Re: Full-time vs. 2 Full-times
Thanks Joe, for the very encouraging post...I'm sure someday in the not so distant future I'll have the third job added to my list as well.
Oh, and I am pretty sure that "Jerry McGuire" moment is...

Re: Best stablizing software for Mac?
I don't have any input on stabilizers, but like Nigel said...There's plenty you can do, just don't beat yourself up about it. Use cutaways, even from different parts of the ceremony, or anything you...

Re: Full-time vs. 2 Full-times
Noel, sounds like we are in pretty much the same situation.
And don't get me wrong, I didn't start this thread to complain about having to do both jobs. I don't mind my day job, and that's what...

Re: Full-time vs. 2 Full-times
Yes, "us" meaning a husband and wife team. Sigmund, we don't make NEAR what you suggested yet, which is why it's not feasible to go full time with the wedding video biz. The "day" job is a 9-5 desk...

Re: What order do you edit your footage?
Like Tim, we sort through everything marking good video and sound bytes.
I usually do a trailer, and most of the time - although not always - that doubles as my DVD motion menu. Something 1...

Re: Full-time vs. 2 Full-times
wow Ben, that is very ambitious. I'm at least lucky enough to have a no-brainer 9-5 that I get to leave every day and not bring home with me. Exactly why I accepted the job in the first place, so I...

Full-time vs. 2 Full-times
I know that a lot of you are full time at the wedding video gig. But I thought it would be interesting to see who wasn't.

There are a lot of threads on here about packages, but some of them pretty old, so I thought I would check in and see what others were offering now.
