Tips & Tricks

 

Charitable Organizations

We recently produced a video presentation for the local Blue Stars Mothers organization in our community.  A great organization that sends care packages to our military troops stationed overseas.  You can visit Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc.  to find a local organization in you community. We highly reccomend finding a charitable organization to share your services. Click below to view the presentation honoring our local soldiers.

 

 

 


 

Email Tip 

When sending or replying to emails use a signature that includes your company name, web site address and phone number.  In our world of conveniences, we quickly pull up an email on our computer, Blackberry, PDA or iPhone, why not make it that much easier for someone to contact you or give out your contact information when pulling up your email.

So often we receive emails from videographers, whom I might just give a quick call or I want to refer them for a job, but they sign their email with only their name and no contact information.  You never know where your next referral will come from, always include your contact information  within your email signature. It just makes good business sense.

Here is an example:

Fisheye Comparison

Here is a comparison of the Sony Z1 stock lens and the Raynox HDR FXR-180 .24 fisheye. With the fisheye lens, the camera doesn't have to travel as great a distance to achieve the desired effect from the motion.

 


 

 

 DVD Sales at Recitals or School Plays

Film a portion of the dress rehearsal the night prior to the event. Then the night of the event while pre selling the DVDs have a TV playing your sample from the dress rehearsal. This gives parents an good impression of the quality of the DVD. Also make a title that goes horizontal and vertical along the edge of the video that advertises the cost of the DVD.
