BTW, i got this idea to build my own lights from NAB conference. Victor Milt had a CFL homemade lightbox that he promoted…says instructions are on his DVD “Light it Right” but i haven’t bought it.
WHen i saw his softbox it had maybe 5 small CFLs in it.

how does this translate to CFL? if i use several CFL’s that are equivalent to 1,000 watts, does it still draw the same amount of power?

I did not create the original ads. They were created by another company and/or by themselves on a Mac.
I figure they don’t have the original projects or have time to fix them. I am currently creating a website for them with a News/Media section and that’s why they asked me to fix the phone number.

now that you’ve laid it out more clearly I understand why you are so upset about the flip camera. (not knowing your day rate) its easily taking 300-500 out of your pocket a day from shoots “you” used to get hired for.
I’m not a videographer so I don’t know how it is out there for you all. But as a designer and editor I’ve learned that Video doesn’t feed my plate every day. So, I took it upon myself to learn website design and print design. Now I offer 3 services: Web, Print, and Video. Allowing me to create full campaigns or a la cart items for clients.
Is there anything like that as a just a videographer that will allow you to have more sources of revenue and not just these corporate clients using flip cameras?
Maybe you can expand your shooting by offering editing too?
I just don’t know too many videographer only’s out there. But that may just be me and my network.

I agree with Mads Nybo.
Ned, you’re letting this Flip Video Camera defeat you.
I think its time to change your business model. Keep your head high.
The topic of your thread “Looking for a high enough bridge to jump off of…” is pretty disturbing.

hey man,
I wouldn’t get discouraged. If you have the time and energy, approach these businesses and let them know you can do better. And show them how. Its a good way to learn the ropes in this business.
Just don’t expect it to be a full-time money maker. As others said, they want cheapies made!
But, that doesn’t mean all want cheap.
Especially since you’re starting out, try and find a gig with a higher end studio, and do cheap ads on the weekends, or after work. build your name up.
When i got into website design, noone wanted to talk to me without portfolio samples. So, i found a couple of friends working at companies with bad websites, and told them I would create a new one for cheap! They loved that! So now i have several high-end websites (yes they took longer, sometimes abused my skills, and I could have charged 5 times as much for them) but they’ve paid off.
Now I get high-end web work because I put the same effort into those cheap freebies in the beginning.
So go for it!

Ned,
I’ve seen other posts of yours on the Cow talking about being “defeated” by the Flip Video Camera.
If this small gadget is costing you clients, then maybe you need to readdress your business model. It seems in your market, the way you were acquiring clients, and making a profit is not working as well anymore. That means its time to change.
Who were your main source of clients? If it was ENG kind of stuff, we have to face the facts, that market has changed. Its all about quick, cheap, video for these folks. Get something usable that can spread the message.
Heck, I’ve even seen on CNN them using SKYPE for interviews! How are you going to compete with FREE?? You’re not, the news networks and local channels have changed their game.
Might be time to move on to bigger fish, man.
