A Promo For…. Me!

Sunday, February 15, 2009 Posted in Eddie as Editor, Eddie as Producer

A couple of years ago I was earning extra income by doing wedding photography. This promo was filmed by my homie Scott and edited by myself.


- Can’t see the video? Try watching the low quality version on YouTube.

A promo video is such an important part of a photographer’s website these days. There are approximately one bazillion wedding photographers out there, so anything that helps you stand out in the crowd is more than welcome.

Since this video was released at the beginning of 2008, many photographers have inquired about promo videos. Now that still cameras are shooting high quality video, some photographers are having their assistants film them as they work. Once they have the footage, all they need is an editor. We can accommodate either need, complete video production or edit only. If you are interested in a promo video for your photography business, just let me know!

March 6, 2009 - 9:21 pm Geoff - Very cool video. FYI, YouTube does HD quality now (for free), so if you re-upload a nice high def version it will look much better than the one you currently have up there.

March 6, 2009 - 11:16 pm Gary - Very cool idea and video - makes you seem so genuine and "real" - definitely a positive thing for potential customers.

March 7, 2009 - 12:17 am eddiersm - Thanks! I posted the video on YouTube before they had HD. I'll definately look into it.

March 7, 2009 - 9:10 am Dirk - I love it man. What a great idea. I love your thoughts on wedding photography. I'm 19 and starting wedding photography this season, if you have any advice from a experienced pro like yourself, I would LOVE it.

Video is great, love the kid tossing, I hope you still tear it up on a bike every now and then, you were an idol of mine in the 80's. If you have some time to check out my website there is a pic of Craig Grasso in there, he's still rippin up here in cold Vermont. Take care.
