Re: Wedding at Ash Lawn - Highland, Charlottesville, Virginia
Hey Michael, I guess my main feeling is that it feels well shot, well covered, well edited. There's nothing wrong with the video, so it's hard, or I think so anyway, to say how to improve.
I've got an idea that maybe if you shortened from 6 minutes to 3 minutes, that would make it more impactful. Would force you to be more selective about shots. For instance, I loved the bridal waltz images (liked that they were shallow but wide, showing context, with beautiful highlights on the ceiling), but I think it did detract from impact that the same composition is repeated with dissolves, and then used in the father/daughter and mother/son dance. |

Re: Wedding at Ash Lawn - Highland, Charlottesville, Virginia
Thanks for the feedback Adrian, I think that regarding the dances we can get more creative and shoot some different angles next year. As far as the length of time, I've been talking with my assistants quite a bit about how long to make each video for next year. For most of our packages, we offer a long form documentary style video that is typically 45-75 minutes and also a shorter highlight video. The first few highlight videos we created were about 3-4 minutes and then I decided to lengthen them to 5-7 minutes in order to make sure the brides feel like they're getting their money's worth. While the brides have seemed to like having almost all the events in the highlights video, I have found that some of them seem to drag a little bit as we're including some less interesting footage. I'll keep thinking about the length of the videos as it would take much less editing to create a 3 minute video and we could also be sure that we're only using the best available shots.
Thanks again, Mike |
