Thanks for visiting the blog P. And I appreciate the feedback. I will endeavor to do your suggestions. It’s funny because much of the idea of risk is relative. What might be risky for one filmmaker could be old hat for another.

For instance, it may be risky for one filmmaker to use a certain type of music or to stick with one lens. Whereas another filmmaker may do those things all the time. In this case, my typical M.O. is to interview a client of the photographer. So it was very different for me to have the photographer talk about his fiance. In one way I see what you’re saying. It’s kind of like a love story video, which I’ve done a ton of (harkening back to my wedding days). But in another way, for me, it felt risky because I’ve never done a photog promo where the photog talked about HIS wedding.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Always inspired by the work you guys do. It’s an honor to have you review my work.

I would look at how you’re shooting your piece, using your light, setting up your interviews, and getting your narrative across and ask yourself where you can really induce some risk beyond talking to the fiance of a wedding photographer (…hasn’t that been done for years).
