Great advice! Thanks so much! What kind of packages do you offer when you shoot events like this? Is it just a 2-4 min highlight video? Or a handful of short videos?
You are so welcome! I would usually do one highlight video, and then always try and do 5-10 shorter videos depending on how long the event was and how much footage I could capture. A lot of mine would be 60-90 seconds if it was a short more low key event, a few examples were a 2 hour event where people were pitching their startups, 2 hour grand opening of a restaurant. For bigger events that were more 4-5 hours I would usually end up adding in some type of interviews throughout to really speak to what is happening. But these can really be all over the place, sometimes a client just wants a bunch of short videos chopped up, sometimes they want a 5-10 minute video but ultimately I find that if I speak up with what I feel would be the best fit they almost always go with it.
And pricing for stuff like this where you really can almost just walk in and hang out and you know you can edit something together super quick I would always shoot for $750 for 2-4 hours and $1500 anything 4-6 hours and that would include editing as well. And these should be super easy and fun, no meeting for multiple hours discussing the project or spending days editing, cause it can become not worth it very quick!
❤keep doing a blessed father's in not given up to them as showing them with more love and compassion in correct them so that they will not be a bad sons or daughters God example my dearest brother in christ and son in jesus powers each day Amen and Amen 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅
So freakin true. Just purely doing the thing is the most important. And by doing that I will always learn something, thanks for even taking the time to watch! 💜
Sounds like you've never experienced having to decide between eating and heating your home. If I had to choose between food in my stomach and a warm roof over my head or emotional intelligence, I'm taking the food and warm housing.
Thank you for your comment. I completely understand where you are coming from, I have actually many times been in that exact situation you are describing and it’s awful as a father or parent. What do you think is the most important skill to teach children to prepare them for life's challenges?
Yes, absolutely not advocating for not teaching both. I know a lot of people who were taught neither though including myself, what was your experience though? Would love to hear
My goal with this discussion is to highlight the importance of emotional intelligence, which is often overlooked compared to financial literacy in my own experience. Totally agree both are essential.
Exactly! They aren't mutually exclusive, but unfortunately, many people grow up without learning much about either which makes life extremely difficult. That was for sure my experience becoming an adult. How about for you??
In real situations they are often exclusive. Many people avoid emotions and neglect their relationships so they can get ahead in the business world. That's why there is often a separation between work life and family life, some people focus on work to the expense of their family and emotional depth.
@@ho11owbone thank you for sharing, seriously. I wasn’t even really thinking of this type of example even though it’s so common. I had a mentor tell me if I wanted my business to succeed it would come at the expense of my family, I did not allow that and did grow a good business. I’ve just seen so many people provide beyond enough for their family but they are so disconnected that eventually there is nothing to any of their relationships and it’s sad, it’s way sad.
I completely relate to that. It sounds unbelievable, but when I started to understand how much our lives are impacted by our level of emotional intelligence, I realized how often, in my 28 years, my lack of EQ made my relationships with myself and others far more difficult than they ever needed to be. How do you feel these days though??
You are welcome! As we become adults we have such little experience setting boundaries and that’s super super important. And for recurring issues I think sometimes we are too quick to agree to a solution we aren’t actually committed to, so communicating really clearly and agreeing on the solution is so important. I’m not a therapist by any means but I work with several amazing ones that create course for my software company, would love to give you access to the courses and see if it’s helpful to you??
I had to walk away from someone I didn't want to lose and ever since, I've been focusing on remembering to forget. Overtime I had forgotten how powerful the power I possess because of her possessiveness that possessed me to a fault. I Loved her in spite- and part because of our past which is what kept me with her through the heart ache. That kinda pain reminds me of what caused the hurt in the first place. At some point I realized it didn't mean just because we have history with one another she needed to be a part of my future. Knowing I had to eventually walk away soon became a priority, but every attempt in doing so became a brief moment in forever, that's where my problems probably began. Her actions actually proved she wasn't my ideal match. The things she did had me unable to concentrate. Storm clouds invaded my mind, heavy rain threatened to baptize my eyes and my ears burned hotter than a fire that was created in hell. Impossible seemed too impossible. However, becoming a friend to myself instead of breaking my own heart to protect myself was just one step in the right direction. Still, there were times my mind was assurbated and my downfalls stumbled over my DOWNFALLS. Telling myself I'm just a human being, being human was pathetic because there are no excuse for excuses, so I started living immediately! Now I've been single for 4 years now. But the crazy part is that all I see are, women who only gravitate towards the total opposite of a good man. I am lonely, but never alone because I am my own best friend. Nevertheless, I do crave companionship. Anyways, my name is -Kelty Loranlo Miller. RU-vid: loranlomiller54. Fb: Loranlo Miller. Facebook: Kelty Kelty: fb Kelty Miller. Facebook: Kerron Baker.

This was really amazing to read. “However, becoming a friend to myself instead of breaking my own heart to protect myself” that’s super powerful. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️
It really is, but unfortunately it’s so uncommon. Which is why we have to value people like this, and if we are that person for someone else, to know how amazing an valuable of a human you are.
@@Fullpain-xo8je it’s really hard for me to post, especially knowing there is so much noise online. I really want to connect with people so even just your comment means so much. Thank you!
