On Camera Lights

I never tried the 900, but the 1800 has a dimmer that goes from 'just barely' to 'blinding' and all stops in between :) The light weighs a pound without the battery, but i am able to still balance i…

Nope! I did, however, do a wedding for way below my usual rate for a relative up in Ohio, and then all my relatives up there began calling me, to do the same thing, for the same rate! Had to explain that that first one was a favor, and that the cost…

I cut my chops on a friend's wedding video. I was the best man, and was not videotaping. My wife and some other friends taped it, and I later obtained the footage and edited it down. Since back then (3 years ago) I was still using Windows Movie Make…

Hi Brian I have never been asked to film a wedding but the question is justified i think. I agree with you never filming a wedding as a gift. But what if you're invited to a wedding by close friends? Fact is, if they expect you to make a good video,…

Asked to film a wedding for free as a gift to a family member?

OK, who's been asked to film a wedding as a gift to a relative?My wife's brother got engaged. The second she began the sentence 'what if you...'I cut her off right there. I said 'I certainly hope you aren't going to ask me to film his wedding as '…

Michael David Kuhlman replied to Brian MacKenzie's discussion 'Competition - Friendly or Cutthroat?' in the group Wedding Video Production

Since I subcontract for much of my competition as a shooter, for me, it's friendly. I don't pay to advertise, they do, so I know the score--they should get the lion's share of the bookings. Since I prefer to shoot than edit anyway, it's a win-win fo…
