Fizber.com, the fastest growing US Online Real Estate Site, is building a network of videographers nationwide and looking for video professionals to fill their Videographers Directory (http://videographers.fizber.com/signup.html).
Real estate video tours are becoming extremely popular nowadays. More and more home owners and real estate agents are integrating video into real estate listings. With the continuous advances in technology, studies show that full motion video is the most compelling visual medium for online marketing.
Fizber.com launched their videographers directory (http://videographers.fizber.com/) aiming to provide home sellers, real estate agents and many others with this invaluable tool that highlights their properties or listings. "Real estate video requires some specialized techniques," says Julia Foster, PR Manager for Fizber.com. "Therefore, I think it's a good idea to hire a professional to produce polished and compelling real estate video. It definitely makes all the difference to have someone experienced in the shooting, editing and production of the videos."
Video presentation of houses has become another branch of service in the real estate world, and Fizber.com has realized the necessity of launching a videographer directory to better serve their customers needs. "It takes more than a HD camera to make the house look good on video", adds Foster. "There has to be a professional or at least experienced video creator with knowledge in real estate so that they can provide an informative experience during the real estate video about the entire house to the viewer".

Person behind the screen also important: Chouhan
Bhopal, Dec 24: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that persons who work behind the scene have their own importance and their contribution cannot be ignored. Such people command respect and their abilities get recognition at appropriate time. Chief Minister Chouhan was addressing the one-day seminar on the subject 'Creativity Behind the Scene' as chief guest. The seminar was organised by Association of Applied Videography Professionals at Samanvay Bhavan here on Monday. Bhopal Mayor Sunil Sood presided over the function.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that these days videographers of Madhya Pradesh are spreading the fragrance of their deftness in various institutions in the nook and corner of India. The cameraman or videographer also puts in his service with the same dedication and energy and application of mind as a newsman, scriptwriter and director. Sometimes, videographers have to face risky and delicate situations. Chouhan said that generally people remain unaware about the person working behind the camera while he is the person who deserves limelight and credit. Chouhan said that necessary initiatives would be taken to further equip Sardar Vallabh Bhai Polytechnic's Applied Videography Department with more facilities and professional problems faced by videographers would also be sorted out.
Secretary Public Relations and Culture, Manoj Shrivastava took part in the seminar as the main speaker and threw light on the subject in detail. Film director Vivek Agnihotri and cinematographer Aseem Bajaj also addressed the seminar.
At the outset Chief Minister Chouhan and other guests were welcomed. Association president Avdhesh Pandey said that videographers are being trained since 1984 at the Applied Videography Department of SV Polytechnic in Bhopal. Special programmes would be held next year to mark the silver jubilee of the institution. Pandey also apprised about the problems being faced by videographers. Those also present on the occasion included association patron HBS Parihar, Rajneesh Pandey, Avdhesh Singh, Hemank Tripathi and Rajesh Dube. During the programme late Anand Kumra, who had been associated the institution, was also commemorated.
Chief Minister Chouhan also released the Video Professionals Directory published by the association.

Do I Really Need a Wedding Video?
Your wedding day will be a blur to you and your parents. You plan the many details for months, but your wedding day goes by so fast that you will miss a large part of it.
A wedding video is like a “time machine”. It lets you relive your wedding day as often as you like, anytime you like. As a fellow videographer put it, “It let’s you attend your own wedding at your leisure without the stresses and distractions of the day.” It is also a significant and important “living” document for your families, your children, and grandchildren. Some couples don’t realize just how important their wedding video will become until they experience the loss of a loved one that attended their wedding.
I Want a Wedding Video but I Have a Friend With a Camcorder
Some couples use a friend or family member to videotape their wedding day. Would you have a friend or family member take all of your wedding photographs? Probably not.
We have heard numerous stories of people running out of tape or batteries, not shooting important activities, and taking shaky or bad footage. Using a friend or relative can cause hard feelings and ruin relationships if your video is poorly done or not done at all. Also, that person can’t enjoy themselves at your wedding while they are videotaping it.
A wedding video is a movie of your wedding day, a lasting memory that contains 30 pictures every second and includes the timeless sites and sounds of every important event that took place on your special day. A professional wedding video should tell the story of your wedding day. Using creative camera work, a keen attention to detail, and artistic editing using music, the right blend of effects and transitions, the professional wedding videographer should produce a video you will watch often and be proud to show others.
I’m Having a Photographer So I Don’t Need a Video
Both your photographs and your wedding video are of equal importance. You can’t frame your wedding video or carry it with you in your purse or wallet to show a friend.
But, you can’t hear your marriage vows, see a tear as it rolls down your cheek, or relive the sights, sounds, and emotions of your dad walking you down the aisle or your first dance as husband and wife.
Photography and videography are both artistic expressions and vary from artist to artist. It is important to view the work of each and meet one-on-one with the person(s) that will be producing your photographs and your wedding video. Make sure that their style and personalities match your expectations.
How Much Will It Cost?
There is a misconception that your wedding video should be less expensive than your photographs:
* A professional videographer should attend your rehearsal to meet the Officiant, become familiar with the order of activities, and offer ideas and assistance to improve the video.
* A professional videographer will invest around $20,000 or more in equipment plus training and experience.
* Typical wedding day coverage includes two cameras with operators that shoot almost continuously for five hours or more.
* Your wedding video will take 20 to 30 hours or more to edit so that the raw footage is transformed into a smoothly flowing story of your wedding day.
* And, unlike Steven Spielberg or even your photographer, your videographer has only one take to capture your wedding day activities. The ceremony or special events can’t be stopped and done over if something isn’t perfect.
Your wedding videographers must be the:
- producer
- director
- lighting technician
- sound person
- cinematographer
- editor
and they must perform all of these jobs well to produce the wedding video that you hope for and deserve.
Pricing varies depending on experience, services offered, time spent, etc. Choose a videographer based on how their work makes your feel when you see it then discuss pricing based on what it will take to produce your personal video memory.
Couples tell us that the best money they spent was on their wedding video and are so happy they made the decision to have one.
When Should I Book a Videographer?
As with your first choice for your ceremony, reception, and other vendors the best wedding videographers will be booked first. You should meet with videographers as you would photographers, if not earlier in your planning process. There are fewer videographers than there are photographers. Eight months to one year prior to your day is not too early.
Do I Really Need a Wedding Video?
It’s up to you. Your wedding day will only happen once in your lives. Don't regret not having your precious memories preserved in a video that you can see and relive over and over.

