Gerard:
For me Videography started as something for friends and relatives and slowly grew into things much bigger. This was in the early 80's when cameras and recorders were two separate units that were heavy and used a lot of battery power. They also required a fair bit of light to see what was happening in the church.
Back then it was a small cottage industry, getting ready to mushroom into a much bigger market for anyone with a video camera. A lot of very poor videos were produced, as have a go people thought it was a way to make some quick money, without really any thought to the production values or quality for the client. For years this gave the industry a bad name and the cost varied immensely with no link to quality.
However into the mid 90's the market settled, people realised it was not the quick earner they originally thought, and left the field to the true professionals.
In the last few years the industry has moved on and the production tools available to the videographer has improved to no end, Cameras and equipment have become better.
The system I use today at present is the latest in Digital technology ,Two Sony Broadcast quality camera’s and a highly sophisticated editing production suite.
