Length of video?
Just curious, but when I was talking to my videographer earlier, he mentioned that our entire video is about an hour long and that an hour is fairly short for a wedding video. I was expecting it to be shorter. Is this normal?
Re: Length of video?
Hmmm, I'm not sure. Our videographer actually did 3 videos for us. He did a Same Day Edit, which he did for us the DAY of the wedding (he edited during dinner) and he played it at our reception for everyone to watch...it was about 4 minutes long. (Instead of a slide show). He calls this the "Facebook" length video - long enough to post to FB for people to get just the absolutel highlights.
About two weeks after the wedding, he emailed me a 12 minute version. This is what he calls the "watch and share with friends video". For all those times you want to watch a video of your day but don't want to sit down and watch the full blown version. It's a good length to email to relatives who weren't able to make it, for example.
And then about a month after the wedding, he sent us all the videos in the mail, and this one included the 90 minute "cinematic" version, which had our entire ceremony, all our speeches, plus all the highlights from the other videos. This is the "watch on your anniversary" video and the "share with friends when you do your vow renewal on your 25th anniversary" video. haha
So I think that an hour is plenty of time, ours is 90 minutes because we had a Catholic Church ceremony, and we also had some LONG winded speeches (*ahem* Dave, Dave's brother, and Dave's dad).
An hour seems reasonable, but I'm not exactly an authority. We don't have any video of ours.
Though SIL did write this on my FB wall less than a month before the wedding: "i was also wondering if you had anyone taking pictures or video for the wedding..if not id do it!"
Ummm... Did she really think that I would have given no thought to whether or not I would have pictures of my wedding day? Or that I would trust my memories of my wedding day to a completely amateur photographer with a point-and-shoot Kodak?
Oh, wait. This is the girl who moves across states on 3 days' notice. Yes, she probably did think that.
