Professional?

...or paid amateurs? Been looking at some of the travesties that are online samples of wedding videographers.

1) complete lack of undestanding of editing to music
2) no attempt at de-interlacing
3) washed out colours
4) cheesy effects/transitions

Why would I do this you may ask? Well, I like filming and I really like editing... so doing a few weddings would be a good way of having a bit of fun (and getting paid). Plus, I really think I could do a better job...

...but then I would say that.

Suggestions:

- Showreel.
- Free example DVD of your work
- Insert something along the following on your website: "Filming the most important day of your life is much, much more than simply picking up a camcorder and recording whatever happens"

All of em. Put up this page: http://www.marcpeters.co.uk/wedding-video-services.htm and have created a sample DVD with a funky intro and menu with a few montages to select.