Tips On Choosing A Wedding Videographer
Finding that perfect person to preserve your special day on video can be a daunting task. There are many things that you need to know before you write your name on that contract. Here are some suggestions for picking that perfect video that is just right for you.
* Ask friends & family for referrals. People will talk loud & often about services they didn’t like, but they don’t talk often enough about those they did! Ask around, I’m sure you’ll find a few people you know who were very happy with their videographers or other wedding/event vendors.
* Search the internet – not just in your area, but surrounding areas as well. If you have a larger budget, you can even look national. Many vendors will travel as long as you pay their travel costs.
* Look in magazines – although sometimes only the vendors with the large budgets advertise here. Many young or cost effective companies won’t spend that much money on advertising, but their services are just as good. You will find some qualified leads here, though.
* Compile a list of all videographers (or other vendors) that you feel could possibly be a good fit for your wedding. Don’t worry about price, location or other factors at this point. Just list everyone that is a possibility.
* Next you need to determine the factors (I suggest 3) that are most important to you & your fiancé. Some suggestions to think about are:
o Local vendors only (they know the area best)
o Quality of work
o Style of video (ranges from documentary to MTV)
o Personalities (you need to be comfortable with the people you hire)
o Price
o Years in business
o Type of music used
o How many cameras
o Types of lighting & audio
o Extra features (Love Story, Photo Montages, Recaps, etc)
o Small business or large company
o And many more.
* Compare the companies on your list – look at websites & call or email them to determine how they fit with your 3 important factors.
* Narrow down your list to 3-5 of your favorite vendors & make appointments to visit them & view more of their work. You will know right off the bat if you will mesh with the videographers. Make sure you are meeting at least one of the videographers that will be there on your wedding day. It’s great if you get along with the owner of the company, but if you don’t mesh with the one actually there on your wedding day, that could spell trouble. Also, ask to see a video that is in the specific style you like or at the location where your wedding will be. No 2 wedding videos are the same, but you want to see something that is at least close to what you will be getting.
* Now you’re ready to make your decision. Make sure once you decide you get them a deposit right away. Nothing is worse than getting your heart set on a vendor & then finding out it’s too late & they are already booked!
Once you have made your decision following this guide, you can rest assured that the company you picked will deliver to you the video that you could already see in your mind.

Camcorders in Activists’ Hands:
Tools for Change
Communication for Change
Activists often do not have the resources or the time to produce, edit, and distribute documentaries. However, they continue to use video cameras in their struggles for change. Activists have found that video can influence behavior and keep the opposition on their toes. They want to demonstrate to their adversaries that they can reach a large audience with powerful video images. Video is a potent tool for advancing campaigns and building social movements. The following examples illustrate how a video camera can be a valuable, non-violent tool.
1) Cameras Protect Activists
Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC) (www.wildrockies.org/Buffalo) is an activist organization dedicated to the preservation of America’s last herd of wild buffalo. They send video cameras out with activists on all of their campaigns. Sometimes these activists put themselves in dangerous situations, for example, locking themselves on cattle catchers as a way of impeding law enforcement efforts to capture or kill buffalo. In these heated situations, they find that the cameras help keep the law enforcement officials on their best behavior.
“Cameras help to protect our protesters.” —Pete Leusch of BFC
Pete Leusch reports that their videographers are targets for arrest and that ungrounded seizure of their tapes sometimes occurs during these arrests. To deal with this problem, BFC appoints a “runner”. Once something valuable has been recorded, the runner gets the tape out of the area quickly to avoid confiscation by the police.
2) Video Gives Leverage to Victims of Violence
Aklima Begum lives in a village in Western Bangladesh. She is a member of Banchte Shekha, a community development organization that provides video training, access to credit, and health services. Aklima learned to operate a video camera and document cases of domestic violence and dowry abuse. Her tapes are used to educate and to advocate for just settlements in traditional village hearings. Recently, the threat of making a video about a woman’s case was enough to motivate the woman’s husband to negotiate a settlement. The husband did not want to be embarrassed in front of his neighbors. Banchte Shekha leaders assert that the video campaigns serve as a deterrent to abuse and violence
