Videoing sporting events

[Mark Greenlees]

Thank you Mick, apology accepted, along with my respect for you in the effort you made to explain yourself. In an attempt to explain myself :

I am in fact, not an event videographer, although I’ve shot and do shoot weddings and such ( BTW, I’ve met many talented individuals in that field). Neither am I corporate or industrial videographer- although I have done both. I shot underwater videos for many years, but don’t label myself an underwater videographer. I’ve “filmed” for Oprah, A&E, Discovery Health and The Food Network, written and produced a couple of short documentaries and worked with some very well known Hollywood actors – yet, the only “label” I give myself is that of videographer. Times change, circumstances change and like a lot of us in this business, I find I need to adapt and hopefully learn different avenues of the business in order to pay the mortgage. The lacrosse video “thing” was just suggested to me early this week and today I filmed my very first two games. I can now see why a professional such as yourself is able to charge a premium for your services. It certainly is a skill that no doubt takes a while to perfect. It is totally new to me and any advice is so welcome.

Thanks again for your post Mick, I really appreciated it. I hope you can soon sort out the problems you been having with your video project.

Cheers!
Mark
