              A Moving Moment, A Different Type Of Wedding Video

              As many of you know I (Lee Morris) am a professional wedding photographer. I was never a big fan of wedding videos until I saw the work that StillMotion was putting out. Even if you hate weddings you can appreciate what they do simply from an artistic standpoint. Even though I loved their work, I actually found it discouraging because I knew I could never do their style of video as well as they could so I never tried to film a wedding.

              I had the idea for over a year of shooting a wedding video similar to how I shoot stills. If I could slow down the video enough I could deal with basically a moving image, something that I felt a lot more comfortable with. It finally worked out that Patrick Hall had a wedding on a day that I was free and 3 days before the wedding I ran the idea by the bride and then called my buddy Mike to see if he wanted to help me film it. Check out the finished product below and the walk-through after that.



              Cameras Used:
              Canon 60D
              Canon T2i
              Panasonic AF100

              Lenses Used:
              Tamron 17-55mm 2.8 VC
              Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS
              Canon 200mm f2
              Canon 16-35mm 2.8
              Voigtlander 25mm f/0.95
              Panasonic 7-14mm F4
              Panasonic 14-140 f4-5.8

              Other Gear:
              Cinevate Atlas Slider
              Photoflex Starlite
              Ebay LED Panel

              I did a voice over of the video and tried to explain how we shot the project.

                Nicely done. I like the powerful music near the end really brings a good end to the video. I have to say I felt that the video was a little long to hold a person’s attention. Especially when everything is in slow motion it really drags the time out. Maybe cut it shorter by a bit?

                Excellent video; as you said, every single frame could be for itself. The Explanation also is very nice- refreshingly short and informative, with focus on technique, but without loosing the trail.

                Great Video, and an interessting fact is that it didn’t warp… I’ve always having troubles using twixtor like 50% speed, that it warp over and over, how did you make it work? I shoot at 50fps, because the european t2i
                allows only 50fps @ 720p.
                keep up the good work!
