Wedding Video Spotlight: Rachelle and Chris

Wedding Video Spotlight: Rachelle and Chris

synopsis by: Jerome J.

This is an inspiring and sweet wedding video about a handicapped woman who is about to get married with a physically fit man.  The setting is in a farm land called the Friedman’s village.

The video starts off with a woman (maybe the best friend of the bride) who is reading her dedication to the married couple and she reads as follows:

“Love is a friendship caught on fire in the beginning of flame very pretty often hot in tears still only light is flickering, aS love grows older our hearts mature and our love becomes as cold deepening…..”

A soft background music starts as the video progresses it gives excerpts from the pre-wedding preparations beginning from the bride’s room  and then from the grooms side.

And the dedication continues…

“When I look at Chris and Rachelle together I truly see that deep is your love, untouchable love, a love that will stand together through the most difficult of times without condition. Your willingness to love each other with eyes on colored by the past is as rare as the purity and innocence of your love. They have shown me that life is hard and things change your love will remain the same.  There’s no one here who deserves the guy as wonderful as Chris more than she does so happy people…

Then the groom and all wedding entourage went to the wedding venue decorated with sunflowers. While the groom is waiting for the bride, the bride is wheeled through with a bouquet of sunflowers in her hand. The wedding ceremony starts and the couple is seating together, facing each other while the groom is holding her hand.

After the garden wedding, the bride and groom proceeded to the reception area where all the family members, guests and all wedding entourage where comfortably seated waiting for the couple.  Then the party begins.  The couple were dancing at the center of the dance floor and was sweetly talking and embracing each other unmindful of the guests around them.

Then finally as the wedding ceremony ended the couple was led outside and was presented with a gift. The gift was a brand new custom made SUV for the bride to be able to get inside through a ramp and can be secured inside with her wheelchair.

This wedding video combines background music and some live audio. Unlike other wedding videos that portrays the story out of a wedding video and background music only.

Wedding Video: Starting Your Own Video Business

Wedding Video: Starting Your Own Wedding Video Business

synopsis by: Jerome J.

Wedding Videography is one business that is becoming to be popular nowadays and this business only requires a small amount with one of the major equipment used is a professional Video equipment.  This equipment should be an HD  quality video with three chip camcorder.  This kind of equipment is highly recommended because of the quality of video it produces and of course the important thing is the features it carries with it. Quality HD camcorders is better used in outdoor shooting and has a good low light performance.

There are two kinds of camcorder that is available in the market.  One is the mounted camera and the other one is the handheld camera.  That mounted type of camcorder is of course when used is mounted on top of your shoulder so that it would not be tiring for the one using it for several hours because its weight is very well distributed throughout your body.  The handheld camcorder otherwise is much smaller, lighter in weight and very portable. Both equipments does not have really much difference, so it remains on what is the personal preference of the user.

Other equipments aside from the camera is the tripod and the reflector.  The tripod is used during stationary footage of an event so as to give much stability and the reflector is for light supplement purposes.

A videographer also needs other concerns such as business licenses and sales contracts.  Having a business license gives an impression to the customers that they are dealing with a professional videographer and tend to be comfortable in dealing with you.  Being prepared and on every transaction you have a sales contract to put your contract into a formal agreement. It could help out by stressing the scope of your agreement.

In order for the videographer to have more deals and closing more transactions quickly is for him to have price packages as well as video samples of weddings that he had covered before. It is best that on one meeting you could already present everything as well as answer all their concerns relative to their wedding day.

Make sure to collect an upfront non-refundable payment from the client in closing the contract and inform them on until where their advance payment covers.  It would be best if you could collect the whole and final amount before the wedding day.

Finally be familiar with the wedding planner before the wedding day and the DJ for the reception.  You have to be aware of the activities being lined up for the wedding day.

Wedding Video Tips: Audio

Wedding Video Tips: Audio

synopsis by: Gabriel A.

Videomaker presents some quick tips on how to capture high quality audio inside effectively for a wedding videography. As we all know, and as almost in all jolly occasions we will hear a lot of noises around. The wind humming, the leaves of trees as they sway into the music the wind is playing, voices of children that are either crying or laughing their guts out. And that example is on a private setting. More noises you will hear when the wedding is inside the city. These noises, on a wedding event, grand or not, they are acceptable because they add up to the hype of the event itself. And we have been living with noises all our lives that we can hardly even notice.

But not when it is being watched on the video. All those noises that we think are acceptable and adding to the hype of the event, that music sung by the wind and danced by the trees, car horns, people all around chatting and children playing, inside a video, they are unwanted noises. When we are trying to make a video, specifically an emotional one such as a wedding video, our goal is to capture, not only the event itself but also the emotion. We want our video to be carried away with their emotions. We want our video to be compelling, and heart-felt. So our intention of moving the people who gets to view, even if they haven’t attended the wedding event, if they are touched, then the videography is a success.

To achieve this intention, our main goal, we first need a high-definition camera, and some lights depending on the venue, and other peripherals and gadgets that we might possibly need. That is to ensure the quality of the video and image capturing. These are enough to make a great wedding videography production, if on post processing of the video, you are going to place a song to play along with the sequences. But what if the couple requested for interviews from their guests, or they want to watch and hear themselves say their vows? So you need to figure out how to get a high quality audio coverage as well. If you do not know how to do that, well here are great tips for you to use.

