First thing is to take those prices down. Your prospects, when first viewing your website, simply don't know enough about what it is you do, and what they really want, to be able to make any sort of informed decision on what they can afford. Prices can be okay sometimes, for products/services that a prospective client already has a good understanding of, but with wedding video production, that's pretty rare to start off with prospects that even have much of a clue.

To the guys here thinking about going to HD for weddings
 

I just got my FX1 yesterday, have fiddled with it just a little, and I'll just say that my first impression is a good one and believe this will be a very workable camera for weddings.

Say, I hope I haven't come off arrogantly or anything. This is a great bunch of folks at dvinfo. I really appreciate the things you guys teach me and I'm more than happy to share some of the stuff I've managed to learn along life's journey, from being in a number of marketing/sales/advertising related jobs and being involved in a few business ventures over the years. I've also got something of a computer background (build em, fix em, program em), so I try to offer what I can there sometimes too. My dad was a computer programmer from way back to almost the stone age (he's long since retired), and had me writing my first program (to play tic-tac-toe) back in the early 1960s, when I was like 7 or so, so I got exposed to computers pretty early in life, way before they were commonplace.

One of the things that's worked pretty well for me over the years is to sort of analyze sales, as a process you engage in, and break the components of the process down so you can find strategies and tactics to maximize the efficiency of getting sales and increase the odds of making those sales good deals for both buyer and seller (not just volume, but quality).

I'm 48 now, and I've decided I want to do something I really enjoy from here on out. I'm a bit of a maverick, and not the type to work for somebody else in an office very long (it's just not for me). And I enjoy making video immensely, so that's what I've set my mind to doing. I want to do it well and make a good living at it, just like you guys do, and just like most folks at dvinfo. You guys do some great work, and I'm learning a heck of a lot from you. I appreciate it.

I don't think you have come off arrogant. Just supportive which is really what this place is all about.

I'm glad you guys see the problem I had to deal with, and you havn't even met or worked with the guy... I'm sure we all have or all will have to work with someone similar to this at some point. You just have to shrug your shoulders, laugh it off, and make the best of it.

We've seen his website Matt (and that alleged "video"), so it's difficult to imagine you were exaggerating much ...LOL.
