I figure I will being with wedding videos since the I should be able to book few regardless of my experience.  After establishing a portfolio and having my card floating around the area, I plan on moving along and expanding to other areas of the business. I have been reading a lot but really am interested in what you all have to say. Here are my questions:</p> <p>a) Should I being renting equipment until I make enough $ to buy my own, or should I go in debt immediatly?</p> <p>b) What equipment is ESSENTIAL when beginning? (note: I am just starting, but I have no intentions of creating anything less than great).</p> <p>c) What is the best first step(s) in breaking into the local wedding video business in my area?</p> <p>Those are some of the more important questions I have right now. I am going to try and get as much experience with other companies by just helping out right now, but market research has dominated my interest.  I also understand how important good picture quality is, but I do believe that having an eye for photography can go a long way.  Not having the best camera won't help my quest, but I do not believe that it will keep my company from creating good things.  Thank you all!</p>
