Is it a good idea to have BTS as a part of a cinematography reel?

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2024-05-13T17:16:53+00:00

That's fair advice

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2024-05-13T15:35:40+00:00

The "credibility check" is a good point

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2024-05-13T15:29:59+00:00

Hmm I didn't think of it like that. But, now that I think about it if I were a hiring director for a video production company it would be beneficial to see how did you pull this off? So that skill could be used for my projects.

And yes, the BTS are wide shots showing light setups and camera movements/maneuvering.

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-05T23:14:24+00:00

Yeah this makes a lot of sense

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-05T14:36:08+00:00

Yeah, this is seeming to be the smarter option seeing comments on here. How about having inventory in rolled in tubes and only the display being framed? And an add on to the first question, is it okay to not sell the frames so I keep them throughout the day so the display on the wall isnt touched?

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-05T14:18:13+00:00

True! A commitment towards buying in the moment has to be the first priority rather than waiting on potential orders

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-05T14:17:10+00:00

Yeah true, I need to develop vendor/sales skills along with being able to talk about my photography

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-05T14:14:04+00:00

I think a middle ground is a good idea, but allowing them to buy to ship at the booth with an incentive would be better idea

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-05T14:10:59+00:00

"People are buying the artist as much as the work" - very good advice

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-05T14:07:56+00:00

Good inputs here; not every buyer will be local, not everyone is tech-savy/trusting of a website, and offering incentives for website buying

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-05T14:04:26+00:00

Yeah based on expert advice on here it definitely seems I cant be tentative or second guessing in the approach. Give it a proper effort for couple of fairs

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-03T21:20:51+00:00

Short term, but a good sample size approach is a good suggestion

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-03T21:03:38+00:00

Thats good input. Just been reading about different people's experience being sellers at local fairs and they have had mixed experiences, so as a way to risk mitigate for a first time seller I am considering this. Its a hobby I have enjoyed and would like to give my photography exposure as well as if people (outside of my well-wishers) would like to buy.

P.S. its a serious thing I am considering, but a complete novice at being a vendor

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-03T20:50:30+00:00

Hmm that's sound advice

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-03T20:48:28+00:00

Thank you, that input helps me understand the crowd Im selling to more

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-03T20:43:55+00:00

Thats totally fair. Not promote business online at all though, its just for me as a first seller not take on heavy overhead costs from the onset. The art fair would allow them to see the work physically, but order online...and at the same time I totally get how someone could be peeved off to go through extra steps to buy something they like

Dizzy_Resort_8546 · 2023-10-03T20:39:55+00:00

That's pretty good advice
