Re: Time to change our marketing tactics??
I'm with you, Chris. Yesterday I started my first Facebook ad. I'm targeting women 22-34. I'm using my NYE wedding highlight that seems to be getting a good response.

Re: Treating a room for voiceovers
On the cheap side of things, I was going to say backdrop tripods strung with moving blankets from Lowes/Home Depot or quilts. That might not be enough for the room, but, for me, makes a lot of...

Never edited a wedding this quickly.
I am now a solo shooter at weddings, thanks to my, er, family situation. My New Year's eve wedding had hired me as their DJ, then, a few weeks before, added videography (my January 9th wedding has...

Re: I Guess I Just Need a Place to Think
I wonder why you'd want a camera to do both video and stills. When I shoot video, its pretty continuous, like, say, the entire ceremony. I'd want a separate camera for photos, so I don't miss...

Re: Cheap Camera for Beginner
If you use the focusing system on the Canon 70D, you want STM lenses so its quiet and smooth. However, when I shoot manual (like detail shots or scenery), I do something similar to you. I have a...

Otherwise, Chris is right about the guy's phone. He can even buy a nice lens kit for it for $100 per so its not so wide angle. If he wants to learn composition and other non-exposure triangle...

Don't worry, George Lucas isn't involved anymore. He's the one who kept going back and adding nonsense CGI to the originals (Han shot first, darn it). Return of the Jedi is the worst for all that. ...

Re: Tascam DR-40 Deal
I own one, don't need another, but that's cheap enough I'm considering buying it for backup. That's around regular pocket recorder pricing.
