I will shoot your wedding video for $300 total

[Deleted User]

I'm a freelance videographer (recent Columbia College Chicago grad in film/video) and am looking to shoot weddings all around the Chicagoland area. Here's a link to a wedding I just shot: https://vimeo.com/45324273

I'm willing to do a full day shoot, as well as edit and produce your video on DVD or digital format. I do highlight videos, which are usually around 10 minutes or so--using the best looking shots presented in a cinematic way with music. I also will include a longer (mostly un-edited) version additionally for brides that want to see all the speeches captured, full ceremony, etc. I beleive most people do not want to sit and watch an hour long video whenever they want to look back at their wedding; when it's much quicker and more appealing to have a short highlight video showcasing the best moments. The reason I'm doing this fairly cheap is because I'm looking to build my portfolio faster.  

I'm looking for weddings this summer and fall! Please let me know asap if interested and we can dicuss setting this up. You can e-mail me at "flamingzombie89@aol.com" or contact me by phone at 630-234-2607. 

In case you were wondering, I shoot on a Canon 5D mark ii in full 1080p High Definition.

Thankyou and I look forward to hearing from you!

</div><div>Just trying to get my career started. This isn't spam, I'm just an honest working man trying to get my name out there and this happens to be one method that freelance videographers use. I posted this as a discussion because I'm actually checking my e-mail for responses so that I can partake in answering questions. Weddings are expensive. Wedding videographers can be expensive. Brides are looking for the best deal on everything; so it's only natural they'd be interested in what I'm offering if they're looking for a videographer. If you're not intersted in a videographer, simply don't respond to my post, it's that simple. If you are interseted in finding a cheap videographer then by all means ask me any questions you have and I will be more than happy to answer. </div><div>

<div>I finished my first few gigs recently as I just am starting this business. Here's a link to a wedding I shot recently. I just made a short preview video; showcasing what the footage I shoot would look like (with the camera I use). Here you go: <a href="https://vimeo.com/45324273" rel="nofollow">https://vimeo.com/45324273</a></div><div>
</div><div>Thanks for taking interest :) I'm doing this $300 offer probably for the rest of 2012, then upping my rates once I have a more 'complete' portfolio in my hands.</div><div>

Just a word of advise...remember..Shoot the Bride video, that many brides here got sucked into hiring offering cheap prices and they either didn't show up for the wedding, or some never got their dvd's. Any one can put a nice demo together, but if you go to hire this person, make sure you watch the entire wedding from strat to finish.

<div>That's why I have a contract that is signed by both parties to ensure delivery of the movie in digital format and on DVD, shooting for set amount of hours, etc. There's no trickery :) Here's the site I'm using now which links to my work and shows my full name: Facebook.com/digitalspectrumvideo. The reason for the discount wedding is simply to attract people so I can get a full portfolio done quicker; after which I will raise my price by $200! </div>
