officiant website ad....
 
Hey, what do you think of this? I was hired to create videos for an officiant company for each of their officiants. I unfortunately was shooting with a 7d and a nx5u, so the footage doesn't seamlessly merge together, but they weren't expecting a perfect job. (they would rather have 2 cams instead of one). Also, the ceremony was about 9mins long so I could barely scrounge together enough footage to complete their 3 min requirement.

I have edited your post in order to properly show an embedded
Vimeo player. When posting Vimeo clips to a DV Info Net forum,
*do not* use any special embedding code; simply post the direct
URL of the clip. In this case it was:

Code:

http://vimeo.com/22791121
-- that's all you need to show a Vimeo clip here.

The concept is good, but the execution could use a bit more polishing. I'm assuming this isn't a rough draft, so I'll direct my comments towards a final edit:
Get rid of the focus hunt at the 15sec mark, only 1 second is actually in focus, and it doesn't look deliberate. Some shaky footage around :32 and :52, stabilize any shaky shots unless it's for effect. You might want to adjust headroom (pan/tilt in post) on the 2nd angle shot of the reverend at :24. He looks like he's sinking into that couch.Color match your cameras on the processional. Tighten up the edit at 2:38 where the clip starts off with the officiant turning a page. There is an audio glitch at 3:20 before the crowd applauds. If you have any reaction shots during the ceremony, they might be nice to include. You should also include some sort of contact information (beginning/end or on a lower third throughout) for someone to contact the reverend.
Sorry if it sounds nitpicky, but I'm assuming you want to put your best work out there.

Thank you Oren,
Yes this was actually a rough cut made to show the person who had hired me so that we could see if he liked the basic gist of it. I have to do several of these but only had a days time before I was shooting the next one. Unfortunately I didn't get any reaction shots because the bride didn't hire a videographer so I didn't want to intrude on her wedding (but she did approve of me being there of course). I will certainly take your advice and adjust a lot of it accordingly. Thanks alot for the help!
