Why
does editing
seem to take so long?
|
As a movie, your wedding program should flow like
a story. Stories contains a 3-act structure: a beginning,
a middle and an end. Even if you can't exactly pinpoint
them, you can sense that 3-act progression when you
watch a movie. This is why even my shortest video
package contains a minimum of 3 parts.
Editing takes a lot more time and effort than one would
expect. It is a painstaking creative process as well as
a technical wonder that takes a lot of brain power. The
more time I have to think about it, the better your video
will be. Remember how long is has taken you to plan your
wedding? Love takes time and so does video!

How
many weddings do you do in a weekend?
|
Usually
just one per weekend. Occasionally I'll do a second one
if it's near Burbank. |

How
far do you travel?
|
I
usually stick around Southern California and there is
a fee scale for travel based on distance. If you're less
than 20 miles away then it's free. If you pay for airfare,
cab & lodging then I'll fly to any English speaking
country!

What
kinds of equipment do you use?
|
I use as many
as 5 cameras at the ceremony and as many as 3 at the reception.
I prefer cameras that are small and easily concealed as
this makes people more comfortable and leads to more natural
performances. Make an appointment and I'll be glad to
introduce you to my equipment. Panasonic. Sony. Apple.
Senheiser. My prinary cameras are the Panasonic DVX100A
and Sony HD. Secondary cameras are smaller Sony 3-chips.

What
back-up equipment do you bring?
|
I think 5 cameras
is plenty. They act as back-ups for each other. I also
bring a 10/20 watt light for extra dark locations.

Half
the total or $500, whichever is lower. $100 of the deposit
is non-refundable. Personal checks preferred. The rest

are made otherwise.

My
wedding is in the morning and my banquet reception is
at night. Do I have to pay for the in-between hours too?
|
Yes. Down-time hours are $50 each. The gap between events
must be at least 2 hours for that time to be considered
"downtime."
