Alan Naumann | In today's tight job market, it's important for a job seeker to stand out from the many other applicants who are applying for the same position. Welcome to video resumes—or "visumes," as they are sometimes referred to. Creating a video resume means more than just standing in front of the camera and saying the first thing that comes to mind.
Alan Naumann | Just because we no longer use VHS tapes doesn't mean we can't profit from the millions of tapes sitting on people's shelves. We have an obligation to communicate to our clients that their precious VHS tapes have a limited shelf life and are in the process of deterioration. We also need to communicate to them that we have a service to offer: converting their VHS tapes to DVD.
Alan Naumann | Whereas many dads connect with their sons through sports, my son Jason and I connected through video. We spent many hours together making music videos and short films, as well as shooting various events. Partly as a result of that, he's now living out my dream of becoming an independent filmmaker.
Alan Naumann | Today we have something more powerful than any communication technology in history: video. Video technology is still new enough, though, that we are only now beginning to understand its real power and potential.
Alan Naumann | As videographers we have a few choices when it comes to protecting the DVDs we deliver against piracy. The one I recommend is to apply the protection ourselves with PTProtect, a new technology developed and marketed by Primera Technology, the company that brought us the popular Bravo line of automated DVD duplication and printing systems.
Alan Naumann | Over the years I have gone through several scanners, and I have learned how to use photos effectively in my business. I do hundreds of memorial videos each year (each having anywhere from 30 to 1,500 photos), and I also do other types of montages using photos. For this to be profitable, I rely on speed and quality, which means I need the right scanner.
Alan Naumann | Recently, I had the opportunity to videotape a memorial service for a group called the U.S. Marine Raiders. This is a yearly event held at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis to honor those Raiders who have died during the past year. It was a privilege to videotape the service, record the names of the deceased Raiders that were read during the service, and to take photos of the battalions represented.

Alan Naumann | I was recently asked to shoot a 50-year class reunion at a local high school. There are 150,000 high school reunions each year, with an annual total attendance of 27 million, or 180 per reunion. That's a lot of potential business for event videographers.

Alan Naumann | This past year I had the privilege of introducing event videography to a young man and watching his excitement as he discovered the wonderful world of video. Scott Leake (www.makingmagicmemories.com) is a talented young man who has been working with me since Aug. 1, 2007. Recently, I asked him to share his thoughts about his first year as a professional videographer.
Alan Naumann | As media consultants, we can do much more than videotape funerals and produce memorial tributes; we can help funeral homes evaluate their audio/video needs, give them choices, and offer training and support. We can also produce promotional videos for their websites and even commercials for TV.
Alan Naumann | It is important to have the right equipment in order to do a professional job, but that doesn't mean you have to purchase the equipment. Welcome to the world of renting.
Alan Naumann | Sometimes it is more important for us, as videographers, to do the right thing than to be right and, in the process, preserve something money can't buy: our integrity.
Alan Naumann | By regarding ourselves as more than wedding/event videographers, we invite a whole world of possibilities. It makes our work more challenging and exciting as we attempt things that are outside of our comfort zone.
Alan Naumann | Working with nonprofit groups is a wonderful way to expose people to our work.
Alan Naumann | As we think of different life events, perhaps one of the most anticipated and memorable is high school graduation. Unfortunately, as time passes, so do the memories—unless there is a committed videographer on hand to capture them. Welcome to the world of video yearbooks.
Alan Naumann | Personal event video is all about capturing moments in time. In this column we will explore opportunities for videographers to capture all these important moments in life for their clients—from the cradle to the grave. Weddings are only one of the many life events that demand our services.
