Photos and Videos to be Rolled Into One?

Now that you are planning your wedding it’s critical to consider your wedding video. Doing the entire thing yourself might be a lot cheaper and even though the technology is incredible when it comes to equipment as explained below, it is always better to find a professional to do the work if you want something really unique to keep as a memento.

All pro wedding Video Sydney based companies use state of the art equipment, the only thing that sets them apart is the quality of work that they do, and this customarily is reflected by their qualifications and experience. Your wedding video is going to be something that you will preserve over time so it’s important that the person doing the shooting has some good testimonials from previous clients.

Wedding plans take time and thus there is no real need to rush into getting a wedding videographer Sydney based company, take your time and ensure that they are going to provide you with a brilliant production as a cherished memento. If you decide that you will do the wedding and honeymoon videos yourself, you may think about employing the Canon EOS 5D as it is a great camera for both videos and photos.

Given the amazing qualities that the Canon EOS 5D Mark II has, offering a full 21.1 megapixel and an HD movie capability ; one has to ask the question, if this is the point where photographers and videographers will be doing the same job. Thinking about it, having only one equipment for 2 purposes should be the ‘it’ gadget. Considering that you do not have to carry heavy loads of cameras, stands and lenses, having just one little camera should do the job. But is it really up to it? Are we really into it?

There’s an interesting convergence taking place though that’s being driven by the equipment makers. Increasingly video capture is being found in everything from mobile phones and PDAs to dig cams. Also, the cost of near-broadcast quality video gear has dropped to the point that cameras and modifying systems that were the dream of creative film makers merely a short while back are now reachable of almost everyone.

Taking a useful image means telling a story in a single image. Thru choice of subject, composition, focus, cropping and so on, the photographer selects those things that she or he wants to convey the meaning intended, or not. This is a demanding art as well as craft. With film or video, motion pictures as they once were universally called, there’s the added component of multiple perspectives achieved thru modifying, as well as sound. A mood can be created. A complicated story can be told. The spectator’s perceptions and feelings can be manipulated to realize the creator’s informational or emotional ends. But this is unusual, at least to the quality standard that we have set. Most similar productions require two, or 3, or more folk with specialized talents to accomplish the same thing.

Nevertheless, even those of us with smaller experience and talents can still find pleasure in producing short videos and still photos that may be creatively gratifying, and also even achieve wider recognition. The point is that for some people video production can be a very gratifying accessory to still photography, if not a real alternative. And, with the new generation of high-definition equipment which has just become available this year at grounded prices, the visual quality of what can be produced is simply amazing.

So, will this be the medium of the future? What will this be called? What will you call the person that is both photographer and a videographer? There is just so much difference that both mediums are disagreeing with each other which one is best. Merging both will be difficult as it is confusing in a way that in an artist’s standpoint, a picture says more than 1000 words silently than a video that announces everything in motion and in words.

If I’m going to have my private opinion, using just one piece of equipment for photography and videography should be best kept for the fans and beginners alike. Professionals are keener on conventions ; they need to be left with what they are trained to do. A photographer should stick to his SLR, and a videographer stick with his video camera. In saying this though, the professional videographer is drawn to the Canon 5D SLR only for its ability to provide wonderful video images, normally only seen in 100k and video cameras. The only downside is, the SLR is primarily built for taking photographs and not any thought is given to the ergonomics and functionality for videos. ( Maybe with its popularity among film makers this can shortly change ). With the comparisons of differences and likenesses, it is concluded that in this time, it still is not satisfactory for both parties to combine as a one job description. Perhaps two more years maybe.

Planning a wedding can very frustrating and ensuring that you find a professional wedding videographer is important to ensure that you end up with a quality production. Visit us to see wedding video testimonials from many happy clients and contact us to discuss your wedding video needs.
