There are many factors to consider in your search for a videographer. Here are some of the most common things to watch out for and ask about:
Inexperience – Not everyone with a camera is a videographer
Low-grade equipment – A video is only as good as the footage and audio it has to work with
Disorganized/Unprepared – Missing important moments, needing to switch out batteries, etc
Being obtrusive and “in your face” – Makes people uncomfortable
Shakey shots – Improperly framed shots, not panning smoothly
Cheesy Editing – Page turns, wipes, distracting transitions, dated music
Creating videos that look outdated – Distracting transitions, lots of zooming rather than panning, odd music selections
