Wedding Video Finally Done!

From the photo booth...Yes, I like to make strange faces.

Yes yes!!!  I'm FINALLY done my friend Tiff's wedding video!  It took me a while to edit, as my computer is somewhat slow and I shot everything in HD.  Uploading was a bit of a pain too, but so worth it!

This was my first time actually shooting something with my Canon 5D Mark II.  I mean, I've shot little videos (like the axolotl video I'm sure most of you have seen), but nothing major like this.  I can honestly say that I'm VERY impressed with the 5D.  Everything it shoots is so clear and gorgeous.  I'm pretty stoked about this camera!

The editing I did at home with Final Cut Express.  It's like the bigger brother version of iMovie, which I know some of you have used.  I'd love to upgrade to Final Cut Studio one of these days...but until then FCE is good enough.  I also incorporated After Effects to do some colouring for the footage.  The original stuff was a teeny bit dark, so I used some magic in AE to give it this lighter film look.

Okay, enough blabbing.  Watch it!



I get waaaay too excited for this kinda stuff.  Film production and editing are definitely my passions, and I feel pretty fortunate that I get to do this for a living.

If you guys ever have any video/editing questions, feel free to send me an e-mail or tweet.  I love helping out others.

Ciao lovelies!

Best part: Silhouette of a lady emerging from the tower of Pilsner cans.

This is really one of the better wedding videos I've seen. I had a smile on my face the whole time AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE!
