First attempt at wedding DEMO (JUST UPDATED VIDEO)

[RB]

Remember, I’m still an amateur.

Well I’ve just roughed out a wedding demo. Let me know what you think. I really would like to have some constructive criticism. Don’t hold back….

First off, can anyone tell me a wmv or quick-time codec that works better than the one I used? I think I picked the best one available from Adobe 6.5, but it still kinda $ucks. Second, please disregard the audio at the end, don’t know what happened there… In the process of fixin’ that.

No bad! You had a great angle on the ceremony. What is your gear setup?

It’s hard to get the couple to look at the video cam during the photo shoot, and I see that you have that problem also. I want to hang a sign from my camera that says "Remember me!" I’m soft spoken, so I’m trying to figure out at tactful way to get their attention.

What a rush, huh?

Thanks for the critic. I just updated it in letterbox format and tweaked a few things. Not everything yet, but I can still play all I want with it.

I also do not like them looking at the camera. In fact I told the groom when I was miking him, that I would rather they forget I was there. The bad part was when they did the first dance they kept turning their backs to me. Had to laugh, they took me to literally. Next time, I’ll have them play up to the camera, but don’t look…

The new mics that I have worked out better than I could have hoped. The audio was perfect if I must say…. 😀
