The following questions are
frequently asked by our customers. We are listing the questions with answers to
orient you in making the important decisions about your wedding video:
Question: Is
there really much of a difference between the quality of a professionally
produced wedding video and one my friend could do?
Answer: Yes!
How much better a singer is Whitney Houston compared to your friend? How much
better is Billy Joel on the piano compared to your friend? How much better is a
professional videographer compared to your friend? There is no comparison. True
professionals create works of art with their tools. Our tools are professional
video cameras and state-of-the art editing equipment. Our results are pure
artistry!
Question: How
much should I pay for my wedding video?
Answer: There
is no right or wrong answer to this question. The brides who typically are the
unhappiest after the wedding aren't the ones who scrimped on the cake, flowers
or gown. They are the ones who scrimped on the videography. When your wedding
day has passed, you can never reconstruct it. Only the video combines the sights
and sounds and wraps it all together to re-create the magic whenever you want
it. That's why video is the ultimate art form for reliving happy memories.
Question: How
should I shop for a wedding videographer?
Answer: Ask
for referrals from family and friends. Go beyond just the Yellow Pages. You'll
find them featured in bridal publications and special mailings. Ask the
videographers you talk to for referrals and testimonials from other brides. And
go beyond price in your telephone conversations with professional videographers.
Although price is an important consideration to you, it is not the only
consideration. No price is a good price if you don't like the quality of the
finished product. Ask if they specialize in big weddings or small weddings. Ask
if they use many special effects in their work. Ask if they specialize in
special religious ceremonies. Ask if they have ever videotaped a wedding in the
location where you plan to be married.
These
questions are good icebreakers and allow you and the videographer to begin to
establish a rapport. This is important to you, because you'll want to work with
a videographer you like and trust, as well as a videographer who does good work
within your budget.
Most
importantly, view their work.
Question:
What is the biggest mistake a bride can make when it comes to having her wedding
video-taped?
Answer:
Using a non-professional videographer. You may have friends or family members
who would like to contribute to your wedding efforts in some capacity. They may
want to shoot your wedding for you. Be careful you don't spoil a family
relationship. Your friend or "Uncle Charlie" would feel terrible if
something went wrong. More importantly, an amateur's efforts don't compare in
quality to what a professional can do for you. We'll show you what we mean when
you see our Demo Video.
Question:
Are there any other questions we should ask of a professional videographer?
Answer:
Yes. Ask if they subscribe to an industry publication. Ask if the belong to a
videography association. Ask if they ever attend industry Expos, conventions, or
seminars. The videographer who does one or more of these is more likely to be
up-to-date on cutting-edge techniques and equipment breakthroughs.
Questions:
Is a well-done, professionally produced wedding video really worth the money?
Answer:
Is your love story worth remembering? If you answer yes to this question, you
need a professional wedding videographer at your wedding. Remember: professional
wedding videography is the ultimate art form for reliving happy memories.
