Help to choose

OK so a recent wedding in Greece, the bride n groom love both trailers and expect me to choose the one to play at a showing/stroke party for quite a lot of guests. I Like both myself but head thinks quick, short and out, any thoughts guys. Her film is ready in two weeks so i did not want to get the lot in, as i like the film to hit the nail on the head as it where. Steve UK.

I agree, go with the shorter one.

Was the island Skiathos? I recognise the bronze statue and what looks like Skiathos Old Harbour.

Hey Steve

Shorter is always better! Yeah I would go for the short version ..that has more impact and gets to the point! Are you showing it once or looping it over a longer period??? If a guest is on the loo they might miss just one showing!!

Not trying to hijack your thread Steve, but if it's of interest here is a short I made of Skiathos a few years ago. We picked the wrong time of year to go! Skiathos May 2012 - Video Dailymotion
