We're going to limit it to 20 people, so places will be on a first come, first served basis.  It will be totally informal, you don't have to be there for the whole hour, just drop in and out as you feel.  In order to register, please send an email to owivpodcast@gmail.com and we'll provide you with the meeting ID and password.  Look forward to seeing you soon!  Rich and Andre

In this weeks podcast I chat with UK based videographer Andre Foster. A few years ago Andre made the decision to close down his successful wedding videography business and slowly make the transition to becoming a freelance wedding videographer.  He now gets to travel the UK covering weddings for a large number of wedding videography studios. This is not only in the capacity as a 2nd shooter, but as his reputation is so highly regarded, a number of companies will use Andre to primary shoot. We have a good chat about his motivations for moving to freelance, how his retention rate for clients remains so high and how he gets his hair looking so neat, even in lockdown! There's a huge amount to learn from this one - Enjoy!   If you've got an ideas for future podcast topics you'd like us to cover or if you'd like to hear from a guest speaker, please email us at owivpodcast@gmail.com  Social: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ourweekinvideo/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ourweekinvideo/ Twitter: https://twit
