What kinds of production do you?

Exclusively high end real estate. Asked often to produce for others in the business but it's time consuming so I only do it for my own clients.

I do mostly music videos, audio recording and film burlesque shows.
I'm also a performing artist and DJ by accident (a 20 year long accident!).

Hope to expand the video/film parts. I like the performing arts though but there's not much money in it.

We're pretty exclusively for weddings, which includes Save the Date videos and a photo booth. Maybe, someday, we'll move over to include other kinds of work, but we're just too green and uninformed.

Now that sounds like fun, and something that I could branch out into from concerts. Anything to avoid doing weddings.

Since I posted back in March, I've added a pair of GoPro HD Hero 2 cameras to my kit, that I use to add some unique shots. One I particularly love is the "DrummerCam", a GoPro mounted just above the snare.

It comes in very handy, as some of the musicians I shoot are very short:

Thought I'd chime in here...

I've been playing with cameras since I was a kid, and doing it professionally for about 4 years now. I started a small video production business in January this year with the goal of growing my client base. It's primarily just me, with a couple of local freelancers that I contract out when I need the help.

I shoot on my JVC HM600 for event work, my new Sony EA50 for real estate, interviews, etc, and a Canon XA10 and GoPro 3 when I need them. I edit on Avid Media Composer and use After Effects and Photoshop for basic gfx work.

At the moment I'm doing a lot of real estate work, as well as promotional videos, events and even a couple of short documentaries and a TV commercial.

Still learning and making mistakes every day, and my price reflects that fact. Although so far I've had 100% extremely happy clients and a lot of word-of-mouth work :) Absolutely love the work, love the industry, life is good!

I fall under the class of amateur. I have a day job and I do this part time.

I have created various nature/wildlife productions. Some have been larger projects over years, which I have used as part of lectures that I do about a number of topics. Other projects have been smaller films for local nature based organizations. The idea for me is to do everything from shooting, editing, scripts, voiceover and even writing and recording the music. I guess my goal is to learn and get better with every project that I do.

I have also shot some video for larger professional productions such as one entitled "The Beaver Whisperers" which appeared on Canada's premiere nature/science program; "The Nature of Things".
