Same Day Edit...that wasn't planned!
We had a great time meeting this couple and decided as we rolled up to the reception to surprise them with a SDE. There was no real buffer time between the ceremony and reception....we just felt like stressing ourselves out I guess. We pulled footage as quickly as possible and started building a timeline. I wasn't too happy with all the clips pulled as there was some Brevis footage we did not use but time was of the essence and had to work with what we had. The video was a hit. I love watching and listening to reactions. It is really a great way to see what works and what doesn't....instant feedback.

TV or projector
Great video.
With this being a last minute suprise for the Bride & Groom, what did you guys do for display? Did you take a TV with you? (size?) or did you rely on the venue having a TV and/or projector and screen? Thinking of adding SDE's to my optional extras ection as I think it would be a big hit, my biggest issue would be what I mentioned (how to display it,. TV, projector+screen etc... If using a projector what do you guys do for sound? What time do you guys show your SDE's? Thanks in advance James |

John, great job. I'm not going to critique it as I'm sure you already know what you would change, plus it was a last minute thing it sounds like. I liked the look of the prep shots especially. |
Hi Travis,

This was last Saturday's movie I showed at the reception after the band's first set: ~ annmarie and eric | 9.27.08 ~ It was a long day, literally 16 hours, with down-time throughout the day. So when I was shooting I was capturing and when I wasn't shooting I was cutting. |

I would be tempted to have a template laid out already with clip placeholders (ie big text that says b-roll of flowers, then close up of something, etc). If you use that prep style, is that too constricting? Or would that help? |

Same here in Phoenix. I did a SDE once. Once. I covet the few minutes that we get to eat and recharge ourselves. With more energy we tend to get better shots and more usable footage. Plus the 115 degree heat takes a lot out of you!
Hiring someone seems like it would drive the cost up to where it wouldn't be marketable - especially in a recession. |
