Show notes

Just apply a LUT and the footage will look perfect! That is what a lot of filmmakers think when it comes to getting great colors in your films. But the truth of the matter is that you REALLY need to know what you are doing, in order to get the right colors in your films. When you think of great color, if you are a wedding videographer, one of the names that always comes to mind is White in Revery. Calen is a bit of a coloring genius, and we really wanted to have him on to talk about getting the right color in camera, so that you can apply a LUT and get great colors. So we sit down with Calen Rhome, and Levi Tijerina, from White in Revery, to discuss this. Also, they make a HUGE announcement in the podcast talking about a BRAND NEW endeavor that is going to help out so many wedding film makers. We break down some color science, things you should be looking for on a wedding day, tips and tricks to get great color every time, and so much more. We can not wait to share this episode of the How To Film Weddings Podcast!

Show notes

Building Packages That Sell Do you feel like you are constantly leaving money on the table, or missing out on bookings? In today's episode, Nick and John break down the different types of package options you can offer. Do you want to offer packages? A la carte? A hybrid of the two? What is the best of you in your business? Which ones of these options fits better for your clientele? We have been having a lot of mentor sessions lately, and are seeing so many things that could be better in the packages of the business owners we are talking with. The psychology behind what you are charging, how you lay out your packages, and what you offer in them really makes a big difference on whether or not you will be booking that couple. In this episode, we will walk you through the 3 types of package options you can offer, and why each of them is good, and potentially bad for your business.

064: Attracting the Right Clients with Becca Neblock || How To Film Weddings Podcast Nov 04, 2019

Show notes

Here's the thing, weddings are personal. The people getting married, they are people. No two couples are the same. More and more, couples are choosing their wedding videographer based on personality, branding, and being able to relate to them. So how do we become more unique? How do we attract the right people for our brand? You have to know who you are. Let's say that again, you have to know who you are. What do you stand for? Why do you shoot weddings? What makes you keep shooting weddings? How can you infuse that into your branding? Into your personality? When John met Becca Neblock at 2019's Venture Workshop, he could tell she didn't care what anyone else thought. He could tell she knew who she was, and what she stood for. Fast forward a half a year later, and we are having her on the podcast to talk just about that. How she knows who she is, and stands for what matters most to her. Nick met Becca at the first Venture, has done styled shoots with her, and has been impressed. This podcast is full of info about your brand, but we also dive into feminism. We talk to Becca about what that means to her, and how people can be more aware of things they do at weddings to degrade women. We love bringing light to this topic, and are very excited for you to hear the conversation. Becca holds nothing back on her website, and her IG account be sure to check her out.

062: Raise Your Prices with John & Nick II How To Film Weddings Podcast Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

How much should you charge? When should you raise your prices? Most of us have just plucked a number out of thin air, and say "that is what I am going to charge! That is how much I am worth!" But to be honest, there really is no rhyme or reason behind why you are charging that much. So how do you know how much to charge? Nick and John break down exactly what they've done in the past decade to know their worth, price themselves competitively, as well as continually RAISE THEIR PRICES. It isn't science, but there definitely is a formula when it comes to knowing what to charge, and when you are ready to raise those prices. So many people post about this in our Facebook Group, so we thought we'd spend an hour tackling the subject. This episode will help you to know exactly where you are in your market. Grab those ear buds, and pull up a seat for this week's episode of the How To Film Weddings Podcast!

060: Photographers and videographers can get along with Caroline Tran II How To Film Weddings Podcast Oct 07, 2019

Show notes

Wedding Photographers vs Wedding Videographers. We constantly see in different groups, one of these groups griping about the others. Can't we all just get along? Nick and John have a treat for the How To Film Weddings listeners today. We have LA based wedding and portrait photographer Caroline Tran (yes, she's #famous) on the show.

We tackle the questions all around videographers working well with photographers. What is the best way to get a referral from a photographer? What is the best way to drive a photographer insane on the wedding day?

We break down so many things regarding working together as a team, and think this episode will really help you see it from another perspective. Our goal is to help elevate the industry, and if we can get video and photo crews working together as teams on the wedding day, we can all have better work.

We also talk about some of Caroline's educational resources that can help you in your posing, and in your business. Links are below! Put on the headphones, pull up a chair, and get ready for an amazing episode of the How To Film Weddings Podcast
