6 Filmmaking Tips From Darren Aronofsky
His transformation as a small budget director to the scope of his current work may be the biggest I've ever seen but he has a way of getting more out of every shot no matter what the budget.

Brittany + Seth \ Getting Ready \ Cairnwood Estate
I don't often post non-highlights, but when I do. It looks like this.

What is there to say about this that the video won't show. Gorgeous location + Gorgeous couple = Awesome Video. This was perhaps the highlight of the year for me.
Jillian & Andrew \ Ballroom at the Ben \ Highlight Film
Jillian and Andrew's wedding was sort of a last minute booking. It actually happens quite often with video. Lots of people are on the fence and as the day approaches they go from thinking about it to wanting it. I can't say for sure that was the case for Jillian but I'm so glad they did. I had a blast at the wedding. I say it all the time but they and their friends and family were so welcoming and it's true.

Noreen and Nitin / Blithewold Mansion
Noreen fell in love with our videos and we fell in love with her style. The unfortunate thing was we were already booked for the day. However she entrusted us with her gorgeous footage, shot exquisitely, by Justine and Bianca Films.

Shannan + Adam \ Lighthouse Sound
Last may Eastern Shore photographer Kimberly Tucker hired Forever Lucky to create a commercial for her photo services. While I didn't get to spend the day with Shannan and Adam we were lucky to spend a few hours, just enough to put this short together.

Filmmakers Wanted
Over the last 6 years, I've shot the vast majority of our wedding films and edited everything myself. That's a lot. Something to the tune of 1500 hours of footage. Add in having twins two years ago, being a landlord as well as a few other hats I'll be wearing in the future and the plate is spills over.
The great thing about being a mostly referral business is getting to work with people we're on the same page with from day one. The one negative is our referral base is spiraling north, south and very far west. We get requests from Virginia to Vermont every day.
Over the years we've supplemented a videographer or two based on need and I've had the great opportunity to work with some terrific filmmakers. I could do a weekend long film festival showing just the films of our shooters. I'm happy to say it's been due to their success they've moved on to other projects.
So, entering 2014 and looking toward 2015 we are looking to bolster our roster and expand into more areas. Specifially we're looking for for the following areas.

So, entering 2014 and looking toward 2015 we are looking to bolster our roster and expand into more areas. Specifially we're looking for for the following areas.
- Washington DC Metro
- Baltimore Metro
- Eastern Shore/Delware (Second shooter)
- New Jersey
- Philadelphia
- Connecticut / Rhode Island
We're mainly looking for lead shooters with some wedding experience. You don't have to have fifty weddings under your belt. We'd rather hire a part time wedding shooter who shoots all sorts of other projects than someone focused on weddings.
We pay dependant on experience, but generally $75+ for Lead Shooters and $50+ for second shooters. Since we also get requests for commercials, music videos and some other corporate work I'd love to talk to you about that as well.
We will be implementing a bonus system for 2014 and exploring some other avenues as well. Also, if you know a great videographer who ends up working with us we have a referral bonus as well.
Please feel free to email me Chris Rodgers jchrisrodgers@gmail.com with your basic camera setup, what editing suite you use as well as links any work. Check out our work at foreverluckyfilms.com
