10 Reasons to Hire a Videographer -- Any Videographer --to
Shoot Your Event:
-
Sound and movement add dimensions that no photographer can capture.
- Y
ou will see and hear lots of things you did not witness.
- You
will see and hear lots of things you did witness, but don’t
remember!
- A
healthy dose of narcissism.
- A
healthy dose of curiosity.
- A
document of the ceremony and the vows, all the speeches and all
the toasts.
- If
a friend or relative videotapes your event, it probably won’t
look as good as a professional videographer.
- You
want a document of the whole event to show to friends and family
who were not there.
- You
want a document of the whole event to show to friends you don't
know yet and family you don't have yet.
- You
can't take many physical remembrances with you when your event
is over. A good video is something that can encapsulate all the
sounds, the sights, all the sense memories, and all the emotions
of your event, and bring them to life every time you watch it.
10
Reasons to Hire Me to Shoot Your Event:
- You
want someone who is very low maintenance on the day of your event.
You will hardly even see me.
- You
want someone who is aware of and sensitive to the people at your
event. Many of your guests won't even know I'm there.
- You
want someone who can get real moments, real details, and the big
picture without bugging people.
- You
don’t want someone with any assistants, or big cameras,
or lots of lights or microphones. I work on my own with a very
small camera, and with a very small light that I hardly ever use.
- You
want someone who is flexible enough and confident enough to accommodate
your personal vision, both in the shooting of the video and in
the editing of the video.
- You
want someone who really cares about what they do, and someone
who really loves what they do.
- You
want someone you can trust, who knows what they are doing, and
who won’t screw up.
- You
want someone who gets it done on time.
- You want
a final product that’s shot and edited to feel like a movie,
or a documentary, or a music video, or a TV show – NOT like
a cheesy wedding or event video.
- You,
your friends and your family won't be bored watching the video.
You'll want to watch it over and over again.
