Alright, this is a database of great wedding shots, use the same format as shown below to add shots, and someone with editing powers (HANK!) can add those to this post.
Format is...
Shot Title: Shot Description
Great Wedding Shots Database:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location establishing shot: Generally a shot of the church sign, or wedding facilitie sign. Techniques commonly used here include gliding, shifting focus from the facility to the sign, and zooming out from the sign to show the facility.
Virgin Rings: The two rings together, placed on a table with decorations around it, or on the ring pillow.
Bride Disappears/Reappears: Use a locked down tripod to capture the bride, having just gotten ready, walking down a stairway or a hall. Get a few seconds after she's out of the shot. In post, dissolve from one shot to the other so she disappears/reappears.
Adam's Famous Reflection Shot: Location: near pond/fountain with still water. From across the pond with a locked down tripod, record the bride and groom walking toward each other and meet in the middle so you can see the reflection. Have them stand still for 20-30 seconds (or maybe kiss). In post, duplicate the clip and stack it upon itself. wipe the top clip at 0 degrees so that one shot is the couple and the other is the reflection of the couple. Then, time shift one clip so that they couple is standing together but in the reflection, they are walking together.
Glidecam Draw: With the couple sitting/standing together, bring the cam up so that it's between them, shooting forward. With a smooth motion, bring the camera back to reveal the couple and their surroundings.
Glidecam Twister: Walk toward the subject and allow the camera to slowly rotate as you do. Rotation should be about 45 degrees total.

Great idea!
I'll start with a few of my fav's and add more later:
Bride Disappears/Reappears: Use a locked down tripod to capture the bride, having just gotten ready, walking down a stairway or a hall. Get a few seconds after she's out of the shot. In post, dissolve from one shot to the other so she disappears/reappears.
Adam's Famous Reflection Shot: Location: near pond/fountain with still water. From across the pond with a locked down tripod, record the bride and groom walking toward each other and meet in the middle so you can see the reflection. Have them stand still for 20-30 seconds (or maybe kiss). In post, duplicate the clip and stack it upon itself. wipe the top clip at 0 degrees so that one shot is the couple and the other is the reflection of the couple. Then, time shift one clip so that they couple is standing together but in the reflection, they are walking together.

I'll add more later!

Keep 'em coming. I'll do some sort of special database thing with them when we have a couple dozen or so.
Great idea, Jordan!

Half way through this piece, I start using my "Partial Freeze Frame" on a number of clips (e.g. when the bride raises both her elbows, and on a few more occasions later in the piece). The subject (usually the bride) freezes, whilst the remaining objects in the frame keep moving. Can be too subtle sometimes: some people don't notice the effect until it's gone!

Thanks for your suggestion, I think i'll put this in a "Wedding Video Effects" thread, here we're looking for just shots. |
