Our Wedding Movie Trailer…

Our Wedding Movie Trailer…

November 28th, 2008 @ 5:02 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

Alright I can’t wait any longer and must share this with you. I know I’m not finished doing all my recap posts, but I am way too excited to wait until I am done the recaps. One thing I loved about our wedding was our videographer. We were so lucky to have Wes Jones of Film Jones come to Montreal to film our wedding in 8 mm, not to mention that he was also great to work with. His footage truly captured the whole theme of our Vintage Glam wedding, and I would hire him all over again in a heart beat.

At first Mr. Flamingo didn’t want a wedding video because he didn’t want to force our friends and family to watch a 1 hour video… and I completely understood. But I wanted to have a wedding movie-esque trailer, a short film with all the important moments of the wedding… packed with lots of emotion sort of like a movie. So I went ahead and edited our wedding footage into a really short wedding trailer - a total of 9 minutes. Yup that’s it!

Our Wedding Trailer.

I used the Mac program Final Cut Express to do all the editing. Luckily my friend had the program and helped me a whole lot (Thanks Isabel!!!). The program isn’t very complicated, and with Google you can find many tutorials online. Because I compressed the movie quite a bit, the movie lost a lot of details and the 8mm effect isn’t as great as the original movie. But I think you will get the overall feel.

So do you like it? Will you be editing you wedding video?

Hands down that is the coolest footage from a wedding I’ve ever viewed. What an amazing idea to use 8 mm. I wanted to cry through the whole thing!

Dude I LOVED your video. I can’t believe you did this. I am so not technologically advanced enough to do that, but I can appreciate it. And you look beautiful. Congrats!

More than like it, LOVE it! I know the 2nd song is Memories by The Sequel.

But, like the others I would love to know the rest of the songs you used.
