Technology is making it easier for event planners

1. - everyone has access to top level technology. Anyone can get an HD camera and most people have that. So that part of the value is gone.

2 - the entire world is images and people are so used to watching reality TV, and stupid stuff on Youtube, that the line is blurred between professional and ameteur.

3 - the new generation - does't actually know the difference.

The other issue I think is that this may just be a business issue for you. You clearly have been doing this for years, right? I mean if you "remember" when VHS camcorders came out. So you are a more seasoned pro. Well, business has also changed and so has pricing. There are lots of new things one need to do to keep up with business and customers needs, desires and being innovative, just keeping up with the technology is not enough. So you have to always stay on the pulse and offer new things. Just handing someone a DVD, well, there is so much more than you can do.

What you are talking about it true in the sense you can get more from motion picture these days, but nearly anyone can do it with somewhat decent results.

Plus the other main factor is that everyones entire life is already in images everywhere. Years ago, everyone didn't have a digital camera, everyone didn't have photos of them being posted on the internet on FB everyday, so there was a time when videos were actually really unique and special. Now people upload videos of themselves and their friends all the time. So you aren't selling anything unique anymore like perhaps 20 years ago.
