Re: tired of getting bad footage
by John Baumchen (JBaumchen) on May 13, 2008 at 9:39:31 pm

I once had a client who always shot their own footage. no tape striping, lots of zoom shots....

I did manage to get them to use a tripod though. The end result was that I actually had more billable hours editing than I would have had I been behind the camera as well. They were always happy with the final, (even thought I sometimes cringed when they would view it), and most important, I always got paid on time and had lots of repeat business from them.

Having begun my video career as an editor, seeing lots of bad camera work actually helped me to be better behind the camera.

If you have a good relationship with your client, maybe suggest to them that you would be open to shooting their next project.
