Hello to all my friends & collegues:

I haven't blogged in a while.  I've been pretty busy editing and also working at KOAM-TV as we are constructing a new set as it should finish by next week.  Last week the set came in and we started putting it all together.  Take a look thus far:


Before



After (So Far)



There is still quite a bit to do.  This week we installed lighting on the set.   We still have some more lighting to put together then our graphics and backdrops for the set should be in by Friday.  So I've been putting in about 10 hours or so a day besides doing my regular duties then running home and attempting to edit my wedding videos.

Next year I'm getting excited about the upcoming wedding season in 2011.  We have our new wedding collections available as well as enhancements to make that wedding video one to treasure for many years to come.  We are also going to dip into Photo Booth service.  We have some of the materials purchased (mostly the booth itself) now we have to get the rest of it (laptop, printer, camera, software, etc), then we'll be able to offer that service.

The plan is to provide not only videography, but also a Photo/Video Booth, and also photography as well.  I want to bring a photographer on board to join us and also hire a couple of videographers to help us out.  Tracie will be in charge of the Photo/Video Booth at the receptions while the others and myself are shooting the wedding itself.  Exciting times.  Stay tuned for more as we get things together for next year!

Also please send prayers to my wife Tracie's brother William as his health is continuing to detieriate.  As some of you know he suffers from scleroderma.  The prognosis isn't good.  He's in good spirits and we're doing our best to be there for him.

Thanks for sticking with us and we hope everyone is having a great week!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday!

Had a great meeting last night through Metropolitan Bride based out of Springfield.  They've come up with some great ideas for the bridal show next month in Joplin as well as other networking meetings beyond just the show. 

If you or someone you know who is getting married and is still searching for ideas.  Be sure you register for the Fall Bridal Show by going here:  http://www.metbride.com/register.html

We did see a slow down this year in wedding bookings this year.  So we're hoping with the next one things will pick up again.  Unfortunately in our business, wedding video isn't perceived as on the high priority list.  I want to change that perception.

This year we will be part of the Bridal Bouquet Giveaway.  I'll let you know what we're giving away on Friday.

I'm still looking for office space.  Our 10x10 spare room is no longer big enough.  I'm thinking of maybe finding a photographer that would like to split the cost of a office building and have 2 studios there.  One for video and one for photography.

We are also would like to start producing commercials.  We can't do anything too fancy but we can do the basics to get something ready for air.

My goals for the next month is to start getting everything in place for a Photo Booth.  I'll know more exactly what I plan to do with the business when I return from WEVA Expo in Orlando next week.  I'll make sure and post some pictures of my adventure!

Everyone have a great Wednesday!

I hope everyone is having a great day.  A little gloomy with rain out there with temps right less than 80 degrees but we can’t argue especially since it’s usually nearly 100 degrees at this time of year.

This evening I will be attending a Bridal Show meeting for Metropolitan Bride based out of the Springfield, Missouri area.  There is a bridal show being held September 12, 2010 at the Holiday Inn just off of I-44.

Next week I’ll be attending theNext week I’ll be attending the 20th Annual Wedding & Event Videographer’s International (WEVA) Expo in Orlando Florida .  It’s the time of the year where Videographers and Filmmakers from all around the world will come together for a week of education, networking, be inspired.  In the last 2 years alone, we’re continuing to evolve our business and this year will be no different. 

We are working hard to begin offering other services soon.  We have explored the option of Photography but nothing is concrete yet.

We are going to invest into the Photo Booth Service.  We’re looking for equipment and designs and hope to have that going and in place by January.

We are also working on some new branding for our business and hope to roll those out very soon.

Remember we are now booking for the 2011 wedding season.  Check out our website for samples, availability and much more.

Have a great Tuesday!
