How could I not?
This couple got in touch with me just three weeks before their wedding. In order to cut costs we agreed that we would not do a highlights trailer.
When I arrived, about a half hour in, I said to myself "I'm definitely doing a highlights trailer", I just loved the setting (Donegal, Ireland) and the styling, and the couple were just great on camera. So as a surprise for them I gave them a shorter than usual highlights along with the package they ordered. The thing is, when we put work online its a form of free advertising, I felt putting this couple in a highlights trailer will only help my business! My other clients better not hear that I hand out freebies though! |

If you've got the time and the wedding is worth it then it makes sense to do a trailer to promote your business.
I enjoyed watching it, nice and simple in a good way. The timing with the 'pop' of the champagne with the music was great. A few of questions, I guess you are shooting with DSLRs. Do you use 2 solo? I see you use a stabilizer a lot. Is it easy to keep balanced throughout the wedding even if you take the camera off repeatedly? Cheers! |

Good wedding films. However, I didn't like that you use copyrighted music.

I must admit, that I found little in the music choice to signify the country, and didn't really like it, but no doubt it was selected for a reason. I don;t quite understand what copyright music has to do with it? There are choices to be made - pleasant but unforgettable music, or popular stuff people may like. If you clear the copyright, it's just another choice. Victor - do you mean you never, ever use well known tracks?

Regardless, I liked the short highlights! Well done. |
Re: How could I not?
I didn't know Ingrid Michaelson sold her music for use in wedding videos, anyone has a link to where it can be bought/licensed? If the price is right I might use it for one of my demo's.

Ouch, songfreedom...They don't have worldwide streaming rights worldwide for all their songs, not touching that with a stick. But thx anyway for the link :)

I figure once in a while is better than doing it ALL the time. Andrew, yea, I'm a solo shooter. I have started to always use the stabiliser (Glidecam nano) for my guest shots. Its so dynamic, and you can get in among people and turn around a group standing together to see all the individuals. Since doing it this way, I would never go back to using multiple fixed position shots. I go fixed for service, speeches and photoshoot. Glidecam for in between and dances! |

Great video Clive. Liked everything, how it was shot, edited and music. Made it feel like a real celebration.

Na, I see where Victor is coming from, its not a popular thing to tell a client that they can't choose a U2 song for their video, but it IS the law. I made the decision a few months back to go legal. And then that licence fee is taken out of my potential profit with every wedding, I must admit it starts to annoy me when competitors continue to ignore the law, while I'm paying out.
But like I said, this was an exception. I'm a naughty boy! |
