Now you really have to tell us what those tricks are. :)

Ahum.., just had a quick look at your demo's and really don't see any reason to be ashamed of, I saw some really creative work.

cheers, trouble is i have to rely on making fx, but Patrick is just naturally good with a camcorder

let's stop bullying Patrick about the light shot, oh and don't ask me how i did the goddam butterfly shot (they were actual butterflies that flew into my NLE ok!!) :) :)

Very good indeed.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was around 0:33. A little bit too much close-up of the bride's teeth, which doesn't show her at her best.

I agree Winfried. Probelm was, the bride didn't have us cover an hair, make-up, or any other preps. To make the same-day edit work and get enough footage in there, I had to use quite a bit from the coulpe moments we had with her otherwise it would have been all detail shots which would have lost the crowd. So, after try and option with the shot removed, it ended up lookng best with it in and we left it that way.

Thanks for the comments.

Oh come on, now we are getting nit picky over her teeth? You guys should consider yourselves lucky. Over here in the UK, we are lucky if the bride has teeth (Dentistry over here hasn't got the best of reputations!)

As my Grandfather used to say....."she could make a hell of a mess of a turnip field!"

There's none of us perfect and the best we are ever going to look is on our wedding day....actually....scrub that....my hair had fallen out by then!

Point is, Patrick is there to capture your day....something he does INCREDIBLY well.

Grateful as ever for Patrick to be gracious enough to share his stuff.

Thanks Alastair for the funny and kind post.

However I do really appreciate Winfried's honesty especially considering we talked about removing the shot.

lovely! the butterfly sequence was just sooo money! :)
