All-Star
a
nother year, another all-star team, and I couldn’t
be happier with the team you picked. The
competition was tougher than ever this year,
with another dramatic increase in the total number of
votes—thanks in large part to videographers voting up to 25
times—and the total number of votes required to make the
list. This year we had more than 50 multi-vote getters who
didn’t make the list, which speaks well for the the eagerness
of videographers to recognize and honor their influences.
As in past years, when assembling the all-star baseball
cards that follow, I posed two of these three beauty
pageant-style questions to each honoree. Here they are:
• What is the biggest challenge facing/problem with
videography today, and what can individual
videographers do to address it?
• What is the most important development
in videography in the last year, and why?
• What can we do to help the industry grow?

TEAM
One frequent response to #2 was the impact of broadband internet and the prevalence of video forums, which
have extended the sphere of interaction and influence to
encompass videographers around the world. In deference
to Thomas L. Friedman’s influential tome on the progress
of globalization in the 21st century, I’m tempted to call the
increasingly international scope of our industry more
evidence of the “world is flat” phenomenon, but when you
look at the variety of innovation in videography today, and
the way that videographers interacting on a global level
has spurred the explosive creative growth of our field,
“flat” is the last word that comes to mind.
So without further ado, I present, from points far and near,
your newly minted all-star team: The 2007 EventDV 25.

“Business sense and education are the
cornerstone for any company. Unfortunately,
most videographers have little if any business
knowledge. The local and national associations
need to bring more awareness to this problem
and take steps to address it.”

Biggest problem with videography today:
“The think small/hobbyist mentality and the
failure to develop contemporary brands.
Videographers need to stop settling for average,
learn from similar industries (such as
photography), be proactive instead of reactive,
and embrace new trends in marketing,
filmmaking, and editing.”

Biggest challenge:
“Event videographers tend to be individuals

Very few excel or even are competent at all
levels of filmmaking. Training can help
individuals to specialize in one or two areas
and help them fit into a high-end studio.”

How to make the industry grow:
“Re-evaluate the style of product being
delivered. Search for fresh and innovative
shooting/editing concepts. Video is no longer
new to the wedding industry, and that excuse
for our failure to become a staple of the
wedding day has passed.”
