Hello All! I am still in Australia taping some stock footage for future and current projects in the marine industry, as well as editing The NLP Marketing Training by The Tad James Company and projects sent up online from the crew back home in the US. OK, so – the “Formula for The Perfect Wedding Video.” Bold title, simple equation. Follow me here: 

1. Find a couple getting married.
2. Make sure couple getting married is actually IN LOVE – this gives the video more credibility.
3. Don’t simply focus on the obvious. Remember: A wedding video chronicles the most important event in someone’s life, other than having kids, should that be their path. Capture the “Experience!”

 In this example below, which is the intro to a full length wedding video for Ben and Elizabeth Schmidt of Las Vegas,   we do all our wedding videos as such: We get lots of B-Roll footage of the environment. We capture the essence of the experience. Remember – the wedding party is so focused on getting it right and so oblivious to everything around them, it is our job to show them – what really went on there that they didn’t see or absorb. (Please don’t kill the messenger!) So make some popcorn and watch this short example of the way WE do it. Hopefully, this WILL inspire you to hire Shin-dig Film Production for all your wedding video or ALL your video production needs… wherever you are.

Along with the above tips, always use best practices when it comes to lighting indoors, avoid shooting into the light outdoors adn camera steadiness, along with a whole host of other technicalities we will eventually get to in different posts. The next blog post will be on the exciting association we have with the broadcast production of “Merit” racing in the Rolex Sydney to Hobart, and then Admi and Poindexter take over duties again for a while transferring my entries… Thank you for your time and enjoy the holidays – let us know if there is anything you would like to see here!
