    Okay now that I got your attention, I was wondering if you could get stock video, say it is autumn and you need video of a Rose in spring, what are you going to do? Stock video of course, but we all know that royalty free stock video costs $$$. But what if it did not cost you any money, instead you can share your own stock video and in turn people share theirs, and among it is a shot of a rose. Does that sound good to you?

    A while back I set up a system for free stock video, but I never really got it off the ground. But I was wondering since the system is more or less in place would you guys be interested in participating in such a program? I know that personally I might have access to a plane, and maybe even a helecopter for free. I could film fly overs of all sorts of things, but someone in South Dakota may not have such access but what they do have is easy access to film Mt Rushmore. We can share the stock video and bang each of us can get what we want and need. So if you are intersted in getting free stock video, both cost and royalty free, let me know. and if you have any questions please ask me. I would like to get this off the ground, but I need to know the demand. So lets hear it, just a raise of hands.



    I would be be very interested in the free video idea, especially since I am just starting out in the videography field. I have a question. Is it possible to do a wedding video with one camera?

    Thread hijack alert!!! Just kidding :D

    It is possible to do one, but not proffessionally. You need around 3 to my understanding. But I don;t do weddings.

    You can do a wedding with one camera, but then you would need a lot of "b-roll" footage.

    Two to three is a good number.

    (I took care of the thread hijacking by splitting these posts into their own topic)

    This has been pretty well hashed out in earlier posts, but the short answer is -

    Yes, you can shoot a wedding with one camera, though it will not be great. But only if it is your sister's wedding (or friend, etc.) and you are doing it gratis and you've explained thoroughly that this will not be a professional video.

    If you are charging money and trying to do this professionally, please do not take advantage of brides who are not knowledgable about video - do not pose as a pro wedding videographer if you do not have at least two pro cameras and preferably three or more, plus four or more micrphones, etc.
