Warning: Read This Only if You Want to Take Your Event Video Business to the Next Level
Video is big. Same Day Edits are bigger. But web video is (going to be) HUGE!
So why aren’t more videographers utilizing the web video for their events?
Maybe I’m just ignorant, but I haven’t read about anyone broadcasting weddings in one of the many video editing magazines being published.
I’ve talked about distribution, but giving your brides the option to broadcast their wedding to friends, family, and relatives who are unable to attend will bring your event video business to a new level. You will not only be the brides hero, but will have fans around the country (or world) as they watch the service. Furthermore, the cost of entry is extremely low and you can start with your next wedding.
Here is what I envision:
- Canon HV20 or HV30
- Tripod
- Good audio feed
- UStream.tv
- High speed internet connection
- Son, daughter, or next door neighbor kid to man the camera
Of course, you could go bigger with a multi camera setup and a TriCaster, but your price will sky rocket and so will the amount of stress involved.
Since your focus is not on creating more stress for yourself, but offering a service that will bring more value to your bride, you’ll put yourself above the competition.
