Given those statistics, wedding videography appears to have a growth industry. Let's do the math for a moment. Consider an experienced videographer, charging $ 2,500 for an average wedding, a wedding shoot per week. In one year, that person has earned $ 130,000. But it would be a very hard working videographer - videographers most of us said that they 40 hours editing each wedding video is spent, which means a weekly shoot off with hardly any time will constitute nearly constant-travail spoke.
Would be a great success story that high-end videographer Kris Malandruccolo, whose company Elegant Videos by Kris in Chicago has been working for over 16 years. Her business as much as $ 5,000 for a wedding video package can be ordered and regularly signs contracts for $ 3000 wedding. But the mother of three do not work all the time, it limits itself. "No shoot four or five per month. Maybe I average two or three weddings a month" he told Digital Media Net.
By Luisa Winters, an award-winning videographer and editor of its wedding videography business, Unforgettable Events, their services to the wedding videographers charge under $ 2000 - $ 20,000 - high-end wedding video as much as $ 15,000 with companies in charge. "I do not consider anyone a true professional until they have enough to support themselves with this business are able to make money" Winters told Digital Media Net. "- And you are still a side business professionals and a family assistant to some different parts of the country you are located depends on the meaning of things if you are in a less expensive place, then less income will be sufficient .. " Winters added.
Cost of $ 2,000 - $ 5,000 and up, it's their own wedding video shoots, or getting a friend or relative of the family would be interested in taking control of the camcorder looks like amateurs. But Internet message boards for wedding videographers videographers on the stories of the first break with the camcorder is full of shooting an entire wedding ceremony, only to find after all was said and done, rolling the floor with lots of artistic shots start and finish anything. According to videographer / editor Luisa Winters, "amateurs are taking a bite out of the wedding videographer business, but that's just right for low-end videographers." The low end to high end shooters make things better, thinks the difference in quality between the two is increasing. "More-educated brides have a video like the professionals they willing to pay before the advent of inexpensive devices used to think paying a lot more than an amateur wedding video and a professional one between The difference is huge. will, and since people are willing to pay top dollar. "Sometimes quality can be considered quite basic, such as can, you can hear the bride and groom are saying ? "You really have to worry about the audio portion of it, you know. There is a lot involved," Chris Malandruccolo, in addition to being a successful wedding videographer Illinois Event Association president said.
Playground being low cost, high quality equipment imposed by the rich? According to Winters, "The quality of image and editing capabilities less important fact is that now you have become a better storyteller, you have to be a better artist ... After all, we used pen and paper but we can not write all the great American novel, is not Shakespeare and Mozart only worked with pen and paper ", and yet they gave us the works beyond that time. Not all equipment is determined by .
Then editing, a process many newlyweds are not equipped to handle is. "As you know, what business does anyone know editing is a time consuming process," Malandruccolo said. "I take tons of family videos but none of my personal stuff is edited, because there is no time so I was not getting paid, so I can not edit because it is very time-consuming, Especially if you do not. it all the time that I think a lot of people., especially if they have the money, just say 'do it for me. "Malandruccolo that it is just the time element for admission barrier does not want, but it is required to produce a polished professionalism. "The end result is that you have a better quality videos as I emphasize to my clients., It is a family heirloom you only have one shot to get it right, and you do it over, therefore Being that it can. a family heirloom, if you look at it this way, they are willing to invest money in it. and I've never had a customer say they're sorry that they spend money on video customers just do not '. T says, "Malandruccolo added.
Wedding Videography in the past 20 years, where digital video shooting and editing video production is a kind of highly sophisticated technology that once was enough to have been brought on fundamental has changed. In those days it was typical to all the editing with a video camera to take place in a simple, point and shoot was produced at about $ 1,000 to spend. But now, with the power of digital technology, videographers 3 chip DV camcorders and are taking advantage of sophisticated editing setups, exceptional construction, many of which are doing the right thing art is.
Shooting functions, most wedding videographers Sony PD150 or 2000 VX, XL1 and Canon GL2, Panasonic AG-DVX100 like or 3 - chip camcorders use DV camcorders in the league. Winters said, "Most wedding videographers (3 - CCD) is the acquisition, the DV for the rational use, because the cost is low, quality high, and above all, camcorder weighs so little now that the videographers with small units are more creative than they are for, say, five or six years ago, where the cameras large. Now get good money for a great professional-looking camcorder is videotaping weddings were able to able. In fact, many customers prefer smaller units than larger ones because they are less obtrusive.
