Why should I have my wedding videotaped?
There is nothing like a professionally made videotape to capture all the sights and sounds of your wedding day, an event which has become one of the major social events in a person’s life. What better opportunity to capture all of your family and friends and create a classic heirloom to be cherished for years to come. I have had many couples tell me that having a videotape made was the best thing they did on their wedding day.
Can’t a friend or family member videotape my wedding?
Certainly, but don’t expect professional results. Grand Productions has been working in video and cinematography since 1989, and we know all the ins and outs of capturing such an important event. We have professional 3-chip cameras, S-VHS mastering, titling, special effects generators, computer-based digital non-linear editing equipment, professional microphones, tripods, and plenty of backup equipment to create a true television production. We have no problem with other guests videotaping as long as they do not interfere with our efforts.
Won’t the cameramen be obtrusive and disruptive?
I have heard horror stories of bright lights during the ceremony and videographers stepping right up between the minister and the couple.
The kindest compliment anyone ever gave us was "I never even saw you all day". Grand Productions makes every effort to record your wedding unobtrusively and tastefully, using no lights at the ceremony, remaining stationary and silent throughout, and using a documentary style in all of our taping.
How should I choose a videographer?
It’s a fact of life that price plays a key role in determining your selection of professionals, and there is a photographer and videographer for every budget. Once you determine your spending limit, then you can begin to evaluate your professionals for quality, experience and compatibility. A professional 3-chip camera is a must if you are to get true broadcast quality.
Ask if they will be bringing a backup 3 chip camera and what sound and lighting capabilities they have. Having both UHF Wireless and wired microphones are critical to a good production. They should be able to edit your video on a non-linear editing system such as a DVREX if you want to get broadcast quality results. Also, a minimum of 2 cameras for proper coverage should be used, as well as professional microphones and lighting equipment. Ask your prospective videographer what equipment he or she will use at your wedding, and specifically who will be operating that equipment. Ask to see a sample of that person’s work. Don’t merely watch promotional videos - ask to see actual weddings with actual sound, preferably taped in the same locations as your upcoming event.
