WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY By: Victor Verola
Every year a greater percentage of weddings are being remembered with video. Be careful who you choose. The temptation is to get a wholesale price from a “professional” or a “gift” from a friend or relative, with a sophisticated consumer camera who has “mastered the switches on his camera”, but does not having adequate lighting or sound equipment to capture your Wedding Day.
Choose and trust:
a) A company in the business full time –doing weddings, commercials, special events, etc….
b) Uses only commercial broadcast quality or HD cameras, lighting, and sound systems.
c) Have their own commercial editing equipment, software, and expertise
d) The Videographer is a full time certified filmmaker
e) A company that carries liability insurance
f) Has all backup equipment should anything fail
Equally important is the talent of the cameraman and the quality of the editing. There are two types of editing: camera editing done on location as the event progresses, and our recommended method- post production in an editing studio by a professional editor.
REMEMBER: A wedding has no retakes. The videographer has enough to contend with in capturing the affair as it happens, besides having to edit down the contents simultaneously. The investment of time in post production is well worth it for in the ultimate quality of this lifetime product. It is worth finding a company who wouldn’t do it any other way. This is a long and very involved process – usually requiring 15 or more hours of the editors’ time working on state of the art software. A good editor also adds great add-ons and special effects.
A recent poll of brides in Bride Magazine showed that 93% of the brides that chose not to do video, regretted it later….With today’s economic climate in mind, we recommend saving elsewhere. Photography and Video are the two important items you will remember your wedding by. While photographs are stills, a video will show you the entire event with animation, vows, music, and is a cherished lifetime memory.
Our packages are very reasonably priced from the Simple to the Ultimate – there is one to fit your needs.
