I always enjoy filming the Greek weddings as the have so many different action scenes to film especially at the receptions with all the Greek dancing and all. I liked your video and the music you chosen. I have noticed though several out of focus scenes and unnecessary shaking of the camera. You could have also tied up the music to the video a bit better.

Until what time did you stay at the reception?

Thanks for feedback.

We stayed up until midnight and was hoping client asked us to stay longer due to the fun we were having but they couldn't have us there late

Jawad,
I like that kind of music, good job on the video, you have lots of good shots, the only thing that I did not like was the use of the fast zoom and some out of focus shots. Do you use auto focus ?

Cheers ....

no i use manual. I try to give it a different flare but I guess it didn't sit well with the eye with too many shots

That's strange. Usually we beg them..lol to leave.

I liked that video. Maybe the out-of-focus shots were a little bit more than needed (but not that much), but I like fast zooms and shakes when they can be used. In that case, with the exception of a couple of shots, it wasn't annoying in my eyes. But everybody's eyes are different :)
