RLV Productions, LLC Wedding Video Demo Sept 2009

Our latest Wedding Video Demo that will showcase at the Metropolitan Bride Show tomorrow.

My experience at WEVA Expo 2009

Finally I'm sitting down typing a blog. I used to do these on my personal networking pages but not for the business very often. I'm currently burning some copies of my new demo reel for a bridal show with Metropolitan Bride that will be held in Joplin at the Holiday Inn near I-44 & Range Line. But this is giving me a chance to reflect on my experience in Florida.

First, it was my first trip to Florida, that alone was new. I decided to drive instead of flying. I have family just outside of Tuscaloosa, Alabama so I was able to crash there which worked out well because it was halfway between where I live and Orlando give or take a couple hundred miles.

The first day of WEVA Expo was the "Power Sessions". These were extra but well worth the investment. I sat in a "Ceremony Boot Camp" class. No she really didn't crack the whip on us but she really showed us how to shoot it this way and why. I also attended another session on shooting other events besides Weddings.

The second day was Day One of the Seminars, I took several marketing sessions. There was also a session called "Working with your Spouse". I don't feel so bad now because most of these people in this business work with their spouse and we do a lot of what they do.

The next day I took some creative & technical sessions. There is a High Definition Camera I really want to get. We're still shooting in standard definition but have been looking very hard into getting a new camera. The Panasonic cameras really have my attention right now.

The final day was a mixture of marketing and creative sessions.

All in all there is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much I didn't know about this business. But I am ready to tackle this education I received and start implementing these into my business. WEVA Expo was a great experience. I'm already looking forward to next year's expo.
