Hey David!

Great to see a new wedding clip from you. I figured it was all over.

Loved it. I'm definitely stealing the lock down superimposition shot when I get a chance. That was very effective and looked very cool.

Great job at making what was probably not much of a happening time look fun. I mean, no best man, no groomsmen, no family. Hard to get good material, but your shooting and editing did the job.

Your style is so recognizable as being you. I think that's a great achievement.

Where did you find a groom who would bike down the stairs? Man, that would be great!

Cheers,
Vito

Thanks Vito,

I have one wedding left to shoot next year and I think I will do an ultra wide shot, divide the room into 1/3's and have the groom get ready in each section than edit it all into one shot of him putting his pants on in one side, the shirt on the other end, the tie in the middle..and end with all three blending into him doin a flyin tux for his jacket.

Maybe you could have him throw his jacket to himself. That would rock...hehe...

Great work, man. Always a pleasure to watch.

I loved it. So nice to see a wedding clip with a true sense of fun; so much of it seems to serious and romantic, so desperat to be "moody"

Ditto the comment about making something out of not much at all. That is what I call ingenuity


Very nice

Nice work,, and full of creativity.
And that Lock-down composite was excellent.

In the words of my twenty year olds:: that was "SICK" :-)

Honestly, I've liked some of your older stuff better. I did however LOVE the split screen/dressing in two different rooms bit. I'm gonna have to steal that one. That's too good to pass up. I knew when I clicked your link to watch this thing that I'd find something in there I've never thought of using in a wedding before. That's what I love about your work. It might not be my style, but dang it, it's original and that's hard to come by.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. It can get difficult keeping things fresh and find something new to try or do. Not to mention, I think this is the first time I heard Ozzy in a wedding video.

You do some nice work Ethan, I just checked out your site and watched the first clip. That was slick shooting and editing. Nicer and more beautiful than anything I have ever done. I will check out the rest after diner.

There are so many good videographers around these days. It's great to see how much better the industry has become over the last few years.
