About 'fifty anniversary ideas'|Anniversary Celebration Ideas?








You               have               finished               shooting               your               footage               of               the               wedding,               special               occasion               or               boat               show               and               are               ready               to               edit.

Posting               these               kind               of               videos               are               different               than               editing               from               a               script.

In               most               cases               the               editor               has               creative               control               over               how               the               story               unfolds,               but               more               on               that               later.

Sometimes               editors               don't               even               know               what's               on               the               footage.

I               have               personally               had               projects               working               with               previously               unseen               footage               I               did               not               shoot.

You               get               what               you               get,               and               that's               all               you               get.

If               this               is               the               case,               you               may               also               spend               extra               time               previewing               the               footage               in               deciding               what               to               use.

If               you               operated               the               camera               you               have               a               distinct               advantage.

You               already               know               what               you               have,               and               probably               have               gone               over               it               in               your               mind               the               last               day               or               two.

This               will               make               the               job               go               quicker               while               digitizing               because               you               already               know               where               the               good               takes               are.

Some               editors               will               digitize               everything               they               shot               at               this               stage.

Then               they               choose               clips               from               that               footage.

Or               they               will               batch               the               clips               with               a               compatible               video               camera.

Every               editor               has               their               own               style,               and               I               do               it               a               little               differently               for               a               couple               of               reasons.
               First,               I               don't               often               work               with               a               compatible               camera               or               deck               for               batch               digitizing               on               my               system.

Secondly,               raw               camera               footage               doesn't               always               have               usable               shots.

I               digitize               entire               interviews               but               there               are               always               multiple               takes,               unusually               long               zooms               or               pans,               flubs               and               shots               that               didn't               work.

I               spend               time               previewing               footage,               so               I               already               have               an               idea               of               which               clips               will               or               will               not               be               used,               and               smaller               clips               are               easier               to               handle               anyway.

Why               waste               space               digitizing               crappy               shots?

But               how               you               digitize               clips               onto               your               computer               is               really               up               to               you.
               If               you're               going               to               be               doing               this               type               of               work,               do               yourself               a               favor               and               buy               some               production               music.

There               is               a               ton               of               affordable               production               music               out               there.

In               the               old               days               you               had               to               purchase               specific               rights               per               song,               project,               distribution,               etc.

and               for               big               bucks.

These               days               you               can               buy               production               music               with               full               lifetime               rights               for               pennies.

I               bought               an               entire               music               library               on               eBay               for               about               sixty               bucks,               and               I've               seen               CDs               with               8-10               variously               timed               songs               online               for               less               than               ten.

Granted.

A               lot               of               it               is               electronic               music               made               on               a               keyboard,               but               most               production               music               is               well               produced,               sufficient               for               the               task               at               hand               (mainly               providing               background               music),               and               it               sure               beats               the               heck               out               of               getting               sued               or               having               a               project               legally               pulled               from               any               type               of               broadcast.

Anyway.
               Previously               I               said               that               the               editor               often               has               creative               control               over               how               the               story               unfolds               on               projects               of               this               nature.

Yes,               but               this               doesn't               mean               the               editor               has               a               license               to               go               artistically               hog               wild               either.

After               all,               you're               telling               a               story,               not               trying               to               visually               stimulate               your               client.

If               you               have               to               explain               it               to               them               then               you               went               overboard               artistically.

So               here               are               a               few               words               of               advice               on               several               fronts.

Give               them               what               they               want.

More               importantly,               give               them               what               they               expect.

It               will               save               you               many               hours               re-editing               to               satisfy               your               client.

This               is               especially               important               if               you               quoted               them               a               flat               rate.
               As               a               general               rule,               nobody               wants               to               spend               money               paying               you               hours               to               add               in               a               bunch               of               fancy               effects.

I               can               understand               using               occasional               special               transitions               or               effect               templates.

I'm               talking               about               custom               effects               and               graphics.

In               all               likelihood               you'll               be               doing               most               of               these               jobs               for               a               flat               fee.

Custom               graphics               and               effects               will               only               lower               your               hourly               rate               average.

I'm               not               saying               don't               use               effects,               because               clients               want               them               too.

Just               give               your               client               what               they               expect               within               reason,               using               picture-in-picture               or               other               pre-made               templates,               while               keeping               special               transitions               down               to               a               minimum.

It               looks               more               professional               if               you               only               use               one               special               transition               anyway,               and               not               every               one               you               got.
               If               you               have               a               client               who's               hinting               they               want               custom               graphics               (flying               logos,               titles               etc.),               or               other               custom               effect               (image/video               layering,               animation,               etc.),               be               careful               how               you               calculate               the               value               of               your               time.

If               you               can               provide               some               of               these               services,               you               already               have               a               general               idea               of               how               long               it               will               take               to               accomplish               your               client's               requests.

In               most               cases               the               client               won't               know               or               won't               really               care.

Gently               make               it               understood               before               you               take               any               job               that               custom               effects               will               add               more               hours               to               the               project,               resulting               in               higher               costs.

All               they'll               want               to               know               is               how               much               more.
               Every               local               media               market               is               different.

When               making               bids,               try               to               be               realistic,               remember               the               economy,               and               above               all               don't               bid               yourself               out               of               the               job.

You               may               feel               that               your               vast               amount               of               creative               skill               and               experience               justifies               a               hundred-fifty+               an               hour               for               editing.

Come               on.

You               know               the               tricks.

You               can               easily               get               around               a               graphic               program.

You               know               your               software               like               the               back               of               your               hand.

How               hard               is               it?

Then               again,               a               client's               aspirations               may               require               several               hours               or               more               to               accomplish.

Time               is               worth               money.
               So               how               much               is               your               editing               time               worth?

