1. Can I view samples of your work?
You can view samples of my work by visiting the Portfolio page, the KLP Vimeo channel or the KLP YouTube channel.
For events, ideally, one year before the scheduled day and time, six months at the latest.
For businesses, ideally, one month before the scheduled day and time, one week at the latest.
3. What is your work style?
For events, I prefer to be in the background and shoot the candid moments that unfold naturally. As the guests become comfortable, I may get in closer for some unique angles or moments. I do not stage shots or pose people.
For businesses, I prefer to be in a designated location (or locations) where there are no interruptions for either me or the business.
I accept cash, check, and credit card*.
5. How much is the initial retainer? When are the initial retainer and balance due?
The initial retainer (or deposit) is half of the total price and is due at the time of signing a KLP Video Agreement (or contract). The remaining balance of the total package price is due two (2) weeks before the event or shoot.
6. What information do you need from me before the scheduled day and time?
Job Type - Event videography or business videography?
When - What is the date and time of the event or shoot?
How Long - What are the approximate number of hours you will need videography?
Where - What is the name(s) and address(es) of the location(s) for the event or shoot?
Specifics - What are the important details about your event or shoot that KLP should know about and ultimately cover?
Number of Videographers - One or two videographers?
Filming Location(s) - Will filming take place indoors, outdoors or both?
Final Product(s) Requested - Feature length film? Highlight film? Advertisement? Corporate video? Something else? How many final products?
​When it comes to events, I will be providing a questionnaire for you to fill out in full. This will help with not only filming your event but also creating your final video product(s).
7. What is my final product and how do I receive it?
Your final product is generally an edited video in Full HD resolution. 4K resolution is available but only upon request.* (*The price for 4K will be higher than Full HD.) Regardless of resolution, the final product is uploaded to Vimeo, YouTube, and/or Dropbox, depending on what was agreed upon in the video agreement. After the final product is uploaded, its link is e-mailed for watching, downloading, sharing, etc. on any internet-enabled device, in any modern browser.
8. What time will you arrive and how long will you film?
This is entirely dependent upon your KLP Video Agreement. Regardless, I always arrive well in advance of the event or shoot's scheduled start time to setup and place equipment. Ultimately, the camera(s) will not be filming consistently the entire time.
9. Who exactly will be shooting my video? Do you use subcontractors?
Since I am a single proprietor (i.e. one man operation), I will personally be shooting your video. In fact, I will be creating the video from beginning to end. I only uses subcontractors when a second cameraman is needed or if I am unavailable.
10. How far do you travel? Are there traveling expenses?
11. How long does it take to get back our video(s)?
For events, please allow approximately seven (7) to nine (9) months for the delivery of your film(s). If completed sooner or later than the approximate time, notification will be sent immediately.
For businesses, it depends on how many videos, their length, their simplicity or complexity, etc. Ultimately, please allow approximately one (1) week to six (6) months for the delivery of your video(s). If completed sooner or later than the approximate time, notification will be sent immediately.
12. Do you offer photography, too?
I do not do photography. However, I have plenty of photographer associates whom I have worked with on many occasions. In fact, with any of them, I can custom create photo-video packages for you.
13. Can you work within my budget?
I am able to work within your budget as long as I find it to be monetarily feasible.
14. Do you offer special discounts?
I offer a special discount for military, police, fire department, EMTs, and other first responders who are either active duty, a veteran or spouse, which is 25% off all packages AND enhancements once proof of service (i.e. ID) is provided.
15. Do you have liability insurance?
Yes, I do. With that said, please ask your venue(s) if it requires a Certificate of Insurance (COI) from me. If it does, then please notify me as soon as possible along with the venue's contact information and a specific contact at the venue (i.e. manager, event coordinator, etc.). Ultimately, the venue and its specific contact must be documented as the COI's Certificate Holder.
16. Why is a DVD or Blu-Ray not my final product?
I can go into in-depth and lengthy reasons why but I am going to boil it down to this: Since 2014, I have stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays because I knew that they were becoming outdated and obsolete. As a result, I transitioned my video delivery method to strictly online, using Vimeo, YouTube and Dropbox.
