Don't Focus Only on Price
While budget is important, don't make it all about price. Focus on quality, style, and what you're getting for your investment. The cheapest option isn't always the best value.
Avoid Overly Technical Questions
While technical knowledge is important, don't overwhelm with overly technical questions unless you're genuinely interested in the technical aspects of videography.
