It's Not Your Mother's Wedding Radio Talk Show is on every Saturday morning at 10 am Eastern time on Radio Station 1190AM (WAMT) in Orlando. You can also listen on the internet here. The show is archived for those who want to listen to it.
Yesterday, December 8th, the topic was "Videography--It's More Important Than You Think." I was on the show along with Roy Chapman, Chairman of WEVA International. It is a "live" radio show based in Orlando, but listeners come from all over the country since you can listen to it on the internet!
Bill Parkison is a delightful host and he made our jobs easy since he is very much pro-video himself! He tells how his family loves to watch their wedding video - especially the footage of their grandparents who are no longer living.
We discussed many things such as current trends in wedding video, High-Def, the WEVA Brides Guide, portable video, The WEVA Nationwide Survey of Brides, how WEVA provides education to videographers through Conventions, etc.
After the show, I received a few complimentary emails from videographers who had listened in (thank you!). I even had a bride of mine listen in and she said she really enjoyed it (in fact, she tried to call in, but the phone lines were weren't working properly) .
Kathy and Al Ritondo talk to WEVA Hall of Fame Inductee and Public Relations Committee Chairperson Kris Malandruccolo about the Heritage Maker Storybooks that she sells as add on’s to her clients. We also talk about using the Video IPOD to promote your business, encoding for the client who then has a portable promotion of your work. Additionally, she sells “Bridal Prep” and Bridal Prep for the Ipod called “Bridepod” as well as ,“Highlights”, “Bridal Party Cam”, and using the clients Personal Videos and Same Day Edits which are then programmed for the couple to take with them on the IPOD. We talk about using MuVee to cut editing time. We disucss the transition to High Dev and the new Sony EX Camera. Kris tell us about a new video hosting site called Talk Fusion that she uses when emailing clients sample videos.We talk about the explosion of the photo book market and her session at PMA-08 and WEVA’s Wide World of Weddings this January 29 in Las Vegas, Nevada and her recent presentation at the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) Convention in Orlando, Florida.
