Aloha means Good bye (and hello).

Since we're trying to get this right...

a haole is a white person. (not hauli).

On another note... I am thinking of going to the WEVA convention next month... anyone else going?

I am not sure about going to WEVA convention.

I am going to open myself up for a punch here but I am not sure it is worth the money.

I have viewed a number of WEVA members videos that really were not that good.

I recently viewed a video made in 2003 by one of the speakers at this years WEVA convention and it really lacked originality the endless fades and poor choice of music would put you to sleep in no time.

If you don’t have a clue about how to get started then it will probably do you some good but, if you are a creative editor that knows your software and people like your work you may be better off being an original than one of the followers. If you need inspiration watch wedding TV.

Just my opinion I could be wrong.
(I do stay booked year around because people like my work.)

Ron do you have a website for the Wedding videos you do- if not do you have any clips to share. I'd love to see some of your work, as with anyone else on here that has the means to post. Thanks!

If you are curious about the WEVA convention, first try out one of their 'Town Meetings.' I went to one and then decided that NAB was better for looking at equipment.

I find many of the WEVA folks to be great but there is this undercurrent of pomposity that is very similar to the view of the world that some PPA-types exude. I understand that to charge a lot of money for a video, one has to have a good bedside manner. But some of it "fair puts me off," as my Engish friends would say.

I too think some of the work is just terrible. About on the level of a first effort by a beginning student.

No wedding website it is still under construction. I will post it as soon as it is up.

I am so busy it is not a big priority right now.

As soon as things slow down I will get back on it.

Well, I guess I got sucked in by the menu of events.

It appears to be a very good and full schedule, covering many topics of interest to me... and although I may not like the finished product - some of the techniques should be interesting.

I made my flight reservations a little while ago, so I guess I'm in.

I hope it will be worth my time and expense!

Doug have fun I will be glade to hear what you learn from it.

Could be a nice vacation.

I have been to a lot of seminars.

I always learn something even if it is that I won’t do that again.

Thanks, Ron.

Yeah, that's kinda the way I was looking at it... a vacation at the worst... and I should manage to learn something, so it can't be all bad...

Come to think of it... I've been to some seminars that I walked away knowing what NOT to do!
