A few samples to inspire
Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:10 am
Having parked my video business gives me a little more time for personal entertainment and as my interest in the field hasn't diminished I peek in on colleagues work when they share a bit more than I use to have to.
Here are a few I feel worth sharing with my Cassie friends to inspire and perhaps share some ideas for you to perhaps incorporate into your own work in the future.
Primary trends I am noticing:
Most of those I consider that best wedding videogs are cutting way back on slow motion, not eliminating it, but using it for key emotional spots rather than for all shots and I like it.
DSLR use, extra expense (new equipment) and many new challenges (short uninterrupted recording times, an auto-focus not good enough to trust for many situations, inadequate on cam audio, all HD so much heavier processor requirements for editing, etc.), but dang, what beautiful visuals they give.
Much more ambient, live audio and voice over use to tell the story, to emphasize the emotion in place of just dubbing in a song over a bunch of scenes.
Much more work, but very effective.
Most wedding videos have a stereotypical look of a prepackaged montage of slow motion scenes and canned music.
This can look great, beautiful in fact and has been the standard norm for a couple of decades of wedding video, but is also the main reason non-wedding videogs pretty much look down on the wedding video industry, no innovation.
Wedding videogs such as these here are evolving their wedding video product into what I consider a more mainstream experience that I think markets itself well to high end clientelle.
So if that is your market, or you want it to be, this is something to think about.
None of these were done on Cassie equipment, but with the Gen3 machines, any of them could have been.
Ok, enough blathering, check out a recent wedding Trailer by Dave Williams and a couple of new wedding demos offering by Sarah Pendergraft and Matt Davis, respectively, enjoy.
