DSLR Wedding Video is Still New to Many Clients
June 18, 2011
This morning, we had a prospective client meeting that went extremely well. About 10 minutes into the meeting, I was asked what kind of cameras we used. The boys were in, getting ready for the day, so I told Jimmy over the intercom to bring a camera up from the studio. When I showed her one of the DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras we have been shooting with exclusively since 2008, she was pleasantly surprised. She said, “That really is small!” She was very happy. I could see on her face that all fears of the big cameras and bright lights melted away.
It really made me realize that after ten years in this business and two and a half years shooting with DSLRs, we should not take for granted what we do and why we do it. More and more videographers are now turning to the DSLR cameras. Some are even sticking the words “Wedding Films” in their company names to reflect their new-found appreciation for this wonderful tool and all of the possibilities it opens up to wedding and event filmmakers.
What this means for the consumer is that in the right hands, beautiful films can be made now without obnoxious lighting and big obtrusive cameras. To us, it’s old news, but I must never forget that there are still companies doing things the old way and it would be a huge disservice to not educate each and every new client.
