What's New In Wedding Videography
Over the years a lot has changed with wedding videos. Gone are the days of VHS, bulky awkward cameras, and Uncle Joe’s shaky camera work. Today it is much easier to find a professional that has the tools to turn your wedding day into its’ own little movie.
Here are some exciting things that are happening now in the wedding video industry that you need to know about.
The New Montage – Having a video put to music is nothing new, but RSVP has really put an emphasis on giving the montage a makeover. Here are a few things that have been upgraded. Special effects are now used. There are many examples of this, but I’ll talk about one that brides really love. I’m sure you’ve seen in your quest for a photographer images that are black and white but one object in the image is in color, like a bouquet. We use this trick now in video too. It was difficult to achieve for a long time because we have moving footage to manipulate, but now I use the trick when I can to make your video “pop”!
Another upgrade to the montage is the Fun Reel. Not every bride is in to having an emotional wedding video, some want just to be reminded of the fun they had or in some cases can’t remember. This is where we put the footage of people falling, passing out, or just dancing and having a good time put to upbeat music. Others offered are the Interviews Special Feature and the Movie Trailer. We are always on the lookout for new ways to make your wedding video better.
Digital Copies – One of the most successful products that we offer at RSVP is completely free with the purchase of any of our special features or montages. The iWedding. This is simply an electronic copy that can be downloaded by any of your friends or family and put on an iPod, keep it on their computer, or put on to a social site like myspace. Let’s face it, most people can’t get every single person they know to come and celebrate the wedding, whether it’s because of traveling or just prior commitments. This allows anyone and everyone who wants to see the finished video a chance to see the most important day of your life.
DVD or Email Announcements – Couples are now able to tell everyone they are getting married with a little creativity. This can be a sit down interview with you and your fiancé talking about how you got together or it can be a completely crazy production that showcases what makes you a great couple. After shooting and editing, you send out the DVD’s or if you want to be “techy” about it you can send out emails. The friends and family that receive these announcements always comment on how much they love this idea. More ideas and technology are always coming so we urge you to take advantage of all the new developments in Wedding Videos. It’s one part of your wedding planning that you shouldn’t overlook.
