Re: A Wedding or a Funfair?
Now, if you want to see a funfair wedding here is a literal one. Will be making it public soon but for now you get a sneak look.

Did I see that right they hired a marry go round and a ferris wheel for their wedding or was there a fair nearby the venue?

Re: A Wedding or a Funfair?
HI Danny,
Now that's what I call a Funfair wedding:-) For a number of years I have filmed showman's weddings, but they have never wanted their funfairs included, although I would love to. You are quite right of course, the repetitive and boring weddings pay the bills, so I object to doing them, just grit my teeth and give them what they want. Some weddings are still fun though.

If weddings weren't such a big deal nowadays, neither would videography. We wouldn't be pushing the boundaries as much with interesting films, and we would have a lot less material for the edit as a whole, though I realise that technological advancements are the real reason for our spurt in popularity and ability to deliver a better product. I honestly think that if you hate weddings so much, you should consider lending your skills to other areas of videography. I am sure that they would pay just as well. Personally, I find weddings to be really exciting, and I still see the things mentioned in this thread. The care that goes into these weddings, the love of family members and the happiness that is present... sure, there are extras, but for the most part, I think brides want these things themselves... less so, feeling pressurised into doing so themselves... though I know that from a personal point of view, I wouldn't want all the extras. I'd put that money into hiring an amazing photographer and videographer, have a nice meal, a good DJ or band and call it a day with a decent venue. Having attended some pretty lavish weddings as a guest, I would feel a bit worried myself of other people's opinions... but for the most part, I think they would expect the wedding that I give to them. Being lavish is for camera accessories, not for weddings themselves! Haha |

Just quoted my own post here, because I seem to no longer have the facility to edit my posts after posting. I intended to put 'So I DON'T object to doing them', but I missed out the all important 'don't' which completely changes the context. Just couldn't amend it afterwards :-( I certainly don\'t hate weddings and some I really enjoy, it\'s just the total sameness of many weddings that I find frustrating when I do several close together. It\'s not the people or the venues or the filming, just the endless identical props and gimmicks to be fashionable. Roger |
