Backlog Blog (part I)

As of today, I am about nine wedding videos behind schedule. I am backlogged like most wedding videographers are but since this is my first experience with such a big post-wedding-season backlog I am a little stressed out.

Recently I have changed my contracts to allow for the possibility of delay without bad repercussions but most of the weddings I am behind on right now are not from contracts that have such protections. My clients have all been very cool and very understanding but I just feel bad on a personal level.

Luckily for me (and them) I don't ask for the final payment from them until my product is delivered. This helps them feel better about the delay. It helps them know I haven't run off to the Ozarks with all of their money.

Anyway, suffice it to say I am very behind and swamped with work until at least Thanksgiving. So I probably shouldn’t be blogging right now. Back to the editing bay I go!
