Video Production Services for Weddings – Why it is Necessary?


http://24ktsound.com/
Weddings are considered to be one of the happiest times in everyone’s life. They provide an opportunity to reunite with loved ones near and far. They represent the beginning of a new chapter in a couple’s life, a time to celebrate the passage from being a child in one family to becoming a husband or wife and beginning a new family. For many people, a wedding is the perfect time to see their grandparents, aunts, uncles or even their own parents. Since it is a time for celebration, you’ll often witness many of the guests truly enjoying themselves. Weddings create a tremendous opportunity to capture the magic and emotion of these special moments.  As a wedding videographer in Los Angeles for the past 30 years, I know the value of creating these types of memories. Weddings are not unique in this regard. Any event that brings loved ones together in celebration is worthy of recording.

My parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, a two day long celebration, brought my father’s five brothers and sisters together for the first time in many years. The video of the event, recorded by a colleague of mine, has since become a family heirloom with some of the only footage ever made of all six siblings together. Now that they’re all gone, the video has become invaluable.

Modern technology not only allows us to record these moments but also creatively weave them into a unique, cinematically dramatic keepsake for families to enjoy for generations to come. The addition of wedding video made possible for the first time the ability for children to see what really happened at their parent’s wedding. They get to see relatives they may have never met. Video allows them to share a very special memory with their parents.

In addition, while watching their own wedding video, many brides admit they didn’t remember certain portions of the event and some of the activities that the video clearly showed them participating in. Even though photography has been around for more than a century, nothing can capture the essence or emotion of a wedding celebration quite like video. And, photography doesn’t capture the sounds of that day. They can laugh all over again at the best man’s toast or wipe the tear from their eyes as they watch the bride’s dad share a special dance with his daughter. Wedding videography in Los Angeles is some of the best being made in the country allowing couples to relive any part of their wedding day anytime they wish . It s a magical bridge to the past.

Breaking The Ice – A Videographer’s Perspective

Breaking The Ice
 
We who work in the wedding and special event industry have chuckled over the entertaining spectacle of a photographer trying to entice a baby to smile for a photo with whistles, bird calls, teddy bears and funny faces with parents and relatives on the sidelines doing the same. But what do you do with a group of nervous adults whose language you don’t speak and who don’t understand what you’d like them to do?

As a professional videographer that works often with particular nationalities, having a couple of tricks up your sleeve that can help adults feel more comfortable can make a big difference in how your shoot goes. Here’s a simple strategy that I’ve seen in action while on a video shoot where a couple of photographer friends of mine were trying to pose a very conservative group of foreign visitors that seemed to be more than a little bit unsure about the process.

I watched the photographers instantly warm up the shoot by trying to say a few words to the guests in their native language. I don’t really know exactly what was said, but the reaction was instantaneous. The looks of amazement and the laughter that ensued said it all…the whole ambiance changed. Almost magically and because of their little gesture the language barrier-related awkwardness that prevented people from being themselves vanished. Reaching out to the guests in a way they could relate to put them at ease.
