Why do couples enquire and then not reply?

I’m getting so many couples at the moment who enquire, I reply straight away that I’m available and can we arrange a call? and they ignore me. Crickets. Ghosted again.

(My prices are transparently on my website)

It’s infuriating.

Filming with S5ii glitches/loops?

Has anyone else experienced this? One of my S5ii cameras has started glitching when recording 4K video. It records normally for a few minutes, but then suddenly it gets stuck looping about a second of footage. Stopped recording, hit record, a few minutes later it happens again. Swap the battery and then it’s ok.

It has only started doing it since I got the Sigma 28-70mm f2.8. I even bought more batteries in case it was a battery error (official Lumix ones), but it does it whatever battery I put in. Can a lens cause the camera to do this?

The annoying thing is that I switched to Lumix from the Sony A7iv because I had reliability issues with that! I’m a wedding filmmaker, so reliability is crucial!

Insurance question: Separating one brand into two as a sole trader?

I’m a wedding photographer and videographer.

The trouble with the business as it stands is that because I offer both, enquiring couples assume that I can do both solo and would be cheaper than hiring two individuals. They then ghost me when they realise that’s not the case.

So I am planning to separate the business into two separate brands: “(My Name) Photography” and “(My Name) Films”

I am registered as a sole trader, so I think the tax side of things is still ok as one income.

Would my insurance be ok in my name, or would both brands need separate public liability, indemnity, employers’ insurance, equipment cover, etc?

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III - speaker recommendations?

My Fender Hot Rod has an awful “beam of highs” on-axis, so I’m tempted to change the speaker. Any recommendations?

I can’t seem to find a balance between on/off-axis EQ with this amp, whether it’s on the floor, on a chair, or on the stand I bought, pointed straight at my head. EQ it on the stand and it’s muffled to the rest of the band. EQ off axis and it’s an ice-pick for whoever I point it towards!

SOTB — trying to be a minimalist…

I sing in my band as well as playing guitar, so I switched to a single row board and have tried to limit my options and simplify. The Moller is always on. Plugged into a Fender Tone Master Super Reverb. We play our own stuff, inspired by the likes of Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Feist, Laura Viers, Mew, Fleetwood Mac…

Recently added the old TC Flashback v1 for extra delay options, modulation, and a simple looper for when we want to work out parts as a band.

Help! Reviews tied to old brand name

I changed my brand name slightly, but now my reviews only show up when you search the old name! How do I actually contact Google to fix this? I’m losing business because I didn’t realise this would happen when I spent £4k on a rebrand and a new website!
