Digital= unlimited film, I am surprised more pros don't take advantage of it. That said the tale you are telling is predefined and linear and is really little different for all cases and mostly a matter of experience so that you are standing in the right place at the right time with the lens cap off and ready to go. > >Of course some of the Wedding pros sub all the digital processing and >printing out, there are a few majors who handle that end of the business. If >it was me however I'd be looking for a true Atrisan. This does not appear to be the case with video. Get it right and it is more or less possible to shoot they whole thing with little editing other than topping and tailing the individual scenes so they flow nicely. Problems occur when they want to include "their song" in the soundtrack and syncing that in with the images and keeping it meaningful can be very time consuming. My particular USP is to make two videos. One 30-35 minutes long and a simple formal linear record of events as would want to be seen by MiL and a second shorter "outtakes" reel with as much candid humour as can be incorporated. This seems to overcome many reservations they may have regarding cost[1] but there is no way it can be outsourced as it depends on producing product tailored to the customer and the knowledge required to do that can only be gained from first hand experience on the day. [1] If I were still doing it I would only work from recommendation and thus they are well prepared for the cost beforehand. -- steve auvache

I remember steve auvache <dont_spam(a)thecow.me.uk> saying something like: >You only get one chance at that moment just as the Bride and her Dad are >gathering themselves at the church entrance, only one at "the kiss" at the >end of the ceremony and processing the results of those may take >considerable time to get them just right. Ffs, don't do this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9HD5GZooPQ&feature=player_embedded The video guy must've been pissing himself at payback for the 'tog ruining his shot.

That would explain why there's no supplement in the Sainsbury's one. Thanks, I shall see what I can find. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |
