Re: Another Stupid Idea

It's a pretty neat idea actually. I wouldnt want to edit that much bad footage but still, a good idea.

I see this as doing us no harm whatsoever. Those who can afford a pro and want one will still...

Re: Best wedding Videographer/Photographer website

Templates are totally cool. Ours is a template but we like to tweak the hell out of it so its not like any one elses.

The problem with a totally bespoke site is the developers seem to love using...

Re: Best wedding Videographer/Photographer website

We've actually just got a report back from yoast. We paid for their website review and they seem cool about the titles but saynwe need more content and a few other tweaks. The new site has that...

Re: Best wedding Videographer/Photographer website

Its important to get a design which reflects you and your brand. Photographers love black for some reason :)

For us we have a video banner front and centre. It's what we do afterall. No background...

Re: A Wedding or a Funfair?

The merry go round was already there. 120 years old and forms part of the venue. I think the ferris wheel and the sideshow games were all brought in.

Re: Mic Set-up Suggestions

Boob mic!

Use Rode undercovers to affix the lav to the inside of her dress between the boobs. Even brides with a more modest chest have enough of a cavity to safely keep the mic from rubbing.

Re: A Wedding or a Funfair?

But because the day is such a huge production now it means we can charge more. The value of a guy who turns up to film a ceremony and speech is little. But when they have these lavish affairs it...

Re: My USB packaging.

Those are some nice boxes. Ours are always well received.

For those who print their own custom boxes or cases you really can save time and get a better image by just using a branded Disk and...

Re: Copyright for church service?

Hi Peter. You need an MCPS licence. These cost around £12 and you need one for each event.

When doing what we do we need 2 licences. The first, the MCPS gives you permission to record any...

Re: Parking woes again

Are you shooting on your own?

When we face this in London we normally drop off the gear while the other shooter parks up. Then after they go get the car to load up.

How does the church handle...

Re: Manfrotto Plate Oddness

They look like those little plastic connectors from Lego Technic. You know the ones which you had to use your teeth to remove.

Re: Hard Drive Failure - It does happen

10TB is a lot cheaper now. That setup was speced out a good few years ago now.

The off site backup is also used for live work. We have one at home and one in the office and the instant replication...

Re: Lens cap PITA

Just remove them all at the start of your shoot and leave them in the bag.

I havent kept a cap on during a shoot for 8 years. Dust isnt as much of a problem as you may think.

Re: Hard Drive Failure - It does happen

If you go for RAID 5 you also need backups. RAID 5 will only protect you against a single drive failure, more if you have more redundant disks in the array. But you still need to be ready for entire...

Re: What gives with these lights

Theres no way to WB out the colour but I find if you use a daylight temp of 6000-7000k it stops it being so bright and neon.

Watch strictly come dancing on the BBC and you will see they get the...

Re: What Is It With Vintage Wedding Themes?

It's not vintage. That was so 2013. Its Shabby Chic now :)

The whole jam jar thing is weird. I think it started in America when a few folks, looking to save money decided to use their dads jam jar...

Re: Keeping Track of Inquires, Sent Contracts, Bookings, etc.

Sure can. I have one which simply sends the pre wedding questionnaire 6 weeks before the wedding. I then have follow up automations which run 3 and then 1 week before to chase them if they still...

Re: Camera size no longer important?

Couples never (ok, rarely) cared about how big our gear was. The only people who ever thought it was relevant were videographers. If anything they would prefer it to be small.

Re: Keeping Track of Inquires, Sent Contracts, Bookings, etc.

+1 for Tave here. I can honestly say we wouldn't be where we are now without it. And once you tap into automations you will wonder why you ever did things manually. I wake up and it's emailed invoice...

Re: Who is just doing a hightlight film and giving away raw footage?

Raw footage is just that. Footage straight from cards. Copy to a USB stick and done. Occasionally they may ask for it to be converted into iPhone friendly format so I just run it through Handbrake.

I should also add that with our velbons we use Manfrotto heads as the velbon heads tend to struggle with the 70-200 IS lens. Wont be so bad if we use the lens mount to give it better balance but were...

Re: Who is just doing a hightlight film and giving away raw footage?

Never give away the raw footage.

I don't know why couples want it but they do. At least half take it and we charge for it. It's one of our highest profit items.

They never have the money for...
