So many people now think they are photographers since they have the newest, greatest P&S camera on the market AND everyone clicks "Like" on all their pictures on Facebook. Cousin Bob even let them shoot his wedding last month and WalMart did a great job of printing them out.
Yes learn to shoot video. Many of us already have a backup camera so maybe leave it set for video. IF you shoot weddings already maybe set it up on a static shot of the wedding and let it run. Include it as a bonus to the wedding photos. See how people react to it. If you get a good response to it then maybe add it as an option. Work your way into the business of being a Videographer.
Agreed. Everything starts with a highest standard of quality you HAVE to want to deliver, and video takes immense amount of mental preparation besides eons more editing time than stills. Otherwise you're just a monkey with a POS video camera/fancy GoPro. Few people ask me here and there if I also do video and I flatout tell them no because I know I won't be able to shoot a video with my idea of what a quality one should be.
On the whole FB likes, I had some random girl add me and try to strike up a conversation + ask for critique of her work. I did just that and she got super-defensive using the whole "I don't have all the fancy gear you do" and "my photos get soooo many likes in my circles." Well, I made back the money spent initially and got fancy gear from this craft's earnings. I don't need likes, I get dollars instead and that speaks for much more.
Another example is a guy I know whose work is extremely mediocre to a trained eye, and he focuses more on video, yet he listed weddings in his offered genres without having done a single one/having a single related album or folio on his site. I pray for anyone who hires him to do a full on wedding...
This is a service industry ultimately and all of our actions reflect on one another in the customers' eyes, so we should all do our jobs with that in mind. Promote the industry in the best possible light instead of possibly bombing it just to say you "can" do something you can't in order to attract another couple hundred bucks once.