12 Great Tips For Wedding Videography

12 Great Tips For Wedding Videography

synopsis by: Jerome J.

Here are 12 suggestions for the bride and groom to better their video coverage. These are helpful tips for the wedding couple to be aware of their role also aside from the expertise of a videographer.

1. At your wedding rehearsal the couple should be aware of the camera’s location. Knowledge of this would make the couple avoid turning their backs to the camera.
2. During the ceremony the couple must not their backs to the guests.  It is recommended that the bride and groom face each other so that everybody could see them.
3. Some things should be understood. It should be followed strictly that either of them should avoid smoking or chewing gum during their wedding.
4. Before the wedding the couple should make sure that your videographer and photographer should communicate with each other. They have to coordinate with each other.
5. Groom’s microphone should be attached at his bow tie and never should he adjust his bow tie.
6. Photographs .The couple should always look at your photographer, not the videographer. Not unless the videographer will ask you to look at him.
7. Traditional moments. During traditional moments it is recommended that the videographer has to keep the lights turned up.  Ask the emcee ahead of time videographers should maintain low light to cover everything however during traditional moments like cutting of the cake, or the throwing of the bouquet it is recommended to bring the lights up.
8. Outdoor weddings. On outdoor weddings better shots are taken under the shade not on direct sunlight, this applies to both the videographer and the wedding couple. Better if there would be a tent or canopy for the wedding couple, it would be best to take the shots there.
9. Official videographer and photographer.  Have the DJ make an announcement for you. During traditional moments it is advised that the DJ announce the official photographer so that this will make the guests aware of the videographer and photographer who will be working their way around. This will discourage the guests to crowd in and take photos.
10. Lighting is great. Don’t sit too close to the light so as to keep your natural skin tone. Do not sit or be too close to any light source, too much purple light will make your skin color purple.
11. No plastic. Remove plastic that cover flowers or decorations or even your dress from the garment bag as well.
12. Don’t turn your backside to the camera.  The most flattering view is from the front.

Wedding Videography: Shooting Wedding Videos

Wedding Videography Tips: How to shoot wedding videos

synopsis by: Gabriel A.

Let’s just say you are not the actual hired wedding videographer, but you want to capture your friend’s wedding yourself. You wanted to shoot the video as how experts do it, mainly because it is a very important day for your friend and you want it special, and you want to capture the important moments without being obtrusive. And also, it would be a great portfolio for you if you get done great (just kidding). With kidding aside, videotaping the event gets you under pressured as much as what the couple must be feeling during the wedding ceremony. Because you do not want to make any mistake. You want to capture every wonderful moment on tape, on perfect timing, and on the right angle. The only problem is, you do not know how. Now here is a useful video for you:

Nigel Barker (host),a professional photographer and America’s Top Model co-star, and howdini.com is here with a cool video that will teach you  some useful tips on how to capture the important moments on the wedding effectively, without being obtrusive. These tips are not about getting a high-end camcorder, it is more about what you need to do to avoid hassles during the wedding. Well you know, you are capturing a live event and here, time is your enemy. So to avoid these possible hassles, Nigel Barker will tell you what must be done. Some are pretty obvious stuff, really, but it is better to actually know what these obvious things are, than to figure it out through the use of common sense. Trust me, it is. To explain that, you know that feeling when you are certain you have carried everything you need and then it started raining, and you didn’t bring an umbrella because it was sunny earlier? That is pretty much how important this video is. This is a very good video tip, not only for wedding videography, it can also be used in other important events and occasions that you might want to bring your camcorder and capture everything on tape.

Your Dream Wedding Videography

Your Dream Wedding Videography

by: Jan Placido

Planning your wedding can be difficult and you are going to undergo difficult decisions, and how to stay in with budget and still have your dream wedding. Money is a big aspect that could affect the decision of the couples. In this article we will have a discussion on how to realize your wedding dream and make it real.

When looking around for a the best videographer you will encounter a wide range of prices from $1,500- $15,000, it is possible too to get a wedding video done for free, but it is very rare, there are starters who would give a free wedding videography, just for practice and to file some portfolios for them. The thing you really need to think about is, you get what you pay for and the investment you have can be worth every single penny.

If you do really want someone to get a video of your wedding for free. My question is how? There are two possible ways to go about it. First is to ask a relative or a friend to do filming during your wedding day (but you aren’t sure of what would the results be) there are many drawbacks to this approach, first thing is that you want your guest to enjoy this occasion and it is very unlikely to ask a friend or relative for this. Other disability to this, are the lack of equipment and experience to capture a film.

As we move on to the second method of getting free videography, you can also post an ad to FACEBOOK and other social networking sites or classified ad requesting a film/video student to shoot your wedding for experience. It is more likely favorable to give a couple of bucks to those person who are accepting a free videography for experience, so you could assure that they will do their very best to give you a fine quality finished product.

