jmfreefly 0 #1 April 5, 2004 Just got an email from a tandem student whose video I shot almost 2 years ago, asking if I would do video at her wedding. Unfortnately it was on a weekend, and wasn't enough incentive to drag me from the dropzone. Anybody else get offers like that?? j Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #2 April 5, 2004 I have, a few times... have always declined... I don't get to spend enough time at the DZ to begin with... and I would not hire a wedding videographer to shoot a tandem... why would it go the other way... its a different kind of work.

jmfreefly 0 #5 April 5, 2004 ha! I wouldn't mind doing the job, except for two major things: 1) When she did her tandem, she left her shoes at the dz. I knew she lived up somewhere close to me, so I brought them up for her to pick up. After trying several times to get her to pick them up, she finally had me mail them to her (like maybe 20 miles away). What a dingbat. 2) She said she wanted it done on a very tight budget. ha! (and of course it was on a weekend!) j Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #6 April 5, 2004 I would suggest that she find someone who specializes in that type of event... it is, after all, a once in a lifetime event (well, its supposed to be...)

nacmacfeegle 0 #7 April 6, 2004 Yeah, I've done a few for work, filming fire and explosion tests, and the performance of big fire fighting systems. Mostly from fixed cameras and the hard part was presenting it on CDrom, with embedded Powerpoint, Excel, and such like. What the boys said above applies, especially for weddings. This is a specialised field, and you would ideally want someone who knows what they are doing to film and present the thing properly. If you help out and make a less than professional job, you'll be letting your friends down.
