Hello:

I've just finished making a 30 second television commercial advertising my wedding videography business. Please check it out and let me know what you think of it.

Sorry about that.

Adam,

The videography looks pretty solid, but the first shot and a few others have blueish tint- not sure if that is intentional or a color temperature issue. If you C.C. those to match the rest and maybe make them all a little warmer it wouldn't hurt the overall feel.

Not sure about the choice of music or the graphics- they feel a little jarring, personally...the only thing I'd definitely recommend changing is the end title screen, that silver font doesn't hold up very well against that mottled blue texture- taxing designs like that are harder to take information from.

I'd make all your title screens more high contrast, and make your phone number a LOT more noticeable (especially if you aren't listing an easy-to-remember web address).

The best marketing is a good product or service, and it looks like you have that already...so if you're gonna spend $$ on TV airtime you may as well make sure the spot results in some calls.

I liked it, but I would recommend a more understated logo.