You could expect a positive result to this approach rather than asking a family member or a friend to film your wedding video, it is likely much better because these students have the equipment and techniques of wedding videography, they have studied it for years and they can apply any knowledge for this particular wedding shoot. Hope you find this helpful, good luck and happy hunting couples.

The Cost and Value of Wedding Videographers

The Cost and Value of Wedding Videographers

by: Jan Placido

I have read in forum that numerous inquiries requesting for information about wedding videography. As what I know an average person who doesn’t know what a professional videographers do and tries to gather enough information in the internet to give them a wise decision in whether they will hire a wedding videographer.

Some people ask this question first, when they try to find the right videographer for their wedding. Most professional videographers will start bidding at $2,000, because they wanted to gain some return investments on their equipment and tools. Unfortunately wedding market industry is full of people who do some hoaxes and has the mentality of “get rich quick”. This ranges from the person who went out to the mall and find, some equipment with books that they can read, on how to make easy money in videography. Some wedding companies who, makes a huge amount of money bluffs every client that they would do their best in giving them top notch quality videos. A significant section of the wedding industry is marketing a very predictable consumer mentality. These people or companies realize a significant number of people will shop only by the prices, and disregards the value of esthetic quality.

This is something you must bear in your mind a cheap videographer that gives you a lesser price tends to have a low quality product. The fact remains that if you looked carefully for a videographer and finding the right videographer, you shouldn’t be impressed with people offering cheap wedding videos, because weddings are special and it should not be treated like this, it needs to have an excellent product result.

The cost and value of wedding videographers

Unluckily, the objective and art are not as easy as like choosing the right fish for dinner, or to buy a BLU-RAY player or some exact same item. There are many cases, that your expenditure to hire a really good videographer is almost intangible and that is really worth it. The cost maybe very comparable but the quality of the footage are way to different, a true talented and a passionate wedding videographer doesn’t provide you with low quality result. They would really do their best in order to satisfy their clients and make a clean name for them.

Experienced Wedding Videographers

Experienced Wedding Videographers

by: Jan Placido

If you don’t have any idea or experience in filming or capturing images, it could be difficult to tell if a professional wedding videographer has a high level of skills or is he just simply bluffing. Research can give you a big benefit it could help you pinpoint some important ideas about videography. It can also help you shed some answers and will know if your potential videographer is good or not.

Wedding is a very special day and it should never be treated as unimportant thing, and it should not be treated such. Don’t ever rely on your wedding videographer you are interviewing and tell you everything you wanted to know, there are lots of articles on how to find a right videographer for your wedding.

Experience may be a good asset for a wedding videographer but still it is not enough to judge the creativeness of a wedding videographer, there are still some aspects that you must consider in finding the right videographer. Videographers do everything to make them your wedding videographer they will show off their recent edits or footage just to convince them to hire them.

Natural lighting is the best tool for creating a video, and everyone knows that natural lighting plays a key role in any kind of video. Analytically you might ask a professional videographer about this, weddings are not all the same. Maybe his/her previous footage could have been in indoor wedding receptions and yours maybe outdoor, on the other basis every spot or location has different lightings and has different shadows too and the time could also be a big aspect too.

A true professional videographer does not only use natural lights for him to shoot. This implicates that your potential wedding videographer cannot provide top of the line gadgets and can make a very bad footage during the day of this exciting occasion.

Checking the noise of the sound being recorded, might still be considered too, the truth is videographers have lots of things to consider, they just don’t capture moving objects but they have to capture sounds in the surrounding as well. Make sure your videographer has a tool for this and you must ask if he could provide a good microphone for the sound. Poor sounds tools will also provide you with low quality sounds and thus ruins your video.

Wedding Videography: The Interviews

Wedding Videography: The Interviews

synopsis by: Jan Placido

Interviews have helped us for the past few years, in hiring news casters, it helped news reporters to communicate or talk to their viewers. It also helps researchers getting raw data through interviews and they became integral parts of their studies. Interviews are sets of questions and would help you uncover many truths and stories from different people.

In marriage, an interview can also be a portion of the celebration. Interviews for weddings is another option to tell the world how love stories come to a very happy special endings, this is also one way of letting the guest to express their best wishes for the couples, particularly to those who are close to the bride and groom. It may not be something that can contribute to change the world, but it is something that can be shared and tell people how successful love stories are created. This is done through wedding videography

This part of wedding videography can be a bit difficult, especially during the event, because guest will be busy chatting around with fellow guest as well. There are some people too during this day are busy helping out with the wedding. Nevertheless the person who is official asked to the tasks must know how to get the right timing in order to get the job well done. The person is assigned to do the tasked must interview the couple days before, in different venues to create different scene.  It is very important to any interviews that are questions laid out to have a very spontaneous conversation.

You must also put this into consideration, you have to prepare questions that are asked in the right way, the questions must be polite and nothing too offensive and personal interviewing couple must oversee about the, couple and highlight their best moment together and admirable challenges. The bottom line here is every question that is asked should be interrelated to each other and tact. Interviewers must make sure to uncover the best parts of their story.

Couples maybe a bit nervous in front of the camera, and it is the job of the interviewer to make them relax, and make them comfortable, to make sure their stories will be told.
