COVERAGE OPTIONS : SHORT FORM DESCRIPTION
This is our signature piece. Using techniques borrowed from the motion picture industry like time compression and time shifting, we can capture the rich emotional power of your wedding and deliver it to you in a dramatic and highly entertaining way so you will enjoy watching your wedding movie over and over again.
Although no two short form videos are exactly alike, we always try to include these basic elements:
- A musical montage of the bride and groom getting ready as well as pre-ceremony activities like guests arriving, flowers being arranged, etc. In addition, we use natural audio and pre-recorded comments whenever possible to make the presentation even more personal.
- The essence of your wedding ceremony. Our short form doesn't include your entire, unedited ceremony. That's what the archive copy is for. Instead, we give you the highly emotional spirit of the ceremony: the processional, the declaration of intent, the exchanging of vows, exchanging of rings, etc. During the pre-interview we discuss this in detail with you so that if there is a significant event that is occuring during the ceremony that is significant to you, we will make sure the essence of that event is captured as well.
- A musical montage of your post-ceremony activities, again using natural sound whenever possible. We really enjoy this piece the best because all the wedding day jitters are over and we really get to see the REAL bride and groom.
- A highly edited version of your reception. Again, the archive copy will address any of your editing concerns but this will show all the significant events of your reception. We do not include all the dancing but, instead, give you a montage of the best dancing moments.
- Finally, we close every short form video with our signature romantic recap of your wedding day. This musical highlight montage captures the best moments of the day. It's included as a separate "bonus feature" on your wedding DVD which makes it perfect for showing friends and family when you only have a few minutes.
All of this is delivered on a fully authored DVD complete with a custom artwork cover that makes your video even more personal. In addition, whenever possible, we include a "Deleted Scenes" special feature which shows scenes that were funny, personal, or just plain good but weren't able to make it into the final edited piece.
