holding off

Rather than having people state their opinions, or even sharing your own stories, this portion might be more effective as words on the screen.

"45% of families never have a professional portrait taken"

"There are a million reasons to hold off"

"But one important one to make it a priority"

"TIME."

Quote about time?

*Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
~William Shakespeare


Time is the only thief we can't get justice against.  ~Astrid Alauda

The Present is a Point just passed.  ~David Russell
 


*Time waits for no man"

time passed away with us, and also our blives passed away like as it were unto us a cdream,

Video Ideas

I want my video to be a reflection of who I am, and not what I think other people are going to think is cool or what I am expected to do.

I want the music to reflect me.

I want it to have a strong emotional pull.

Use quotes? Tell stories?

Is it about me, or my philosophy?

I feel more comfortable if its not about me.

It should be about them. Perhaps taking that approach?

One thing I don't want people to feel watching the video, is that they aren't cool enough to work with me. That they have no story. I want to appeal to those who are humble, who aren't in the "popular" crowd. I know. It doesn't seem to fit the corporate definition of "target market" does it?

How can I have an incredible video without intimidating people, but inspiring them instead?

I want them to be inspired to act. I want them to be inspired about themselves.

Are there statistics I can use?

I can appeal to the emotions through my philosophy.  Tell stories.  Use philosophy.

Authenticity.  


What makes images powerful?


Visual Biographer of the worlds greatest secrets.


Be seeking for some quotes, some stats, some stories, your own experiences.  
Maybe talk about the reasons that people hold off on their pictures.  Then talk about the reasons they love their pictures.  ?

Talk about the sanctity of THIS MOMENT.  Of NOW. 
Talk about the sanctity of our life and family. 
Talk about peeling away the distractions. 
HOw we need the images that have that "power" to be our beckoning in our life. 
There IS a great purpose.
