Greetings, BAPVA members guests, and celebrities!
This month be sure to fasten your seatbelts and put on your thinking caps. We've got two meeting programs that will be jam packed with information – both technical and business.
In the current economic environment, using personal networking to secure wedding gigs will likely become more important than usual. To address this, we have an interactive panel discussion with a photographer, wedding planner, and venue marketing manager. We will be discussing the most effective practices for videographers to network amongst our peer service providers. "Interactive" is the key word here. Most of this panel discussion will be audience Q & A, so you will get to ask questions, make your own observations, etc. This should be a very lively segment.
In our second program, we'll address the subject of audio acquisition. We all pay close attention to our video images, but do we know how to get the same level of quality in our audio? Sennheiser will be here to talk about necessary audio for video equipment, fundamentals of audio acquisition, and the latest FCC spectrum changes affecting wireless mics.
As always, we will also have our Best Practices Sharing segment and time to network and socialize within our group. So please join us for an enjoyable and informative evening.
First Program: Best Practices for Wedding Gig Networking
This will be an interactive panel and audience discussion of effective networking practices for wedding videographers. Our panel will consist of Gene Higa (an award winning wedding photographer), Nicole Lisanne (Formerly D'Ambra, a highly recognized wedding planner), and Elisheva Basseri (an event planner at the Westin Palo Alto). This segment is intended to be an open forum for sharing of ideas and approaches to make us all better at networking for wedding gigs.
Specific subjects to be covered:
- How to establish a network
- Who should videographers network with
- Key elements/pre-requisites for establishing a relationship; What do you look for in a networking partner
- How do service providers prefer to be approached, effective first conversations
- Do venue lists matter?
- Maintaining a network
- After a job is booked how can we help each other deliver on it
- Relationship maintenance activities
Second Program: Audio Acquisition for Videographers; with Sennheiser
This program is intended to insure that our audio is as good as our video images. Sennheiser representative Marke Burgstahler, will give us a primer on what equipment to carry, how to properly use it (do you know how to set the gain structure of a wireless mic system to avoid distortion?), and give us the most up to date information on the FCC Frequency Spectrum Re-allocation that will affect your current wireless mics and provide guidance on your next purchase.
Specific subjects to be covered:
- Necessary audio equipment for the event and corporate videographer (ie. different types of mics/connectors/isolators/adapters/headphones/cables/mixers, etc)
- Fundamentals of audio acquisition
- Gain structure setup
- Proper use of on-cam wireless systems
- Impedance and level matching
- General tips for quality sound acquisition
- FCC spectrum changes and its effect on the use of wireless mics
Cost: Free to members. Non members $25.
