and...
Multi year Weva CEA winner Keith Anderson reveals his trade secrets of creating, achieving and maintaining a steady six figure income.
Join Keith as he breaks down the creation of his Weva Gold award winning demo directly from the timeline.
Learn valuable editing techniques and hear Keith's thought process regarding emotional impact, scene selection, music and pacing.
Keith will share his thoughts on creating the optimal selling experience. Be a "fly on the wall" and see behind the scenes footage from actual client meetings.
In essence, Keith will turn his business inside out revealing the evolution process from startup to six figures.
Full time since 2002, Keith and his wife Jennifer serve the elite wedding cinematography market throughout the Midwest. Keith is also an accomplished musician and audio engineer with a hit single to his credit.
Short-Form Wedding Films represent the future of wedding filmmaking. Long (dull) wedding videos are quickly becoming a thing of the past.
In this session, attendees will learn the basic techniques needed to create compelling wedding films. Not allowing the client to control the production will also be covered. Attendees will learn film techniques that will change a dull viewing experience into one packed with stunning visuals.
The attendees will also learn how to sell short-form films to their clients (in place of longer traditional videos), while making more money. Depending on the length of this session, various story-telling techniques can also be covered.
"We believe there is a huge need to show creative professionals how to bring in more money by speaking to brides in THEIR language, not VIDEO language. We will use our very successful 2009 Demo Reel as a foundation to show others how to bring in more money the right way."
Below are some of the learning topics you will find in the seminar:
