Kudos to the girl with the groin shot and the bald dude who clean swipes him!
Last week I went to see the videographer for our wedding and met him at his house. Expecting just to note down a few ideas in his front room, we were escorted into his “studio”, an impressively set out room at the back of his house. Upon taking a seat in his very lovely leather chair, he proceeded to show myself and Katie’s family what his previous wedding bookings he had recorded.
As I sat there watching his video in Final Cut Pro, I pondered about the logistics of setting up my own Video company, one where I would be available for Weddings and private events but go at it with a bit of a different slant.
When I say different, I would try and make the marriage ceremonies live on the internet for family who could not attend around the world, have a Youtube-esqe service that would allow the wedding goer’s to embed snippets of the day on their websites or even email. I could offer a service to other wedding videographers maybe?! Who knows! (OK, I’m running away with it now).
They would get DVD’s with personalised covers and disc printing, you name it.
It’s a serious thought, I will look into investing in some more equipment (a legit copy of Final Cut Pro comes in at near on £4000!) and see what happens. I run my own media company anyways, seems like a good area of business to be in.
Watch this space.
Youtube…..it’s everywhere and nowhere.
Vimeo however is what I am talking about. It has a unique design, it has great typography and in my opinion, the player is a lot nicer to look at. I am soon to be an owner of a camcorder and I am intent on using it. I shall be using this great site to upload my video’s, embed on this very site and enjoy.
Put simply:
Vimeo has been around since the last days of 2004.
We currently have over 7 billion users who have uploaded over 950 trillion videos.
I’m not going to make this another call to action (like the Mixx post) but I have felt the need to overhaul the services I have been using so that instead of using one that everyone else uses, I am using one that suits my needs and does it flawlessly. Mixx and Vimeo are examples of this!
