Scheduling an Appointment With a Wedding Videographer

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Michael Burton and we're here talking about choosing a wedding videographer for your wedding day. Now that you've chosen your videographer and you're, you're pretty sure that's the one you?re going to go with; the next step is to book an appointment or schedule an appointment with that vidoegrapher, to meet with him personally. Not only to find out more information about their company or about them as a videographer, but to also find out or to see; to view samples, to see their work. One very important thing that I always tell brides when I meet them at a Bridal Fair, or I meet with them in person; is that not only about when their viewing my stuff or their viewing other videographers work is that they should ask to see a finished final video of somebody's. Not just to view a demo that you picked up at a Bridal Fair, or not just to view a demo that somebody's just given you. But to actually view a finished product. Because a lot of videographers, what they'll do are they'll take all of their best stuff that they ever shot; or maybe they got lucky and they shot a bunch of cool, cool stuff. And they'll put it all in one demo, and so you're sitting there watching the demo; all of their favorite stuff but that's not what happens on an everyday video. So you're going to want to make sure that you see an actual finished product of a bride, and maybe see a couple of them to see kind of how these video's are turning out. So you make sure that's actually what you're going to get, because again a lot of times they put all their best stuff on one demo; and they put all their best stuff on the website. Or when, or even when you come to the appointment, they'll actually gather all their best stuff to show you but then it's not actually what you're going to get. I would ask to see a finished product of the D.V.D even from beginning to end, menus; everything that you can think of. The thing about our videos is that they are the finished products. The ones that you see on the website are the ones you see on the demos, those are the actual ones that the clients actually received. And those are usually the same day edits the ones that we edited about three; four hours anyway"
