Re: Client wants to edit my contract
Mike,
IMHO it sounds like they're sorta copping an ego trip. As you mentioned, if they're so adamant on it they should have their own boilerplate contracts to send to the videographers they farm...

Re: Sony PXW x70
Personally I'd like to see the VG series continue, but with a bit of an overhaul. Take the 4k DSLR's & sensors and fit it into a camcorder body & ergonomics, addon an XLR input. Either a VG40 or a...

Re: Request suggestions for Wedding Cake Cutting
I agree looks like a novice phtoographer to do something like that. Especially an outdoor ceremony, how do they not have a zoom lens?? I can understand a catholic church where you're 15-20 aisles...

Re: The end of computers?
I'm not sure 'a resounding' is needed. Many millenials have no interest in and will probably never own a desktop. Many won't even bother with a laptop, its smartphone all the way for them.

Re: 60p
Ever think about switching to the camcorder just for portraits & bridal party shots? It makes it soo much easier for indoor/outdoor usage, and most still capture a beautiful shot outdoors. The ND...

Re: Sony PXW x70
How do you plan on using it for "Church Events"? I only ask because it could be overkill. If all you need is a small camera for webcasting or livestreaming mass you can probably do it for less, the...

Re: If I Could Only Afford It
Just curious, why are they 'out of vogue'? Have realtors found them an unneccesary expense, or not worth the ROI?
But yeah, nice property. Pool, scenic views, horse stable & everything.

Re: Do You Charge Clients For Cancellations?
I find it odd a judge wouldn't be able to grasp the concept of 'booking' a date, and the videographer therefore 'making themselves unavailable' on said date.
Admittedly if it got to the point of a...

Re: PXW-X70 live streaming quality
Just curious, do you work for the news station (payroll), or are you a stringer/freelancer of sorts.
Pretty nice quality, impressive setup for such a DIY rig.

Re: Could use some advice on bidding this
Hopefully they're sufficient. Take it or leave it now. Don't worry if they write back it's too high, let it go. Don't get yourself into a project that'll become too much of a burden.
