Now that you are planning your wedding it’s critical to consider your wedding video. Doing the entire thing yourself may be a lot less expensive and although the technology is superb when it comes to equipment as shown below, it is always better to get a professional to do the work if you need something really unique to keep as a memento.

All professional wedding Video Sydney based firms use state of the art equipment, the one thing that sets them apart is the standard of work that they do, and this usually is reflected by their qualifications and experience. Your wedding video is going to be something you will preserve over the years so it’s important the person doing the shooting has some good testimonials from prior 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 fantastic qualities that the Canon EOS 5D Mark II has, boasting a full 21.1 megapixel and an HD movie capacity ; one has to ask the question, if this is the point at which photographers and videographers will be doing the same job. Thinking about it, having just one equipment for two purposes should be the ‘it’ gadget. Considering that you don’t have to hold heavy tons of cameras, stands and lenses, having just one small camera should do the job. But is it actually up to it? Are we really into it?

There is an interesting convergence taking place though that is being driven by the hardware makers. Increasingly video capture is being found in everything from mobile phones and PDAs to dig cams. Also, the price of near-broadcast quality video gear has dropped to the point that cameras and editing systems that were the vision of creative film makers just a short while back are now reachable of virtually everyone.

Taking an efficient photograph means telling a story in a single image. Through choice of subject, composition, focus, cropping and so on, the cameraman 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 is the added part of multiple viewpoints achieved through editing, as well as sound. A mood can be made. A complicated story can be told. The spectator’s perceptions and feelings can be manipulated to achieve the creator’s educational or emotional ends. But this is unusual, at least to the quality standard that we have set. Most similar productions need 2, or three, or more folk with specialized talents to do the same.

Nevertheless, even those among us with lesser experience and abilities can still find pleasure in producing short videos and still footage that may be creatively satisfying, and also even achieve wider recognition. The point is that for some folks video production could be a very satisfying accessory to still photography, if not a real alternative. And, with the new generation of hi-def equipment that has just become available this year at grounded prices, the visible 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’s both photographer and a videographer? There’s just so much difference that both mediums are disagreeing with one another which one is best. Merging both will be difficult as it is confusing in a way that in an artist’s point of view, a picture says more than 1,000 words silently than a video that says 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 noobs alike. Professionals are keener on traditions ; 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 exclaiming this though, the pro 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 sole downside is, the SLR is basically built for taking photographs and not much thought is given to the ergonomics and functionality for videos. ( Maybe with its popularity among film makers this can soon change ). With the comparisons of differences and likenesses, it is concluded that in this time, it still is not satisfactory for both parties to merge as a one job description. Maybe a couple more years perhaps.

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.
