service and me as just providing a...

Joshua:
I was looking at cranes at B&H. Didn't seem like I'd get much higher than using a ladder, and a lot more expensive. Good idea, though.

Sam:
I considered lifts as well, but one of the...

Yeah, I didn't used to charge for mileage to travel to a wedding, but now I do for any wedding that is an hour or more away. It just adds up too quick.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll look into get a larger ladder maybe. I had thought of scaffolding already, but I'm not sure where to get that at. Maybe a rental place also. I might also just have to...

I hear you Peter. We work full days for weddings (usually 10-12 hours). We also cover rehearsal and rehearsal dinners. I've even covered brunches the day AFTER the wedding. Never gotten a tip. ...

Do you get TIPPED?

Saw this mentioned in another post, but I didn't want to derail the post. My question is whether or not couples are tipping you after you provide your videography services on their wedding day.
