Love Story Ideas Please?

Thanks Steve...this videography stuff ain't for no sissies! Holy moly I'm overwhelmed with all that has to be accounted for, everything that has to be understood, etc. Photographers have it way easy compared to this, don't they?

To shed some light on my video, the main reason why the couple didn't look totally into it during the interview is because it is my sister and her husband. I filmed their wedding months ago, and asked them while they were in town for Easter if they would let me do a love story vid with them for practice. The whole thing was sort of rushed because he wasn't thrilled with the idea. All the lovey dovey stuff outside was pretty much forced/fake, lol. Believe me, they're not like that. Ah, the magic of Hollywood, erm..Orlando..uh...filmmaking!

Anyway, I tried to make the interview quick and painless on their part, which is why I kept it in one location. If this was actually an eager couple who paid me and were about to get married it would have been different, and it would have shown in their faces. So, I don't think it's necessary to have both of them in the same room/next to each other.