For               that               matter,               how               much               is               your               camera               operation               time               worth?

It's               a               delicate               balance.

Too               much,               and               you               may               not               get               the               job.

Not               enough,               and               you'll               be               spending               hours               of               your               time               for               minimum               wage.

I'm               not               going               to               tell               you               a               set               price               because               that               changes               and               varies               too               much.
               What               I               will               tell               you               is               to               first               make               sure               to               ask               what               they're               looking               for,               and               know               everything               they               want               ahead               of               time.

Ask               a               lot               of               questions.

How               do               they               envision               the               final               product?

How               long               do               they               want               it               to               be?

What               key               moments               are               critical               to               them?

What               information               is               important?

Are               there               photos               or               previously               shot               footage               they               want               you               to               use?

How               many?

Then               I'll               usually               ask               what               their               budget               is,               and               negotiate               from               there               if               they               give               me               an               answer.

If               they               don't,               I               always               do               my               research               ahead               of               time               in               anticipation               of               this.
               How               much               should               you               charge?

You'll               know               by               doing               some               market               research.

Every               city               is               different               and               research               is               the               most               important               thing               to               do               if               you               want               to               get               a               fair               price.

So               call               around.

Ask               your               competitors.

Pick               out               a               few               from               the               phone               book.

Check               out               the               want               ads               and               find               a               few               who               do               it               on               the               side.

This               way               you'll               get               a               better               idea               of               the               price               range.

You               may               not               be               able               to               charge               $2,000               using               a               mini-DV               camera,               so               find               out               what               somebody               with               a               camera               like               yours               charges.

Pretend               to               be               a               customer               and               ask               about               prices               for               packages               and               any               options.

What               kind               of               equipment               are               they               using?

Are               there               different               prices               for               different               cameras?

What               are               you               getting               for               their               prices?

What               do               they               charge               for               editing?

What               does               that               encompass?
               If               you               know               these               things               ahead               of               time,               negotiating               your               bid               will               go               smoother               and               more               in               your               favor.

Just               remember               that               unless               your               client               has               money               to               burn,               or               even               if               it's               a               high-end               production,               work               with               them.

Use               your               negotiation               skills               and               be               open               to               compromising.

Try               to               keep               their               ideas               down               to               earth               and               within               reason.

Charge               accordingly               and               don't               let               your               own               artistic               aspirations               get               the               best               of               you               later               on.
               We're               not               editing               movies               or               art               films               here.

In               most               cases               the               immediate               family               and               a               few               friends               will               ever               see               it.

Even               if               it's               a               promotional               video               for               local               or               regional               television               broadcast,               it               doesn't               mean               you               should               charge               outrageous               amounts               for               your               time.

Keep               in               mind               that               there               are               others               out               there               bidding               on               the               same               job.

If               you               do               your               research               you               can               give               your               potential               client               a               fair               market               price               you               can               live               with,               while               hopefully               bidding               below               any               quote               they'll               get               from               another               competitor               in               your               price               range.
               Getting               back               to               posting.

One               way               to               make               life               more               organized               and               easier               is               to               create               custom               editing               project               templates               if               possible.

For               weddings,               graduations,               anniversaries               or               other               private               occasion               it's               relatively               simple.

Generic               openings,               closings,               PIPs,               graphics,               titles,               title               pages,               effects,               even               music               already               set               up               as               a               template               and               ready               to               edit.

With               other               projects               you'll               probably               have               to               edit               on               the               spot.

During               negotiations,               remember               to               (gently)               insist               on               getting               things               like               images               video               clips               audio               clips,               correct               spellings               and               other               needed               resources               from               your               client               way               in               advance               before               editing.

Knowing               what               graphics,               effects               and               resources               they               want               you               to               use               will               also               help               you               calculate               what               to               charge               upfront.

You               don't               want               any               surprises               later               on.
               Above               all               remember               where               you               are               doing               business.

In               the               local               industrial               television/video               market,               the               majority               of               your               clients               will               not               be               from               our               industry.

They               don't               know               how               much               the               pros               make,               much               less               how               much               others               in               your               particular               market               make.

They               only               know               what               they               see               on               TV               or               in               movie               theaters.

They               expect               well-lit               in-focus               stable               shots               for               their               money.

They               want               to               see               the               standard               shots               and               continuity               they're               used               to.
               Even               a               wedding               video               is               expected               to               have               the               ceremony,               school               photos               of               the               bride               and               groom,               the               couple               shot,               the               dance,               the               garter,               etc.

in               the               order               they               happened.

If               it's               a               promotional               for               next               year's               car               show,               the               client               will               expect               to               see               a               wide               variety               of               camera               shots,               the               sights               and               sounds               of               the               event,               people               having               fun,               and               tightly               edited               interviews               with               b-roll               covering               the               jump               shots.

If               you               try               to               re-invent               the               wheel               you'll               only               have               unsatisfied               customers               and               spend               valuable               time               re-editing               at               their               request.
               I               hope               this               has               been               of               some               use               for               those               who               are               reading.

Whether               it               is               a               wedding,               retirement,               anniversary               or               crafts               fair,               you               may               encounter               many               of               these               situations               when               video               recording               and               editing               events               such               as               these.

If               you're               doing               it               part-time               or               for               a               living,               the               client               comes               first.

What               they               want               is               essential               to               you               earning               money               for               your               time               and               experience.

Giving               them               what               they               want               while               at               the               same               time               assuring               a               fair               market               price               is               just               another               skill               to               develop,               a               highly               recommended               skill               that               will               serve               you               well               as               you               move               ahead               in               the               entertainment               industry.

Good               luck               on               your               next               production,               and               have               fun!
