Winter Wedding Trailer (minus snow)
I hate posting critiques of peoples clips without putting one of my own up (hi Rich). So here we go.
I went for a stripped-down use of grading on this clip. Trying to make it look more natural than usual. All criticisms welcome. especially if you like/dislike the vertigo shot. |
Hi Aaron,
Some really nice creative shots and good composition overall. Not sure about the music and definately did not like the 'Time waits for no one' for a wedding trailer! Also noticed the gliding was a little unsteady. What glidecam are you using. Looks like it needs to be set up better. I like vocals in clips. It adds more to the piece, but this was quite short so not a problem Thx for sharing. John De Rienzo |
hey Aaron
basically everything John said there! I esp loved the mirror-writing shot, and the silhouette shot. both worked really well. And nice that it was short and sweet too. Def. whets the appetite for the B+G/guests I always have a problem with clips that say 'coming soon' accompanying a shot of the Bride and Groom, but that's just my dirty mind, LOL ;) cheers |
Thanks for your replies John & Rich.
John – I know what you mean about the music, but the couple loved the band so I thought ‘what the hell’. We use the Glidecam 4000, and I know some shots are unsteady, but they are getting better. I agree about vocals – I much prefer them, but as it’s a trailer I didn’t want to use it as it gave too much away rather than teasing the clients as it should. Richard – You need to clean that mind of yours ;) Seriously though, I know what you mean and I am looking into other ways of improving them. I just wanted to keep this one short and stripped down. Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of the “Two Families Come Together” bold entry text. I always read it in my mind as the bloke who does the V/Os for movie trailers (you know the one who sounds like he gargles nails). I wouldn’t be able to put one together without laughing too hard. PS. I promise to work harder on the GC. Cheers Aaron |
