Are Videographers Really Unreliable?
Let's address the elephant in the room: videographers are often seen as unreliable, lazy, and disorganized. While this perception exists, it's rarely the fault of the individuals themselves. 😅
You might think, "A videographer calling out himself and others? Bold move!" But there's more to it.
The Creative Journey

Imagine yourself as a creative—whether a videographer, photographer, or painter. Inspired by masterpieces like Jurassic Park or Starry Night, you dedicated years to perfecting your craft, tackling technical challenges, and investing heavily in your passion. 📸🎨
Over the years, you see friends graduate, secure jobs, and start families, while you're still chasing your first big break. You eventually land in fields you didn't plan on—corporate video, brand design, or event coverage. The corporate world demands reliability, sociability, and punctuality—traits that don't always align naturally with creatives.
The Business Reality
Many clients have shared their frustrations about previous experiences with unreliable videographers. Transitioning from a starving artist to a corporate professional is challenging.
My own journey in filmmaking, with aspirations of becoming the next Christopher Nolan or Steven Spielberg, has been balanced by a passion for business and entrepreneurship. I love sales, marketing, meeting new people, and exploring various industries. This blend has fueled the success of San Antonio Video Productions (SAVP). If I could be the owner of SAVP for the rest of my life, I’d die happy.
