Travis, the problem is that many videographers are starting to call themselves cinematographers just because they shoot with a DSLR. It won't take long for the word "cinematographer" to become...

This is incredible and should be marketed for all videographers. Mind if I post it on my Facebook?

hey Ken. Thanks. It's 8ft. That's a SDE so I had my editor operate it. He saw the crane for the first time that day.

My first wedding with a crane. It's the Cobra Crane, straight out of the box. No pan/swivel head and no weights. Takes about 30 seconds to set up. Let me know what you think:

Randy, we are talking strictly the reception. I think once the dancing starts, there's not much of a difference between a cinematographer and a videographer...is there?

I think once the reception dancing starts, we are all pretty much just videographers at that point. In a movie, everything is set up around the camera's positioning, it doesn't work that way at a...

Sure, you could film everyone pink/blue but I don't believe that is what the bride intended. When she is hiring a DJ to use those lights, it's for room effect, not for skin tones. Check out the...

Name Change

As of now, I'm listed as "Videography". It seems everyone is now using the term "cinematography" or "cinema" and they have been watered down. I've been thinking about changing the name of my...

I just can't see how a light stand will be able to light up just what you are shooting and not the entire dance floor. I really think you need an on camera light to follow the action. There must...

I shoot DSLR all by myself and use 2-3 camera's during the ceremony. I have no problem with the 12 minute limit and don't understand all the hysteria surrounding it.
