You definetely got a point about the price part but I dont intend charging more in the future, as long I can make a livin out of it and can make the necesarry investments thats ok for me and so far thats going fine. A multicam setup is allways better ofcourse, something which I do occasionally. But I leave it up to the couple to decide and often the price is more important to them then the extra possibilities. I have seen work from my competitors, some charging double of what I charge and I have no problem comparing my work to theirs, eventhough they have 2 to 3 cameras operating. During the ceremony I gather enough material, short shots from the relatives and friends and edit it in such a way that it looks like a multicam setup. When you are alone you get very inventive

This doesnt mean I consider myself as good, I constantly try to improve what I do and learn a lot from demo's I find on the net, especially American videographers weddingdemo's because they often are very good. I was planning to buy some kind of steadycam device as s next investment for during the fotoshoot as these gliding shots look very professional.

The "talking" guestbook box is actually quite simple in set-up, its a simple harddisrecorder connected through firewire to a small camera and it records more then 10hours without a problem on the highest mpeg quality. Only the editingpart takes a while, you can do the biggest cutting and deleting inside the harddiskrecorder and then capture from recorder through a camera to the pc. The quality is suprisingly good. Not hdv quality ofcourse but less quality is often forgiven for these types of recordings. You can't imagine what people say in front of an unmanned camera
