Videographer Definition
A videographer is someone who is responsible for recording live events on digital media. A videographer is similar to cinematography, but it is out of the motion picture field and usually unscripted. Videography today has become more documentary-like, meaning the videographer is in the background and usually unnoticed. They focus on smaller productions like documentaries, live events, weddings, sports events, birthday parties, and so much more. They often work alone with a single-camera setup or with a small team of assistants or a second-hand videographer to capture more.
How Much to Tip a Videographer
Although it is not required, tipping your videographer is a nice gesture. If they don't own their studio, consider tipping each crew member that works on your event. The typical tipping price is $50 to $200 per vendor or a nice gift. If they go above and beyond their required duties tipping or giving them a gift will show your immense gratitude for their efforts.
What Factors Determine the Videographer Price?
There are many factors that impact the price of a wedding or event videographer. The cost can vary based on the number of hours of raw footage, the amount of editing and retouching, the size of the crew required, the final length of the video, the location and distance traveled, the length of the event, and any additional services required. Some videographers also have an hourly rate for their services while others may have a flat rate for their various packages.
Why Should I Hire a Professional Videographer?
Hiring a professional videographer has many benefits. They have experience in filming live events so they can ensure that all the important moments are recorded in a professional manner. With their experience comes the knowledge of what equipment is needed and to adapt to any on-site changes or problems that may occur. They also have the right equipment that you may otherwise not have. Professional videographers also know exactly how to change the camera setting to best capture your day. Instead of worrying about the details, let the professionals take care of it all so you can enjoy your event stress-free!
