In about 6 weeks I will be setting up at a Red Hat League gathering. I'll have a background and freedom to attend all the gatherings for candids. My event experience is dance and sport competitions so I am trying to think about ways to maximize my investment in time on this one. Convention type shoots are not one of my strengths.
I am already planning to:
- provide a 5x7 for everyone so I know I will have great traffic. The event folks are paying a nominal fee for this service.
- other events they have attended use green screen technology. I have a green screen which I have yet to master. I'd appreciate some tips on that one.
- I plan to sell coupons on day one which allows them to pre-purchase photos at a discount during the weekend. The thought here is to get them to spend money with me early while they still have money and give them a reason to come back later on.
- candids will be shot with 8 or 9 computers setup as viewing stations.
- online will be offered with a 20% surcharge. My experience with online has not been good. They want it, but they don't visit it.
- onsite printing. 5x7 size only.
If you have shot a similar event what have you done that worked and didn't work.
Thanks
