videographer.org · how it works
What actually gets exchanged
Three messages, and an email address that moves exactly once — on accept, to one person.
01
You search a date
Videographers who marked that exact day available, opted in, and cover the work.
what moves
- their name
- their city
- the shoot types they cover
- their reel
- a note they wrote
what does not
- an email address — there is no field for one, and no way to ask
02
You ask one of them
A request is deliberately short, and this is all of it.
what moves
- your name
- your city
- the date
- a shoot type, if you set one
- up to 280 characters you wrote
what does not
- your email address
- anything else from your listing
- a second request, while the first one is still unanswered
03
They accept, or they do not
Accepting is the only thing on this property that reveals an address, and it reveals both at the same moment.
what moves
- on accept: each of you gets the other’s email
- rates, call time and paperwork — between you two, and we take no cut
what does not
- on decline: anything beyond the no
- any charge, either way
the part people get wrong
Two switches, not one
Marking a day available does not put you in the network. Discoverability is its own switch, on your listing.
Marking a day available saves it. Being findable is a switch on your listing, and your dates page tells you which one you are missing.
- Marked available — peers find you for that date, and client work goes to you first
- Marked busy — nothing reaches you that day, client work included
- Unmarked — client work reaches you as normal, but a peer searching that date will not find you
Mark a date, then flip one switch
Marked days find you nobody on their own. Your dates page says which of the two you are still missing.
