Carl, thanks for the comments. Could you elaborate on why the song didn't work for you?

Shaun, thanks for watching. I color grade within Final Cut Pro.

It's not that it didn't do it for me its just that it wouldn't be my first pick with all the new available songs out there. The song on the highlight is so cliche and played out from 1990's wedding videos.

But again its personal preferences, the clients probably have a particular attachment to this one.

Thanks for clarifying, Carl. That was pretty much the reason it wasn't my pick. It's just been done before and it feels dated (but not in a good way yet). I wasn't sure if you had another reason or not. Thanks again.

I didn't think the music held back the piece at all, even though it wouldn't have been my choice. I liked the edit and camera work (again, nice job with the handheld stabilizer). I wasn't into the coloring though. It was consistent, but came off a little flat to me. That's just personal taste though. Nice work.

Travis awesome piece of work here. IMHO, and I am in the minority here, I think the dated nature of it is kind of the point. Look at the bride's dress, hairpiece, choice of jewelry (diamond solitare earrings even though she has multiple holes), hair style, and color scheme. I don't know this couple but i would imagine they were shooting for a retro-chique kind of style and feel and I felt the reggae version of this song added that throwback feel with a new world flavor.

Your video work is superb and apparently your customer service is exemplary. I applaud you for providing your clients a first rate artpiece with music you appear to be hesitant about. Great job, and I look forward to more entertainment from you!

Thanks, Bryan. I always feel like even if the music isn't MY first choice, if it's what will make the couple happiest then it's my job to make it work. Thanks for all your comments. I appreciate it.
