Handheld Camcorder Camera
WEDDING VIDEOS – TO HAVE AND TO HOLD ONTO
Renowned artist, Andy Warhol, once said that everyone craves 15 minutes of fame and there’s no shortage of wedding parties attracting attention with crazy videos on social media like YouTube and MySpace, but in all likelihood as time goes by, they would trade all that for a quality wedding video.
And what about the good old days of handheld camcorders and a breathless uncle providing the running commentary?The much-anticipated video was often hugely disappointing.Usually, there were long periods of ‘floor footage’ when the camera was on – but forgotten – and the really important moments were out of focus or left out altogether.
Thankfully, these days, professional videography would be quite at home in Hollywood, with many wedding videos worthy of an Oscar for editing, performance and production. Professional video companies have state-of-the-art equipment which enables ‘pin-sharp’ quality with an array of special effects such as slow motion, inserts, 3D effects, graphics, digital mastering, high definition and multi-screens.
Many brides however, are so consumed with all the plans for the big day that they often forget to make the wedding video a top priority.Unfortunately, memories do fade and a video or DVD is the only way of preserving the action as it happened.It is really worth putting sufficient time and effort into ensuring your choice of videographer is the right one and that you’ll get a product you’re happy with.There’s only one opportunity at it.
These tips on how to find a wedding videographer – and how to work with them come from one of Perth’s top wedding videographers.
* Spend time thinking about what you really want your video to be like.Do you want it to be a personal history of your relationship, do you want the speeches included, do you want it to be formal or informal?
* Do your homework before deciding on a videographer.Do some research on the internet, go to local wedding fairs and ask other people for recommendations. Make a shortlist and view their work.Hold interviews with the selected companies to see if the chemistry works. You have to be absolutely comfortable in their presence as it’s an intimate working relationship - especially when stress levels escalate..
* Price shouldn’t be the deciding factor. Make your decision on personality, professionalism, quality and experience. An experienced professional will usually know about the various venues and can advise on weather conditions, angle of the sun at certain times of the day, best places for photography etc.Their experience is valuable.
* Get in early.The preferred companies will get snapped up quickly and it’s not unusual for brides to make bookings a year and a half before the date.
• Ask the video company about special effects such as photo montages, black and white production, music etc.You’ll need to decide whether you want your video set to music or if you want the actual sound. Check the sound quality.
• ‘Future-proof’ your video.Some videographers digitally master your wedding DVD so that when you make copies in the future, they’ll be the same quality as the original.
* Read the fine print.Make sure you understand everything that’s included in the price (and what’s not included).
Your wedding DVD allows you to experience your special day, over and over again.A top wedding videographer in Perth, DemicVideo said : “A wedding video is a unique, deeply personal and special representation of the big day in a package that should last forever.Make sure of your visual heirloom by taking the time to select the best person for the job.”
