Who This Book Is For
Unlike most filmmakers, wedding videographers wear numerous—even dozens of—hats
throughout the process of making a single video: business founder, marketer, salesperson,
administrator, production coordinator, shooter, grip, sound technician, post-production editor,
graphics designer, color corrector, audio engineer, and DVD author. Indeed, there are very few
parts of the production process that won’t dirty a wedding videographer’s hands. Clients
expect a well-produced and skillfully edited piece, and they expect you to give it to them!
