Andy Warhol
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 remember the days when wedding videos were captured on a shaky, handheld camcorder?The eagerly awaited video was often a major disappointment.The off button was rarely pushed, resulting in lots of footage of the floor, the tablecloth, the roof etc whilst the important moments were barely captured on film.
It’s a relief to know that these days, videography has improved to Hollywood standards. 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, don’t make the video a priority as they are so busy with all the other important planning elements of the wedding. The fact is, memories fade and a video is the only way to relive every detail of the special occasion as it happened. It’s worth investing time and effort in making sure the video is perfect.There’s only one opportunity at it.
These hints from a busy Perth wedding video firm will pave the way for a wonderful working relationship with your camera guy – and will ensure your special day lives on, and on, and on.
* Give some serious thought as to what you want your video to look like. Do you want it to include all the speeches, do you want coverage of the rehearsals and preparations?
• When deciding on a videographer, do your homework thoroughly.Research companies on the internet and ask people for recommendations.Once you have a shortlist, watch examples of work they’ve done.Interview the companies to get a feel for how they operate and to see if the chemistry is right.Especially when tensions rise, it’s absolutely vital that you feel completely at ease with them around..
* Price shouldn’t be the deciding factor. Look for professionalism, craftsmanship and experience.Experienced professionals will be at ease at any venue and will know about the protocols involved in photography and the church, plus they can advise on a variety of other aspects such as possible weather conditions and the best locations to have photos taken.Their experience is valuable.
* Book well ahead.The top companies will get booked up quickly and it’s wise to confirm up to 18 months ahead of your big day.
• 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.And remember, sound quality is vital.
* ‘Future proof’ the 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 small print.Be clear on what the quote includes (number of hours, editing, number of copies etc).
A wedding video is an opportunity to relive your big day, whenever you want. In the words of DemicVideo, a leading Perth wedding video company : “Your wedding video should be a unique, quality and sincere representation of your special day. It’s an investment in a visual heirloom, so make sure you’ve hired the right videographer for the job.”
