LOL, so true about everyone wants to show off their new gear.
C300 and FS100 all around now and the MK3!

And Kris is right about networking with other people in your industry. Especially if you’re a new comer. Other videographers might recommend you if they can’t take the job, but other vendors would recommend you if you’re talented and different.

Newsletters are probably best for Corporate Videographers.

In reply to Al Woodard. Actually, Kris is the one up all in your face Al. :) But yes, great "insights". :)

Haha Steve! Michael is my bus partner in KRE8 so that may be where you got that from.

Regarding networking with other videographers, I didn’t say it was a waste of time because it definitely isn’t. However, spending time networking with actual customers and prospects will result in better financial return in the long run.

If you primarily make yor living as a freelancer, then of course other videogs are your “customers.”

Great points though Steve! Thanks for contributing.

Great info Michael!! All good basic principles that we all forget or slack off on. Disagree with one small point and that is don’t waste time networking with other videographers. We get to know as many as we can in our area and that results in many jobs that they refer when they are double booked. You spread out your double booking back to them and you have a very strong network. About 15% of all our booking are from other event filmmakers.
