Experience Matters

And not just direct experience. Having a diversity of experience can prepare you for many scenarios. At Unveiled, we have over 15 years combined experience with many forms of video production.

I (Jason) started out, and have been continuously involved with shooting events. That means plays, talent shows, beauty pageants, coaching seminars, tech conferences, and even editing a Tony Robbins event. How does that help me with weddings? Because like these shows, a wedding is live. When we cut cameras, there is no second take, no re-dos. That means that when something is happening, I need to be ready to capture it. And my background with events has made me quick on the draw, and very aware of human queues, so I can see when something is happening and be there to get on camera.

Additionally, Matt and I both have experience as editors. In fact, while I am a talented shooter, I usually introduce myself as an editor. Not only does this help your wedding video on the back end, when we use those skills directly to craft an amazing piece for you to cherish and share with your friends and family, but it also makes us better behind the camera. That may sound strange, but once you start to understand how to edit, you also understand what to shoot, and what not to shoot. This makes us more efficient filmers, allowing us to save media space on the important moments and only capture what filler we will actually use. And since we are also the editors, it means we can sort through the footage faster in post-production and deliver the final product sooner. I think that all camera operators and directors should be good editors as well.

On top of that, both Matt and I have direct experience shooting weddings, so we also know the ins and outs of this particular venue. Matt worked for a large Portland area wedding video service for four years, giving us a unique view into how the “big boys” do things. I have filmed several weddings myself, and also worked in a full production studio in Oregon City, enhancing my knowledge of editing, encoding, production and post-production workflow. And we haven’t even touched on Matt’s formal education in cinematic film.

All this and more culminates in a true veteran status, and we really want to bring that to as many weddings as possible. As I have said elsewhere on the blog (and will probably say in the future) my own wedding video was awful, and I feel it is my duty to prevent such a tragedy from happening to someone else whenever I can. So whether you are hiring us or someone else, make sure you know who you are working with, look at work samples and find out what else they know besides weddings. Experience can make all the difference.

Is Wedding Video Worth It?

Wedding season is upon us! Of course, you can get married any time of the year, but everyone knows that summer is the most popular season to tie the knot. And why not? It’s beautiful, sunny, warm, everyone is generally happier. So as busy brides prepare for the big day, it’s time to get the final ducks in a row. Decorations, caterers, give the band your song list… but what about video?

Wedding videography tends to fall low on the priority list, especially when it comes to the budget. And this is understandable. After all, pictures are easy to post on facebook or carry around in your wallet. And let’s face it – we’ve all seen wedding videos. You know the videos I’m talking about – low quality, stuck on a tripod, horrible audio. And who really wants to watch the ceremony over again? Some people maybe, but personally, I didn’t really want to listen to the ceremony during my own wedding (we chose a very short version)! In my opinion, it’s the most boring part of the wedding video. It’s a beautiful, emotional and truly special thing to experience but like a book that was great the first time through, knowing all the twists and turns makes the second read lackluster.

So if that’s all you’re getting, it stands to reason that you may as well just have your nephew point his iPhone at the alter and pay him twenty bucks, right?

But let’s look at the world of video today – Youtube, Vimeo, and Facebook now all make sharing your wedding video as easy as sharing your pictures. And advances in video technology have made high quality cameras and editing equipment available to budding young artists (like us at Unveiled Productions) who possess the creative energy and vision to make a wedding video that really speaks to the emotion of the day, rather than merely document an event. All that, and it can be done at a reasonable rate.

So before writing off video completely, take a look at some samples, shop around, look at prices – and realize that the wedding video is not what it used to be: dry, straightforward, and low quality. You can obtain wedding videos today that are exciting, heartwarming, and high quality at a reasonable price. A video can really capture the essence of your wedding day through motion and music, in a way that still photos alone never will. Remember, a photo is for capturing an instant, but a video can capture an entire experience – and this is perhaps the most important experience of you life. Capture accordingly.
